A questionnaire form was prepared by the Turkish Pediatric Hematology Society- Subcommittee of Hemostasis, Thrombosis and Hemophilia to determine the current approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood ITP in our country. Our aim was to share the results of this study, and to do new, national, multicenter prospective studies.

This form, which consists of twenty questions with multiple choices, but a brief explanation is requested when there is a different approach other than the options given, was sent to all pediatric hematologists via e-mail.

The response was obtained from 55 hematologists experienced in ITP from 47 centers in total. Due to space constraints, this summary could not present the survey questions and answers.

In conclusion, the approaches for diagnosis and management of childhood ITP differ between centers.
