Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint will be to validate the specificity of 100% for peripheral thrombocytopenia of an IPF cut-off value of 13% or, if the specificity is not 100%, establishment of a novel cut-off value at which the specificity is 100%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints will be the correlation between IPF and TPO and establishment of the added value of TPO in the diagnosis of isolated thrombocytopenias with an IPF between the lower and upper cut-off. | — |
