Pregnancy‐onset ITP was associated with a higher complication rate (28.5%) compared to pre‐pregnancy ITP (23.2%) with a P value of 0.08 which did not reach statistical significance but rather a trend towards significance if the power of the study was larger. 5 Strengths and Limitations Our study presents several notable strengths, including being one of the largest cohorts examining ITP in pregnancy in Qatar, a country with a young, multiethnic population and access to free maternal healthcare, with comprehensive representation of Middle Eastern demographics and detailed documentation of platelet counts throughout pregnancy and postpartum period.
