Published: April 1989

The determination of platelet regeneration half-time (PRT t1/2) by measuring malondialdehyde after intake of acetylsalicylic acid is a simple nonisotopic method for the estimation of platelet survival. There is no available information concerning the populational distribution of PRT t1/2. Consequently, there is controversy about the utilization of parametric or nonparametric statistical tests in studies of PRT. In the present study, we demonstrate the closeness of the fit of log PRT t1/2 to the normal (Gaussian) distribution.
