    The study investigates platelet parameters at diagnosis to predict chronicity risk in pediatric patients with immune thrombocytopenia.

  • 2

    Children with chronic immune thrombocytopenia were older, had lower platelet counts, and higher immature platelet fractions at diagnosis.

  • 3

    Multivariate analysis identified age, platelet count, and immature platelet fraction as independent risk factors for chronic disease progression.

  • 4

    A combined predictive model using these factors showed superior performance compared to single indicators in forecasting chronicity.

  • 5

    The developed nomogram integrating key parameters demonstrates good predictive accuracy and potential for clinical application.
