Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 122-130, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...
