Antibodies against GPIIb-IIIa activation epitope (PAC1), P-selectin (CD62P) and lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 3 (LAMP3; CD63) were used as platelet activation markers. Sixty-six patients referred to the coagulation unit for bleeding symptoms were included in this single-center observational study. Platelet activation was determined by PACT and LTA. The results of both methods were correlated to BAT score.<h4>Results</h4>A two-by-two analysis using Cohen's kappa analysis gave moderate agreement between LTA and PACT (82%, kappa = 0.57), when PACT analysis with ADP and CRP-XL was compared to LTA. Using LTA as reference method, positive predictive value was 70% and negative predictive value was 87%. A substantial number of patients had high BAT score and normal LTA and PACT results. Patients with abnormal LTA or PACT results had higher BAT score than patients with normal results, but the difference was not significant.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The performance in microtiter plates simplified the PACT method and enabled analysis of more patients at the same time. Our results indicate that with modification of the current PACT assay, a higher negative predictive value can be obtained. Furthermore, with comparable result to LTA the PACT could be used as a screening assay for inherited platelet disorders.https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0211130 |
