Abstract

New insights into immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) epidemiology in adult patients highlight three main outcomes of morbidity and mortality: bleeding, infection and thrombosis. This review depicts current evidence about incidence and risk factors of bleeding, infection and thrombosis as well as predictors of chronicity, and shows how this assessment impacts the choice of ITP second-line treatment at the individual-level basis.

Keywords: Clinical practice; Epidemiology; Epidémiologie; Immune thrombocytopenia; Pratique clinique; Thrombopénie immunologique.
