Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of thrombosis in primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2 086 patients with ITP admitted from January 2001 to December 2020 was performed. Statistical methods were then used as a means of comparing the differences between patients with thrombosis and those without. Results: Thrombosis occurred in a total of 32 patients(1.5%), among whom we found high proportions old age, obesity, pregnancy, cardiac and/or renal insufficiency, and hypoproteinemia(P=0.034, 0.024, 0.04, 0.032, 0.028). The proportion of patients with refractory/relapsed ITP who were administered TPO and/or eltrombopag was found to be relatively high(P=0.030, 0.039, 0.046). No difference was observed in other factors such as gender, strict bed rest, or IV immunoglobulin therapy(P=0.175, 0.335, 0.594). In addition, it was discovered that pregnancy was more likely to lead to the development of venous thrombosis than arterial thrombosis(P=0.030). Conclusion: ITP is a risk factor for thrombosis, which is related to the clinical characteristics of patients and their treatment. |
