Attempts to define pre\u2010clinical predictors of platelet response to splenectomy are inconsistent. Based on international studies defining the likelihood of platelet response using platelet sequestration, patients with relapsed\/refractory ITP being considered for splenectomy at a regional Australian hospital were assessed with <jats:sup>111<\/jats:sup>indium\u2010labelled autologous platelet sequestration (ILAPS) studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>To audit the use of ILAPS in an Australian setting and define its role in predicting response to splenectomy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective review of all patients referred for an ILAPS study at a regional hospital was performed. Results for each patient were expressed as an \u2018R\u2019 value (spleen\/ liver uptake ratio) to quantify the platelet sequestration pattern and outcome post\u2010splenectomy, based on platelet counts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 45 patients was identified: 13 underwent splenectomy and 32 were medically managed. Patients with favourable ILAPS scans (pure or predominant splenic sequestration) demonstrated a superior response post\u2010splenectomy (100% overall response rate (ORR); 83.5% complete remission (CR)) compared with those with unfavourable ILAPS scans (mixed or pure hepatic sequestration) (71.4% ORR; 57.1% CR) over 12 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The use of ILAPS in the Australian setting is feasible and this experience confirms larger international studies demonstrating its utility as a predictor of response to splenectomy in ITP. An unfavourable ILAPS scan could be considered a negative predictor of response prompting consideration for other emerging ITP treatments such as thrombopoietin\u2010receptor agonists or B\u2010cell
