Article Synopsis
- Patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) face a paradox where, despite a tendency to bleed, they may also experience a higher risk of both arterial and venous thrombosis, particularly as they age or have cardiovascular risk factors.

- It highlights the need for careful risk assessment, especially with second-line therapies like splenectomy and TPO-RAs that may increase thrombotic risk, and suggests alternative treatments like rituximab and fostamatinib that do not elevate this risk.
Objective: To address challenges in large-scale electronic health record (EHR) data exchange, we sought to develop, deploy, and test an open source, cloud-hosted app "listener" that accesses standardized data across the SMART/HL7 Bulk FHIR Access application programming interface (API).
Methods: We advance a model for scalable, federated, data sharing and learning. Cumulus software is designed to address key technology and policy desiderata including local utility, control, and administrative simplicity as well as privacy preservation during robust data sharing, and artificial intelligence (AI) for processing unstructured text.
