Longitudinal Cohort Study on Immune Thrombocytopenia Complicated With Acute Ischemic Stroke

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired bleeding disorder mediated by immune-related platelet destruction and impaired platelet production. Immune thrombocytopenia may increase the risk of cerebral infarction and represents a relatively uncommon etiology of acute ischemic stroke. This disease is associated with high disability and mortality rates, poses significant therapeutic challenges, and constitutes a serious threat to human health. Therefore, research on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of ITP combined with acute ischemic stroke is of great significance for improving patients' quality of life and survival outcomes. However, most current hematologic cohort studies are based on single-center or limited multicenter sample sizes, lacking comprehensive and large-scale prospective cohort studies. Our center plans to conduct a large-sample, combined retrospective and prospective longitudinal cohort study. This study will register patients' basic information and diagnosis, follow up with patients through questionnaires, telephone calls, video consultations, online platforms, and in-person visits to record treatment and comorbidity data, collect prognostic information, and retrieve hospitalization and outpatient costs through medical record systems. The study aims to provide comprehensive data on the incidence, treatment, prognosis, and healthcare costs of ITP patients with acute ischemic stroke in China.
