The Bleeding Risk and Natural History of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Patients With Persistent Low Platelet Counts

Abstract

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with persistent low platelet counts carries a grave prognosis. Therefore, an active therapeutic approach in the clinical management of affected patients should be considered. In view of the significant potential implications of the model results, we call for initiating a well-designed prospective inception cohort study of patients with ITP.
