Common Themes and Uncertainties in Management of Secondary Polycythaemia: An International Clinician Survey of Practice
Our survey showed considerable variability in venesection practice for patients with secondary or idiopathic polycythaemia, probably reflecting the paucity of the evidence base. There was widespread support for a trial of venesection vs observation in secondary polycythaemia and this survey has helped to define the threshold Hct at which clinical equipoise exists.
