Pf691 Splenectomy in Immune Thrombocytopenia: Do Changing Treatment Patterns for Itp Affect Outcomes? Data From the Uk Itp Registry

Abstract: Background:The advent of medical alternatives to splenectomy, particularly the thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO‐RA) has seen reduction in its use for ITP. It is now generally reserved in the UK for patients who fail multiple lines of therapy.Aims:We aimed to evaluate practices around splenectomy in the UK and long term response rates using data from the UK ITP registry, a large national database of primary ITP cases set up in 2007.Methods:We analysed all splenectomy cases from the UK ITP registry entered … Show more

“…Splenectomy, a treatment of choice for many years for patients failing other therapies, has fallen out of favor due to postsplenectomy sequelae, a heightened risk of infection and venous thromboembolism. 19,20 inhibitors undergoing clinical trials. 3,21 However, many of the newer therapies for ITP are high cost (TPO-RA and syk inhibitors) therefore analysis of current incidence rates, influences on incidence and treatment utilization is critical to understanding the potential for resource utilization.…”

“…Intravenous immunoglobulin does not produce sustained responses in ITP and is reserved for rescue treatment. Splenectomy, a treatment of choice for many years for patients failing other therapies, has fallen out of favor due to post‐splenectomy sequelae, a heightened risk of infection and venous thromboembolism 19,20 . Medical therapy for ITP, has evolved over the last two decades.…”

“…The thirty-day mortality in our cohort exceeded previously reported rates for splenectomy in this setting. Retrospective data for splenectomy for various indications demonstrated overall mortality rates from 0-3.5% [30][31][32]. The two patients who died within thirty days of surgery both died of pulmonary emboli.…”

“…Identifying consistent markers to predict splenectomy outcomes has proven challenging due to variability in preoperative practices [16][17][18]25,30,37]. Given inconsistency across studies, preoperative evaluation remains at the discretion of the referring provider, with substantial variations in practice [38].…”
