Zusammenfassung
Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events, especially in polycythaemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythaemia (ET). Thrombosis of splanchnic vessels (SVT) may lead to portal hypertension and varices with increased bleeding risk rendering anticoagulation difficult. The identification of risk factors for SVT development might improve the management of MPN patients. In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors for SVT in MPN patients. Methods: The retrospectively analysed training cohort included 86 MPN patients which were referred to our hospita…
