A brief glimpse of our work.

ITP (Immune thrombocytopenia) & MG (Myasthenia Gravis)

■ ITP (Immune thrombocytopenia) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakes the platelets as being foreign and destroys them.

　Prevalence: 3 per 100,000

■ MG (Myasthenia Gravis) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by an error in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. It occurs when normal communication between the nerve and muscle is interrupted at the neuromuscular junction.

　Prevalence: 23 per 100,000

■ Sample size

　ITP　– Physician n=6, Patient n=2
　MG　– Physician n=6, Patient/caregiver n=8

■ Methodology

　Patient/caregiver – All 75 min WATIS with online diary homework
　Physicians – All 60 min WATIS with patient chart research
