Rate of bleeding-related episodes in elderly patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia: a retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSION: Elderly ITP patients experienced about two BREs per patient-year after ITP onset. Most patients experienced at least one BRE. These real-world results demonstrate the importance of examining both bleeding and use of rescue or emergency ITP therapy in the assessment of disease burden in elderly patients with ITP.
