Article Synopsis
- - Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare condition without established treatment guidelines, prompting a survey of 64 Italian clinicians involved in managing autoimmune cytopenias to assess disease awareness and management practices.
- - The survey revealed that the combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is more prevalent than the combination involving neutropenia, with many patients having associated conditions like lymphoproliferative syndromes or autoimmune diseases.
- - There was a notable variation in diagnostic test agreement among clinicians, indicating that while essential tests like blood counts were universally recognized, others like anti-platelet tests showed much less consensus; this highlights a need for more standardized treatment approaches for
Evans syndrome is a rare disease marked by a severe clinical course, high relapse rate, infectious and thrombotic complications, and sometimes fatal outcome. Management is highly heterogeneous. There are several case reports but few large retrospective studies and no prospective or randomised trials.

- Anemia, whether existing before hospitalization or developed during the hospital stay, impacts mortality rates in patients with acute coronary syndromes, but its role remains ambiguous.
- A study conducted at Niguarda Hospital analyzed 1294 patients, categorizing them into three groups: those with pre-existing anemia, those who developed anemia during their stay, and those who maintained normal hemoglobin levels.
- Findings indicated that while pre-existing anemia was linked to a higher risk of death, hospital-acquired anemia did not significantly increase long-term mortality risk, suggesting different implications for patient health management.
