ITP Natural History Study Patient Registry

Have you or your child ever experienced a nosebleed, blood blisters in the mouth, easy bruising, petechiae, or other bleeding due to your ITP? Been hospitalized because of bleeding or a low platelet count? If so, we want to hear from you!

Complete PDSA’s “Bleeding and Hospitalization in ITP” survey to help us better understand how and why bleeding happens, who gets hospitalized, how often and for how long.

To get started, join the ITP Registry. If you already have an account, we hope you will return to the ITP Registry to provide additional insight via our latest updates and new questionnaires. Your answers to these questions and others in the survey can advance our understanding of the ITP patient journey and contribute to research and therapy development.

Complete our “Bleeding and Hospitalization in ITP” Patient Registry survey today and unlock the mysteries of ITP!

The ITP Natural History Study Registry is an international patient-consented registry of adults and children with ITP. The registry aims to collect, store and retrieve data on the natural progression of ITP, enabling collection of data on diagnosis and treatment, management of care, quality of life, clinician reporting, and characterization of the ITP population as a whole. The registry is administered by PDSA and overseen by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and a committee of leading hematologists, ITP patients, and caregivers. Registry questionnaires were built from common data element standards:

  1. Participant Profile

    Country, race, insurance, education, employment
  2. Medical and Diagnostic Data

    Diagnostic tests, clinical visits, family history, and pregnancy/childbirth
  3. Treatment and Review of Systems

    Treatments used (past and current), diet, surgeries, and review of systems
  4. Quality of Life

    Participant level of anxiety, depression, sleep, pain, fatigue, and physical health
  5. COVID-19 & ITP (Viral infection, Vaccinations, and Boosters)

    Experience with SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus), COVID-19 vaccinations, and boosters
  6. Bleeding & Hospitalization Survey

    Experience with bleeding events and hospitalizations during ITP journey
  7. Medical & Genetics Report Survey

    Experience with genetic testing and any unusual laboratory results related to ITP
