Abstract

This thesis consists of studies aiming to answer questions regarding the pathophysiology (ie. the role of antiglycoprotein antibodies) and treatment options (such as romiplostim and eltrombopag) in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Furthermore, it gives examples of initiatives for implementation of PROMs in the ITP population.
