Method A prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted on surgical patients with related bleedingto assess the hemostatic potential of CSPs compared with RTPs. The primary outcomes measured were drainage volume, platelet counts, and Thrombelastography-maximum amplitude. Secondary outcomes included hospital stays, length of stay in the intensive care unit, medical expenses. Results A total of 62 patients were completed the final clinical observation. There were 31 cases ineach of the CSPs group and RTPs group. With in 1–12 hours, 13–24 hours, 25–48 hours, and 49–72 hours after platelet transfusion, drainage volume: 8.5ml/h vs 20.83ml/h ,0.52ml/h vs 5.0ml/h, 3.5ml/h vs 5.0ml/h, 0.63ml/h vs 4.1ml/h. platelet counts:58×10 9 /L vs 79×10 9 /L, 54×10 9 /Lvs77×10 9 /L,63×10 9 /L vs 75×10 9 /L, 66×10 9 /Lvs79×10 9 /L. TEG-MA: 50.1mm vs 52.0mm ,50.1mm vs 54.8mm, 53.0mm vs 56.6, 56.0mm vs 53.2mm.There was no overall difference between the two groups by Generalized estimation equation at different times (P drainage =0.933,P PLT counts =0.473,P TEG−MA =0.246). The secondary outcomes (hospital stay, ICU stay time, medical cost, discharge outcome) were no difference between the CSPs group and RTPs group (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in adverse platelet transfusion events between the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion CSPs and RTP have equivalent efficacy and safety in the treatment of surgery-related bleeding. This trial provides reliable evidence to support the clinical application of CSPs.

Platelet Platelet storage Cold-stored platelets Bleeding Hemostasis Figures Figure 1 Introduction Platelet transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of massive bleeding, especially in cases such as traumatic hemorrhage, postoperative bleeding, and thrombocytopenia caused by platelet functional disorders 1–2 .Timely platelet transfusion after massive bleeding during initial resuscitation can significantly reduce mortality 3 . Currently, the standard storage limit for platelets in China is 5 days at room temperature. Faced with an increasingly severe shortage of platelet supply, researchers have never stopped exploring solutions to the problem of platelet shortage, from studying the addition of preservatives for internal storage to exploring external storage environments. In-depth research on platelet ultrastructure provides new evidence: refrigerated storage does not affect the hemostatic function of platelets when they into the bod, despite potential functional losses. Based on this, researchers have regained interest in refrigerated platelets and have proposed their application in trauma and other bleeding patient. In 1969, Murphy and Gardner showed that cryopreserved platelets would be quickly cleared by blood circulation after input into the human body 4.5 . This conclusion had a profound impact on the preservation of platelets. Since then, domestically and internationally, platelets have been stored at room temperature under gentle agitation. Over the past decades, the use of platelets in blood transfusion has increased significantly, especially in patients with trauma or surgery. In recent years, the advantages of CSPs, such as long storage time, less bacterial growth, and strong coagulation ability 6 , have attracted renewed attention. The ability to release platelets of patients with massive surgical bleeding is usually not affected, and immediate hemostasis after platelets entry into the body is the primary consideration. The hemostasis advantage of refrigerated platelet preservation is just applicable to patients with surgical massive bleeding. Eker et al. 7 and our previous in- vitro studies 8,9 confirmed that CSPs, had higher and faster thrombin generation capacity than RTPs and could be stored for 10–14 d. The FDA approved the use of CSPs for 3 days in 2015. In August 2019, the U.S. Army Blood Program received approval to store CSPs for 14 days to treat patients with bleeding when RTPs are not available or not practical to use 10 . In February 2020, the US FDA granted the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center permission to use 14 day refrigerated platelets 11 . Torres Filho et al. constructed an animal model of in vivo bleeding and thrombosis which demonstrated that CSPs performed as well as RTPs in platelet adhesion and thrombosis in normal blood volume and hemorrhagic hypotension 12 . Strandenes G et al. completed clinical trials on platelets stored in cold storage for 7 days and 8–14 days in cardiac surgery patients in 2016 and 2020 respectively, supporting the feasibility of CSPs in clinical use 13 14 . In order to solve the problem of platelet shortage and make the application of CSPs in Chinese medical institutions as soon as possible, we carried out the therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions observation trial of CSPs transfusion in patients with surgical-related bleeding in China for the first time. This study is a non-inferiority clinical trial, assuming no significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two treatment regimens. Materials And Methods Design This prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial(RCT), was independently completed by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital and approved by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital’s Medical Ethics Committee [(2020) R005]. All written informed consents have been obtained from the study participants or their legal representatives. The trial was pre-registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2000036353. 22/08/2020. The trial protocol and statistical analysis plan are available in Supplement 1 and Supplement 2. Study Population Patients were recruited from the departments of emergency surgery, obstetrics, and cardiac surgery. The study was conducted between January 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022. Follow-up assessments were completed on July 15, 2022, encompassing a total of 121 cases. Inclusion criteria Following clinical evaluation by the attending physician, the patient must meet the conditions of ( 1 ) and ( 2 ), and meet the conditions of ( 3 ) or ( 4 ).

Data Extraction Two researchers according to the SAP ( statistical analysis plan) and filled in the case report form (CRF)encompassing a total of 238 items covering baseline characteristics, vital signs as clinical features, five categories of laboratory tests, surgical details such as surgery time along and surgery type; Blood transfusion before platelet transfusion;Platelet infusion start and stop time༛Pre- and post-transfusion platelet drainage volume༛Application of blood products after platelet transfusion; Other medical interventions, such as the use of anticoagulants and hemostatic agents; Discharge outcomes; Adverse reactions to blood transfusion༛Application Scenarios of platelets༈Preoperative traumatic hemorrhage, Massive bleeding during the operation, Postoperative thrombocytopenia). Platelet collection and transfusion In this study, single-donor platelets were utilized and all were sourced from the Blood Center of Xi'an. Informed consent was obtained from the donors, ensuring compliance with the national standard of the People's Republic of China (GB18467-2011) 15 . Platelet transfusion was performed by trained nurses following established protocols, while closely monitoring and documenting both the transfusion process and any associated responses. The platelets used in this study were autologous(donor) plasma platelets (AS). ( 1 ) CSPs: The platelets used in this study were first stored at 22℃ for 18-24h, then kept at 4℃ for 10–14 days. ( 2 ) RTPs: Agitation preservation platelets at 22℃ for 5 days (20–24℃). Outcome Measures Primary outcomes In order to comprehensively evaluate the hemostatic effect of platelets on surgical bleeding patients, we employed three indicators, including drainage volume, platelet count, and TEG-MA value, for a comprehensive assessment as the primary outcome. ( 1 ) Drainage volume: serves as an objective indicator for assessing the hemostatic efficacy of platelet transfusion. Collection volume: the sum of all drainage tubes of patients (thoracic drainage, abdominal drainage, intracranial drainage, etc.) ( 2 ) Platelet count: it is a laboratory index to evaluate the number of platelets after platelet transfusion. ( 3 ) TEG-MA value: it is employed as a laboratory index to assess post-transfusion platelet function. Secondary outcomes ( 1 ) Hospital stays. ( 2 ) ICU stay. ( 3 ) Medical expenses. ( 4 ) Discharge outcomes. ( 5 ) Utilization of various blood components following platelet transfusion. Efficacy evaluation of blood test indicators ( 1 ) Complete blood count, ( 2 ) Coagulation markers, ( 3 ) Thromboelastography indicators. Safety evaluation ( 1 ) Adverse platelet transfusion events, such as transfusion reactions and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis, were assessed. ( 2 ) Other clinical evaluation indicators included monitoring vital signs, assessing blood routine indicators, liver function test indicators, renal function test indicators, as well as analyzing urine and feces samples. Study termination and withdrawal A total of 121 cases were observed from January 2021 to July 2022. During the study period, 55 cases were excluded before inclusion (16 cases with severe pulmonary infection, 18 cases with cirrhosis bleeding, 6 cases with pregnancy complicated with thrombocytopenia, 4 cases with age less than 18 years old, 5 cases with age over 80 years old, 6 cases with renal failure complicated with thrombocytopenia). A total of 4 cases were terminated and not included. According to the CSPs group and RTPs group, 62 patients were statistically analyzed(Figure 1 ). Randomization and blinding A randomization table was generated using SPSS software to allocate subjects into the experimental group or control group in a 1:1 ratio (Fig. 1 , Supplement 2). To ensure double-blind conditions, subjects were numbered sequentially based on platelet application order and platelets were distributed accordingly using a random number table. The appearance and preparation methods of platelets in both groups remained consistent, with their preparation date and expiration date concealed for uniform packaging. After taking the CSPs out of the refrigerator, they are left at room temperature for half an hour to ensure that the temperature of their outer packaging is consistent with that of RTPs, thus ensuring double-blind conditions. Unblinding After the completion of the trial and thorough data cleaning, the dataset was securely locked and submitted to the School of Epidemiology and Public Health Statistics staff at Xi'an Jiao Tong University. It successfully met all requirements for clinical drug efficacy observation, enabling final statistical analysis and unblinding on September 18, 2022. Statistical analysis The demographic characteristics and baseline indicators were compared using appropriate statistical tests. The measurement data were summarized as mean, standard deviation, and median, and the difference between the two groups was assessed using either a T-test or Mann-Whitney U test based on the distribution of the data. For categorical data, proportions were calculated, and differences between the two datasets were determined using either a Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS Version 26.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY: IBM Corp) and Prism 6 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA). The analysis of the main outcome indicators involved the utilization of a generalized estimation equation (GEE) for statistical assessment of various indicators, including drainage, PLT counts, and TEG-MA, in order to compare the hemostatic efficacy between the two groups. Comparisons of this frequency were made using either a Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method. All statistical tests conducted in this study were two-tailed with significance set at P < 0.05. Results Study Population A total of 121 patients were enrolled in the randomized clinical trial, 55 cases were excluded before inclusion, 4 cases being terminated and withdrawn. Therefore, a total of 62 cases completed the final clinical observation. Both the CSPs and RTPs groups consisted of 31 cases each (Fig. 1 ). The mean age for patients in the CSPs group was 51 years, while it was 57 years for those in the RTPs group. In terms of gender distribution, there were 23 males (74.2%) in the CSPs group and 15 males (48.4%) in the RTPs group. The detailed baseline characteristics of both groups can be found in Table 1 . In view of our study population consisting mainlyof patients with traumatic bleeding, postpartum bleeding, and surgical-related bleeding,the stratified statistical results regarding baseline data are providedin Supplement 3 Part 2,eTable s1 -1-3.

Primary outcomes ( 1 ) The drainage volume in the CSPs and RTPs groups during 1–12 hours, 13–24 hours, 25–48 hours, and 49–72 hours after platelet transfusion were as follows: 8.5 ml/h vs 20.83ml/h, 0.52 ml/h vs 5.0 ml/h, 3.5 ml/h vs 5.0 ml/h, and 0.63 ml/h vs 4.1ml /h respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups overall (P = 0.933), nor within each of the four time periods (P > 0 .05). ( 2 ) The platelet counts of the CSPs and RTPs groups during four post-transfusion periods were as follows: 58×10 9 /L vs 79×10 9 /L,54×10 9 /L vs 77×10 9 /L,63×10 9 /L vs 75×10 9 /L,and 66×10 9 /L vs 79 ×10 9 /L.Overall there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P = 0.473). However, at both the first period (1–12 hours) and second period (13–24 hours) after platelet transfusion,the CSPs group had lower platelet counts compared to the RTPs group (P = 0 .037; P = 0 .043). ( 3 ) The MA values of CSPs and RTPsgroups during four post-transfusion periods were respectively: 50.1 mm vs 52.0 mm, 50.1 mm vs 54.8 mm, 53.0 mm vs 56.6 mm, and 56.0 mm vs 53.2 mm.There was no significant difference between the two groups overall (P = 0.246), nor within each of the four time periods (P > 0.005) (Table 2 ).

Statistical analysis was performed using IBMSPSS26.0. Secondary Outcomes The secondary outcomes of the the CSPs group and RTPs group: There were no significant differences between the two group’ hospital stays, ICU stays, medical expenses, discharge outcome (P > 0.05). The transfusion volume within 72 hours after platelet transfusion in the two groups was RBC (U) / FFP (ml)/ PLT (therapeutic volume) = 2.03/216/0.42 vs 3.19/213/0.41, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference in the transfusion ratio between the two groups, Platelet transfusion repeated at 72 hours: 9 vs 11 (P > 0.05).

Evaluation of the efficacy of blood test indicators Blood test indicators; The differences between the two groups were compared before transfusion and during four periods after platelet transfusion. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare the differences between the groups at each time point, revealing no statistically significant differences between the groups in any period. Additionally, considering the linear effect of time, Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) analysis was conducted to compare the longitudinal data of blood routine indicators during treatment in both groups, which still showed no significant statistical difference (P > 0.05). (Supplement 3 Part 1,eTable 2) Safety evaluation outcomes The CSPs group presented with one case of intermuscular venous thrombosis affecting both calves and another case of intermuscular venous thrombosis specifically in the right calf, as detected by B-ultrasound. In the RTPs group, there was no significant difference observed between one case of double calf muscle venous thrombosis and one case of left calf muscle venous thrombosis identified through B-ultrasound (P > 0.05). Furthermore, no transfusion reactions such as hemolysis reaction, fever reaction, allergy, transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) and transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) were reported following platelet transfusion in either group (Supplement 3 Part 1,eTable 3). The vital signs were assessed within 72 hours following platelet transfusion in both groups, and no significant differences were observed between the two groups (P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 1, eTable 4). Liver function indicators and renal function indicators were compared and evaluated before and after platelet transfusion at the 72-hour mark, with no statistically significant differences found (P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 1, eTable 5). Routine urinary fecal indicators including urine protein levels and fecal occult blood tests were compared before and after platelet transfusion at the 72-hour mark, revealing no significant differences (P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 1, eTable 6). Stratification statistics were conducted for patients with traumatic bleeding, postpartum bleeding and cardiac surgery Primary outcomes: There were no significant differences observed between the CSPs and RTPs groups in terms of drainage volume, platelet count, and TEG-MA for the treatment of the three diseases (P > 0.05). Additionally, there were no significant differences observed between the two groups during the four measurement periods (P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 2, eTable 2 − 1, 2–2, 2–3). The secondary outcomes: There were no significant differences between the two groups’ hospitalization time, ICU treatment time, hospitalization cost, discharge outcome, transfusion of different blood components within and after 72 hours of platelet transfusion(P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 2, eTable 3 − 1, 3 − 2, 3–3). Blood test indicators: No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups (P > 0.05), and there were also no significant differences observed in each indicator's five measurement periods between both groups (P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 2,eTable4 -1 ,4 − 2 ,4 − 3 )2. Safety evaluation outcomes: Intermuscular venous calf thrombosis occurred in patients with traumatic bleeding in both CSPs and RTPs groups ( Supplement 3 Part 2, eTable 5 − 1,5 − 2,5 − 3). Vital signs: Overall there was no statistically significant difference observed between the two groups(P > 0.05) (Supplement 3 Part 2, eTable 6 − 1,6 − 2,6 − 3). Liver function indicators and renal function indicators before and after platelet transfusion at a duration of seventy-two hours showed no statistically significance (P > 0.05) ( Supplement 3 Part 2, eTable 7 − 1,7 − 2,7 − 3). Discussion The results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference observed in the clinical efficacy between CSPs and RTPs for the management of bleeding. This study demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing platelets stored at 4℃ for 10–14 days in clinical settings, providing a foundation for future promotion and application of refrigerated platelets. In the past three decades, there have been significant advancements in our understanding of platelet application. Firstly, for patients with thrombocytopenia caused by myelosuppression, ensuring longer platelet survival in blood circulation is crucial, making room temperature-stored platelets (RTPs) the optimal choice. Secondly, for patients with war wounds, trauma, and surgical massive bleeding where bone marrow inhibition is not a concern but coagulopathy poses a major problem 17–19 , rapid hemostasis becomes paramount. Cold-stored platelets (CSPs) offer strong hemostatic properties and facilitate thrombosis and clot formation 20–21 ; thus timely infusion of CSPs can be considered for such patients. To evaluate the efficacy of CSPs compared to RTPs after platelet transfusion over a period of 72 hours, we conducted longitudinal data analysis encompassing five observation periods. Key indicators, including drainage flows, platelet counts, and TEG-MA measurements, were consistently monitored. Analysis using generalized estimation equations revealed no statistically significant differences in key evaluation indicators between the two groups from post-transfusion up to 72 hours later. However, during the first 12 hours and from hour 13 to hour 24 after platelet transfusion, the CSPs group exhibited lower platelet counts compared to the RSP group due to potentially more active aggregation and hemostasis upon entry into the body. Nevertheless, no significant differences were detected in segmental drainage flow rates or MA values between both groups during these time intervals, thereby validating the excellent immediate hemostatic efficacy attributed to the use of CSP. Supporting evidence is derived from clinical trials conducted by Strandenes G et al., wherein their studies in 2016 and 2020 respectively demonstrated a superior aggregation response following transfusion using cold-stored platelets compared to room temperature stored platelets (RTPs) in cardiac surgery patients 12–13,22 . In our study, all 31 cases in the CSPs group achieved complete cure or improvement, while 27 cases in the RTPs group showed effectiveness (one case resulted in mortality and three cases did not recover), with no statistically significant difference observed. However, further clinical case verification is required to determine whether CSPs can effectively reduce mortality caused by extensive surgical bleeding. Stratified analysis of conditions and comparison of secondary outcomes between the two groups revealed consistent trends in evaluating traumatic bleeding, postpartum bleeding, and surgery-related bleeding. The patient population receiving RTPs demonstrated a higher risk profile indicating increased susceptibility to mortality. Although no differences were observed in complications, it should be noted that the limited sample size of this study prevents definitive conclusions regarding similarity in risk profiles between CSPs and RTPs. Our study showed that there were 2 cases of intermuscular venous calf thrombosis in each of the trauma bleeding patients in the CSPs and RTPs group. These 4 patients had relatively serious multiple systemic injuries, where the lower extremity intermuscular venous thrombosis was related to their conditions. There were no blood transfusion reactions such as hemolysis, fever, allergy, cardiac overload or transfusion-related lung injury after platelet transfusion. Vital signs were detected within 72 hours after platelet transfusion between the two groups. Liver function indicators and renal function indicators were compared and evaluated before and after discharge, and there were no significant differences. From these indicators, we believe that cold storage of platelets is safe for clinical use. Our results were consistent with the conclusions of Strandenes 13 , Warner, M.A 23 and Leeper C.M 24 . The platelets used in this study were autologous plasma platelets (AS), which were stored at room temperature (22℃) for 18–24 hours and then transferred to cold storage. The Getz TM 25 study suggested that CSP clumping is caused by the binding of fibrinogen to activated PLT, and this process can be mitigated by the use of PLT additive solution (PAS). The Wagner 26 study found that platelets stored at room temperature for 8 hours at 20–24℃ before storage at 1–6℃ showed less aggregation responses to collagen, ADP and TRAP than platelets stored at room temperature for 1–2 hours before refrigeration. The Mayo Clinic Donation Center optimized its platelet inventory in April 2020 to allow pathogen-treated RTPs normally stored at five days to be refrigerated for up to nine days 23 .Wood et al. 27 extended the shelf life of platelets when they were routinely stored until near expiration (4 days) and then transferred to cold storage. The results showed that the metabolism and activation of delayed cold platelets was similar to that of cold platelets. Therefore, delayed-cold storage method may also serve as a viable alternative for applications aimed at maximizing platelet functionality. Conclusion In this study, CSPs were clinically applied for the first time in China. No significant difference was observed in the therapeutic efficacy between CSPs and RTP. There were no disparities found in primary efficacy indicators, secondary efficacy indicators, and safety evaluation indicators between the two groups. Considering the substantial advantages of extended storage time offered by CSPs, they exhibit promising prospects for clinical applications. Limitations The present study was conducted at a single center and had a limited sample size. It is important to note that our study population exclusively consisted of individuals aged 18 years or above, thus necessitating further investigation into pediatric and neonatal cases.

Currently, the standard storage limit for platelets in China is 5 days at room temperature. Faced with an increasingly severe shortage of platelet supply, researchers have never stopped exploring solutions to the problem of platelet shortage, from studying the addition of preservatives for internal storage to exploring external storage environments. In-depth research on platelet ultrastructure provides new evidence: refrigerated storage does not affect the hemostatic function of platelets when they into the bod, despite potential functional losses. Based on this, researchers have regained interest in refrigerated platelets and have proposed their application in trauma and other bleeding patient.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1969, Murphy and Gardner showed that cryopreserved platelets would be quickly cleared by blood circulation after input into the human body\u003csup\u003e4.5\u003c/sup\u003e. This conclusion had a profound impact on the preservation of platelets. Since then, domestically and internationally, platelets have been stored at room temperature under gentle agitation. Over the past decades, the use of platelets in blood transfusion has increased significantly, especially in patients with trauma or surgery. In recent years, the advantages of CSPs, such as long storage time, less bacterial growth, and strong coagulation ability\u003csup\u003e6\u003c/sup\u003e, have attracted renewed attention. The ability to release platelets of patients with massive surgical bleeding is usually not affected, and immediate hemostasis after platelets entry into the body is the primary consideration. The hemostasis advantage of refrigerated platelet preservation is just applicable to patients with surgical massive bleeding.

This study demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing platelets stored at 4℃ for 10\u0026ndash;14 days in clinical settings, providing a foundation for future promotion and application of refrigerated platelets.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the past three decades, there have been significant advancements in our understanding of platelet application. Firstly, for patients with thrombocytopenia caused by myelosuppression, ensuring longer platelet survival in blood circulation is crucial, making room temperature-stored platelets (RTPs) the optimal choice. Secondly, for patients with war wounds, trauma, and surgical massive bleeding where bone marrow inhibition is not a concern but coagulopathy poses a major problem \u003csup\u003e17\u0026ndash;19\u003c/sup\u003e, rapid hemostasis becomes paramount. Cold-stored platelets (CSPs) offer strong hemostatic properties and facilitate thrombosis and clot formation \u003csup\u003e20\u0026ndash;21\u003c/sup\u003e; thus timely infusion of CSPs can be considered for such patients.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo evaluate the efficacy of CSPs compared to RTPs after platelet transfusion over a period of 72 hours, we conducted longitudinal data analysis encompassing five observation periods. Key indicators, including drainage flows, platelet counts, and TEG-MA measurements, were consistently monitored. Analysis using generalized estimation equations revealed no statistically significant differences in key evaluation indicators between the two groups from post-transfusion up to 72 hours later. However, during the first 12 hours and from hour 13 to hour 24 after platelet transfusion, the CSPs group exhibited lower platelet counts compared to the RSP group due to potentially more active aggregation and hemostasis upon entry into the body. Nevertheless, no significant differences were detected in segmental drainage flow rates or MA values between both groups during these time intervals, thereby validating the excellent immediate hemostatic efficacy attributed to the use of CSP. Supporting evidence is derived from clinical trials conducted by Strandenes G et al., wherein their studies in 2016 and 2020 respectively demonstrated a superior aggregation response following transfusion using cold-stored platelets compared to room temperature stored platelets (RTPs) in cardiac surgery patients\u003csup\u003e12\u0026ndash;13,22\u003c/sup\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn our study, all 31 cases in the CSPs group achieved complete cure or improvement, while 27 cases in the RTPs group showed effectiveness (one case resulted in mortality and three cases did not recover), with no statistically significant difference observed. However, further clinical case verification is required to determine whether CSPs can effectively reduce mortality caused by extensive surgical bleeding. Stratified analysis of conditions and comparison of secondary outcomes between the two groups revealed consistent trends in evaluating traumatic bleeding, postpartum bleeding, and surgery-related bleeding. The patient population receiving RTPs demonstrated a higher risk profile indicating increased susceptibility to mortality. Although no differences were observed in complications, it should be noted that the limited sample size of this study prevents definitive conclusions regarding similarity in risk profiles between CSPs and RTPs.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur study showed that there were 2 cases of intermuscular venous calf thrombosis in each of the trauma bleeding patients in the CSPs and RTPs group. These 4 patients had relatively serious multiple systemic injuries, where the lower extremity intermuscular venous thrombosis was related to their conditions. There were no blood transfusion reactions such as hemolysis, fever, allergy, cardiac overload or transfusion-related lung injury after platelet transfusion. Vital signs were detected within 72 hours after platelet transfusion between the two groups. Liver function indicators and renal function indicators were compared and evaluated before and after discharge, and there were no significant differences. From these indicators, we believe that cold storage of platelets is safe for clinical use. Our results were consistent with the conclusions of Strandenes\u003csup\u003e13\u003c/sup\u003e, Warner, M.A\u003csup\u003e23\u003c/sup\u003e and Leeper C.M\u003csup\u003e24\u003c/sup\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe platelets used in this study were autologous plasma platelets (AS), which were stored at room temperature (22℃) for 18\u0026ndash;24 hours and then transferred to cold storage. The Getz TM\u003csup\u003e25\u003c/sup\u003e study suggested that CSP clumping is caused by the binding of fibrinogen to activated PLT, and this process can be mitigated by the use of PLT additive solution (PAS). The Wagner\u003csup\u003e26\u003c/sup\u003e study found that platelets stored at room temperature for 8 hours at 20\u0026ndash;24℃ before storage at 1\u0026ndash;6℃ showed less aggregation responses to collagen, ADP and TRAP than platelets stored at room temperature for 1\u0026ndash;2 hours before refrigeration. The Mayo Clinic Donation Center optimized its platelet inventory in April 2020 to allow pathogen-treated RTPs normally stored at five days to be refrigerated for up to nine days\u003csup\u003e23\u003c/sup\u003e.Wood et al.\u003csup\u003e27\u003c/sup\u003e extended the shelf life of platelets when they were routinely stored until near expiration (4 days) and then transferred to cold storage. The results showed that the metabolism and activation of delayed cold platelets was similar to that of cold platelets. Therefore, delayed-cold storage method may also serve as a viable alternative for applications aimed at maximizing platelet functionality.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, CSPs were clinically applied for the first time in China. No significant difference was observed in the therapeutic efficacy between CSPs and RTP. There were no disparities found in primary efficacy indicators, secondary efficacy indicators, and safety evaluation indicators between the two groups. Considering the substantial advantages of extended storage time offered by CSPs, they exhibit promising prospects for clinical applications.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec27\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLimitations\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present study was conducted at a single center and had a limited sample size.
