This is an European multicenter observational study that will include around 550 MPN patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19 will be followed for at least one month. Detailed information on the clinical characteristics of these patients and their disease outcomes will be retrospectively and prospectively collected in a specific eCRF, including MPN characteristics, treatment and comorbidities pre-Covid-19, time of Covid-19 diagnosis, drugs/device used for the treatment of Covid-19, any change in MPN therapy, antithrombotic prophylaxis employed during the period of infection and - for hospitalised patients only - key blood and laboratory parameters. A particular focus will be on exploring final outcomes for patients in this study, most notably the incidence of fatal and non-fatal thrombotic events. Statistical analyses will also be performed looking for any independent factors that can significantly predict patient outcomes after Covid-19 diagnosis.
Ultimately, this project will provide important insights into disease severity and progression in patients with MPN and Covid-19 and uncover the key clinical factors which drive outcomes and mortality. Results may help clinicians better understand how patient characteristics and management decisions can impact on disease trajectory when MPN and Covid-19 collide.
