Living with ITP can be frightening for patients and their families and these worries have been worsened in the setting of COVID19. One of the factors that makes ITP so challenging is that it is very hard to predict if and when bleeding may occur, and if bleeding might be severe, even life-threatening. This uncertainty makes it difficult to decide which medication to select, and when and how to deploy it to treat patients. The following two articles discuss risk factors that could help in predicting the development of severe bleeds.
