Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Pediatric Patients With Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura in King Abdulaziz Medical City and King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital: A 10-Year Study

“…On the other hand, Glanz et al in Colorado [17] -similar to this study -showed an equal distribution of genders. As for the age distribution, this study was similar to those in Iraq, Qatar, and King Khalid University Hospital [11][12][13].…”

“…This study differed from other studies in gender distribution. Locally and regionally, it showed an almost equal distribution of genders in contrast to male predominance in a study by Al-Mulla et al in Qatar (62% male) [12] and in a study by Al Fawaz in King Khalid University Hospital (61% male) [13], which contrasts to the female predominance seen in Abha (41% male) [14]. Internationally, there was male predominance in a study by Grainger et al in UK hospitals (57% male) [15], while Zeller et al in Norway [16] showed female predominance (43% male).…”

“…Nearly 75% of patients had a platelet count under 20×10 9 /L, which is slightly less than that in an international study by Kühne et al [2], Iraq's study [11] and Abha's [14], where it was around 80%. On the other hand, only 68% of patients from the study by Al-Mulla et al in Qatar [12] had a below 20×10 9 /L count. Additionally, the most common presentation in the patients was purpura or petechia followed by epistaxis, which goes along with studies by Kühne et al internationally [2], Al-Zuhairy in Iraq [11], Al-Mulla et al in Qatar [12], and Al Fawaz in King Khalid University Hospital [13].…”

“…There is a paucity of recent data on ITP in children in Saudi Arabia, which this research aimed to compensate for [12]. Thus, all pediatric ITP patients received in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in the last 10 years were reviewed while comparing KAMC experience and other tertiary hospitals worldwide.…”

Hematoma subdural bilateral frontotemporal em PTI: relato de caso

“…São de extrema importância também a confirmação da ausência de outras condições clínicas que causem trombocitopenia, como infecções, doenças autoimunes, neoplasias e efeito adverso de medicamentos. Não existe exame laboratorial para o diagnóstico 2,3,4,5,6 . O tratamento difere de acordo com a idade e gravidade do paciente, sendo que o prognóstico de PTI em adultos é muito distinto do infantil e tende a forma crônica na maioria dos casos.…”
