Treatment Strategies and Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Immune Thrombocytopenia Undergoing Surgical Procedures: A Multicenter Study
In this study of 61 surgeries, 52% of pediatric patients with ITP were given perioperative ITP-directed treatments. Treatment was prescribed for almost half of the patients with an initial platelet count ≥50×10<sup>9</sup>/L. Perioperative bleeding risk appears to be low in pediatric ITP under current management practices.
