Rotem Platelet and Multiplate ADPtest results lack agreement; leaves open validation of either for post-P2Y12 assessment in cardiac surgery.
Does the Rotem Platelet system provide comparable platelet reactivity measurements to the Multiplate system in cardiac surgery patients?
Platelet function assessment with Rotem Platelet greatly differs from Multiplate, with low precision preventing the use of a correction value, and Multiplate being more reliable for assessing reactivity after P2Y12 inhibitor discontinuation.
