Cognitive Status, Fatigue and Inflammation in Patients With Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Study Summary

This is a multi-center, hospital based, cross-sectional study based on data from patient medical records, including laboratory results. The study will include adult patients with chronic (\> 1 year duration) primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) only. Patients will be identified based on a laboratory confirmed diagnosis of ITP in the medical records, where there is also a physician-confirmed diagnosis of primary ITP. If patients consent to take part in the study, a routine clinical visit will also serve as the study visit. Patients who do not have a routine visit scheduled during the study period but who would otherwise be eligible may be contacted by the site. In such cases, clinicians may use their discretion to schedule a visit specifically for study purposes. All study participants will have a routine blood test as part of their standard clinical care at the study visit, and this same procedure will be used to collect supplementary blood samples to assess a variety of biomarkers. Data will be collected using a combination of chart review, clinical outcome assessment administration, and laboratory results through blood tests.

Primary Outcome

Impaired cognitive status is defined as a CBB (CogState Brief Battery) z-score of -1 or less on at least one of 2 composite domains (attention/psychomotor composite and memory/learning composite domains). The CBB is a computerized outcome measure of cognitive function in human subjects aged 6 to 99 years and has been previously used in ITP. The CBB test for psychomotor function, attention, visual learning and working memory.
