Platelet-rich Plasma Production
Conditions
Keywords
platelet-rich plasma, platelet
Brief summary
This is a study to determine 1) the consistency of platelet-rich plasma produced by several methods, and 2) whether the platelet content of platelet-rich plasma can be accurately estimated from a baseline CBC platelet count.
Detailed description
In the first phase of this study a baseline CBC platelet count will be performed on each subject and then platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the same blood sample by six different methods. The platelet count will be measured in each PRP preparation and compared to the CBC platelet count to determine the platelet yield for each method. In the second phase of the study a baseline CBC platelet count will be performed on each subject and then platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the same blood sample by six different methods. The CBC platelet count will be used to calculate the estimated platelet content of each sample/method based on the platelet yields determined in the first phase. The platelet count will be measured in each PRP preparation and compared to the estimated platelet content to determine the predictive accuracy for each method.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Platelet yield | within 8 hours of blood draw | the number of platelets in a PRP sample as a percentage of the number of platelets in the blood from which the PRP was prepared. |
| Platelet yield estimate accuracy | within one month of final data collection | standard deviation of the difference between the estimated platelet yield and the actual platelet yield. |
