Key result
The standardised Ivy technique and Simplate II had similar sensitivity to aspirin-induced platelet defects, whereas the Thrombolette tended to be less sensitive (difference not significant).
Why the study?
Do the standardised Ivy technique, Simplate II, and Thrombolette have similar sensitivity to aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction in normal volunteers?
Do the standardised Ivy technique, Simplate II, and Thrombolette have similar sensitivity to aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction in normal volunteers?
p-value: p=not significant
The standardised Ivy technique and Simplate II device offer similar sensitivity for detecting aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction, with no significant difference compared to the Thrombolette.

Ivy and Simplate II may be interchangeable for aspirin effect detection; leaves open whether Thrombolette suffices in practice.
Bain et al. (1983) studied Normal volunteers (n=35). Standardised Ivy technique vs. Simplate II and Thrombolette was evaluated on Sensitivity to an aspirin-induced defect of platelet function (p=not significant). The standardised Ivy technique and Simplate II had similar sensitivity to aspirin-induced platelet defects, whereas the Thrombolette tended to be less sensitive (difference not significant).
