Commentary
The IPSET-thrombosis model derives from multivariate analysis of 891 patients diagnosed with ET by WHO criteria within the preceding year, at one of seven centers. Most high-risk patients received cytoreductive therapy with hydroxyurea, anagrelide or busulfan, while most low-risk patients did not. Most patients (68%) received low-dose aspirin. The outcome variable was major thrombosis, defined as any of: venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, or peripheral arterial thrombosis. The model was validated in an external cohort of 329 patients.1
