Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of vaccine-associated immune thrombocytopenia(VA-ITP)based on the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS), and to provide a reference for vaccine safety monitoring, vaccination prevention, and clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Data from VAERS on all reported cases of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) after vaccination since the establishment of the database in 1990 to the data lock point of 7th November 2023 were analyzed retrospectively for information on such as sex, age, vaccine type, vaccine dose, and occurrence time of ITP.Results Among the 877 cases of VA-ITP, there were 868 cases of effective statistical vaccine types, involving 43 vaccine types. The top 10 vaccine types were COVID-19 vaccine(434 cases, 50%), MMR vaccine(82 cases, 9. 4%),HEPA vaccine(48 cases, 5. 5%), FLU3 vaccine(41 cases, 4. 7%), FLU4 vaccine(32 cases, 3. 7%), HPV4 vaccine(30 cases,3. 5%), DTAP vaccine(29 cases, 3. 3%), MMRV vaccine(32 cases, 3. 7%), VARZOS vaccine(17 cases, 2. 0%) and HPV9vaccine(13 cases, 1. 5%). Among the 877 reported cases, 843 cases with definite sex were counted, including 374 males and469 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1∶1. 25. The 377 cases of patients were under 18 years of age, accounting for about 44. 7% of the total, and there was significant difference in the composition ratio of sexes among patients with VA-ITP at different ages(χ~2= 10. 029, P < 0. 05). The incidence of ITP within 8 days after vaccination, with a total of 336 cases, was39.9%, and there was no significant difference in the occurrence time composition ratio of ITP between different sexes(χ~2=3. 296, P > 0. 05). The 54. 9% of ITP occurred after the first dose of vaccine, and there was no significant difference in the composition ratio of different vaccination doses between male and female recipients(χ~2= 5. 323, P > 0. 05), but there was significant difference in the composition ratio of vaccination doses among different age groups(χ~2= 30. 591, P < 0. 01).Conclusion By analyzing the summary data from VAERS database, the adverse reaction of VA-ITP was fully recognized.After clinical vaccination, attention should be focused on the platelet status of minors and the elderly, as well as those who were vaccinated within 8 days, and the continuous vaccine safety monitoring should be carried out, which is helpful to reduce the missed diagnosis of vaccine adverse events(AE) and improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment.
