About The Study: In this economic evaluation, cryopreserved platelets were dominated by liquid-stored platelets for managing bleeding in cardiac surgery. Further research is needed to assess the potential economic benefits of cryopreserved platelets in broader populations, particularly in regional and remote hospitals where platelet availability is limited.
