A–E. Mean scores of PedsQL™ proxy reports (A), PedsQL™ child self-reports (B), KIT parent self-reports (C), KIT proxy reports (D) and KIT child self-reports (E) at different time points during the study for patients who still had platelet counts below 100×109/L (persistent ITP) as well as for patients who recovered. For PedsQL™ scores, there was no significant difference in scores during follow-up. KIT parent self-report scores improved significantly in recovered patients as well as in patients with persistent ITP (recovered patients: P<0.001 for scores at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months compared to diagnosis and compared to 1 week; persistent ITP patients: P=0.03 for scores at 1 week compared to diagnosis, P=0.003 for scores at 1 month compared to those at diagnosis, P=0.01 for scores at 3 months compared to diagnosis and P<0.001 for scores at 6 months compared to diagnosis). KIT proxy report scores and KIT child self-report scores improved significantly, but only in patients who recovered (KIT proxy report: P<0.001 for scores at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months compared to diagnosis and compared to 1 week; KIT child self-report: P=0.003 for score at 1 month versus diagnosis; P<0.001 for 3 months and 6 months versus diagnosis).
