Abstract:
ObjectiveTo assess the peripheral blood cell parameters in differential diagnosis between immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and aplastic anemia (AA). Methods The clinical data of 36 ITP patients and 40 AA patients were retrospectively analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) was used to evaluate peripheral blood cell parameters in differential diagnosis between ITP and AA. Results There were significant differences in blood cell parameters between the two groups(P <0.05), except for red cell volume distribution width and mean platelet volume. ROC analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelet count in differential diagnosis of ITP and AA were 0.98, 0.95 and 0.65, respectively. The AUCs of most other blood cell parameters were greater than 0.8, except for red blood cells mean hemoglobin concentration and lymphocyte count. Conclusion The peripheral blood cell parameters provide a valuable reference in the differential diagnosis of ITP and AA and the traumatic examination might be avoid with its application.
