Factors for a diagnostic algorithm of pediatric ITP or non-IT
| Structure of the algorithm may be based on: . | Red flags defined as: . |
|---|---|
| Occurrence or existence of risk factors (red flags) for secondary ITP (see the algorithm given in Figure 3) | Female |
| Age >10 y | |
| Moderate thrombocytopenia >20 × 109/L | |
| Positive family history | |
| Comorbidities | |
| Nonresponse to first-line treatment | |
| Duration of the disease and/or before treatment escalation | |
| Response to treatment | |
| Demographic characteristics, epidemiology, and geography | |
| Needs of the patients, QoL | |
| Costs, availability of tests, research questions | |
| No algorithm but personalized, individual diagnostics |
