Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy of plasma exchange in the treatment of patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and to analyze the factors influencing the efficacy of plasma exchange in the treatment of ITP.
METHODS:The medical records of 39 ITP patients who were treated effectively by plasma exchange in Huai'an First People's Hospital from January 2013 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were set as the effective group. In addition, the medical records of 39 ITP patients who were treated ineffective by plasma exchange during the same period in our hospital were collected, and they were set as the ineffective group. The general data such as sex and age of patients and laboratory indicators on admission were collected and recorded. The possible influencing factors were included, and Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the influencing factors of efficacy of plasma exchange in the treatment of ITP.
RESULTS:The serum levels of IL-6, IL-18 and B lymphocyte activating factor (BAFF) on admission in the ineffective group were significantly higher than those in the effective group, and the proportions of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and splenomegaly were significantly higher than those in the effective group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significantly difference in sex, age and other data between the two groups (P>0.05). After single factor analysis, multiple regression model was established, which showed that splenomegaly, HP infection and the over expression of serum IL-6, IL-18 and BAFF on admission might be the influencing factors of ineffective treatment of ITP by plasma exchange (OR>1, P<0.05).
CONCLUSION:The over expression of serum IL-6, IL-18, BAFF, splenomegaly and HP infection on admission may be the influencing factors resulting in the ineffective treatment of plasma exchange in ITP.
