Background and Objectives: Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is a new hematologic parameter that reflects the rate of thrombopoiesis. It has been suggested to be a predictor of platelet recovery in patients with thrombocytopenia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between IPF and platelet count among pediatric patients with thrombocytopenia due to dengue fever. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of 77 thrombocytopenic pediatric dengue fever patients. IPF was included in the daily complete blood count extraction. Baseline and daily IPF, platelet count, hematocrit, white blood cell count and presence of fever were recorded according to day of illness. The pattern of IPF in relation to the pattern of platelet count was analyzed. The proportion of patients showing platelet recovery at different time points was also determined. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was done to determine an IPF cut-off value predictive of platelet recovery within 24 hours. Results: The IPF increased as the platelet count decreased. The highest increase in IPF coincided with the trough of platelet count. Eighty -seven percent of the patients showed platelet recovery after the increasing trend of IPF, 87% after the peak value and 95% after the decreasing trend. An IPF value of more than 6.6% was found to be predictive of platelet recovery within 24 hours, with a sensitivity of 45% and specificity of 70%. Conclusion There was an observed inverse relationship between IPF and platelet count but with a statistically weak correlation. The decreasing trend of IPF can be a possible good predictor of an increasing trend in platelet count. These findings suggest a possible role of IPF as an additional parameter to predict platelet recovery in pediatric dengue fever patients.
