This study developed a nomogram prediction model for thrombosis in ITP patients based on age, ITP duration >1 year, comorbid coronary heart disease, and PLT, which can help identify high-risk patients.
Key Findings
Results
The overall incidence of thrombosis among hospitalized ITP patients was 12.0%.
334 ITP patients hospitalized at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
40 of 334 patients (12.0%) developed thrombosis, including 18 males and 22 females.
Arterial thrombosis occurred in 9.58% (32/334) of patients.
Venous thrombosis occurred in 1.80% (6/334) of patients.
Mixed thrombosis occurred in 0.60% (2/334) of patients.
Results
Univariate analysis identified age, ITP duration >1 year, comorbid hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and platelet count (PLT) as risk factors for thrombosis in ITP patients.
All identified univariate risk factors were statistically significant (all P<0.05).
Six factors were identified: age, ITP duration >1 year, comorbid hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and PLT.
Analysis was performed using logistic regression on retrospectively collected clinical data.
Results
Multivariate analysis identified age, ITP duration >1 year, comorbid coronary heart disease, and PLT as independent risk factors for thrombosis.
All four independent risk factors were statistically significant (all P<0.05).
Comorbid hypertension and diabetes, significant on univariate analysis, were not retained as independent predictors in multivariate analysis.
Multivariate logistic regression was used to construct the prediction model.
Results
The nomogram prediction model demonstrated good discriminative ability with an AUC of 0.80.
The area under the ROC curve for the nomogram was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72–0.88).
The calibration curve showed good consistency between predicted and actual thrombosis rates.
The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed χ²=5.838, P=0.665, indicating good model fit.
The model was constructed using the four independent risk factors identified by multivariate analysis.
