Would add “syndrome” behind “antiphospholipid” for AMBOSS addon recognition
Amazing, super support

This was originally Josh’s suggestion that I rejected. Chronic ITP definition requires “isolated thrombocytopenia” because without it the definition provided is more aligned with “chronic thrombocytopenia.”

The AMBOSS text cited is exactly the problem I’m talking about. Having platelet levels below 100,000 for a year is NOT chronic ITP. It is chronic thrombocytopenia. Patients with liver disease, genetic thrombocytopenias like Wiskott-Aldrich, DiGeorge, general forms of immunosuppression might meet this definition without having ITP. ITP is ISOLATED thrombocytopenia WITH NO IDENTIFIED PRECIPITATING CAUSE (primary) or one of several specific causes (secondary).
This card therefore “defines” ITP without mentioning the isolated part of the thrombocytopenia or the qualification about the underlying cause, both of which are pretty relevant (per AMBOSS).
