Splenectomy is an effective treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The effect of COVID-19 vaccination on splenectomized patients with ITP during the COVID-19 pandemic has not been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on clinical outcomes in these patients. This was a longitudinal study of splenectomized patients with ITP. A total of 191 splenectomized patients were included in this study. After a median follow-up of 114 months, 146 (76.4%) patients had a sustained response to splenectomy. During COVID-19 infection, vaccinated patients showed a lower risk of severe infections (odds ratio [OR], 0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05-0.36; p < 0.001), hospitalization (OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.04-0.48; p = 0.002), and ITP exacerbation (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04-0.67; p = 0.012). These findings indicate that COVID-19 vaccination plays a protective role in splenectomized patients with ITP.
脾切除术是治疗免疫性血小板减少症 (ITP) 的有效方法。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,COVID-19 疫苗接种对接受脾切除术的 ITP 患者的影响尚未报道。因此,本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 疫苗接种对这些患者临床结局的影响。这是一项对接受脾切除术的 ITP 患者进行的纵向研究。共有 191 例接受脾切除术的患者纳入本研究。在中位数为 114 个月的随访后,146 例(76.4%)患者对脾切除术有持续反应。在 COVID-19 感染期间,接种疫苗的患者发生严重感染的风险较低(比值比 [OR],0.13;95%置信区间 [CI]:0.05-0.36;p<0.001)、住院(OR,0.13;95% CI,0.04-0.48;p=0.002)和 ITP 加重(OR,0.16;95% CI,0.04-0.67;p=0.012)的风险较低。这些发现表明 COVID-19 疫苗接种在接受脾切除术的 ITP 患者中发挥保护作用。
