Impact of pneumatic tube vs. bicycle courier transport on platelet aggregation: influence of sex and diabetes
PT transport resulted in minor increases in platelet aggregation compared with BC transport, which are unlikely to be clinically relevant for the majority of patients but may influence interpretation in selected subgroups, particularly in individuals with heightened platelet reactivity or borderline test results. The observed transport-related differences in female patients and individuals with diabetes suggest increased platelet mechanosensitivity in these groups and warrant confirmation in larger, dedicated studies.
