Distinct Mechanisms of Idiopathic and Thienopyridine-Assocaited Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura: Final Results from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Risk Factors for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (SERF-TTP) Study.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background : Many idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP) patients have severe deficiency of ADAMTS13, an enzyme that cleaves ultralarge von Willebrand multimers. We recently reported that thienopyridine-associated TTP is characterized by an immunologic pathway with severe ADAMTS13 deficiency and a non-immunologic pathway with higher ADAMTS13 activity levels. We now compare findings for idiopathic and thienopyridine-associated TTP patients. Methods : Clinical findings and laboratory findings were evaluated for 51 idiopathic and 39 thienopyridine-associated TTP. Results: Clinical findings were similar between idiopathic and thienopyridine-associated TTP for both severe ADAMTS13 deficient and non-deficient patients. Differences were noted in gender and age, relapse rates, and survival. Conclusion : Among TTP patients with ADAMTS13 deficiency, relapses are frequent in idiopathic TTP patients and Rituximab may be useful, while for thienopyridine-associated TTP patients spontaneous relapse are rare as long as no re-exposure occurs. Among ADAMTS13 non-deficient patients, survival is high following therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) for idiopathic patients but not for thienopyridine-associated TTP patients. Despite similarities, idiopathic and thienopyridine associated TTP probably have different initiating factors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
