Introduction:
Thrombo-haemorrhagic complications contribute to both morbidity and mortality in patients with essential thrombocythaemia.
Aim:
The aim of the authors was to estimate the incidence of thrombotic events and to examine the clinical utility of IPSET thrombosis risk evaluation score against conventional two-categorical (low and high) risk assessment.
Method:
A retrospective analysis was carried out on 155 patients with essential thrombocythaemia (106 females; median age, 61 years) in a period between 1999 and 2014.
Results:
The analysis revealed 55 (35.5%) major thrombotic events before and 25 (16.1%) major thrombotic complications after establishment of the haematologic diagnosis. Significant differences were observed in thrombosis-free survival between the different IPSET groups (p = 0.002).
Conclusions:
The IPSET model was first examined in this cohort of patients with essential thrombocythaemia diagnosed in a single Hungarian haematologic centre. The results suggest that this score may provide more information than the conventional thrombosis risk assessment.
