Abstract

Treatment of newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is controversial and guidelines vary internationally. At the Paediatric Department, Aalborg Hospital, a "watchful waiting" approach was adopted in the early 2000s. We aimed to investigate whether this change in strategy had any adverse effects on the subsequent clinical outcomes.
