Although our results are generally in line with the published data, some divergence from previous results has been observed with respect to risk factors for thrombotic events. Absence of a correlation between leukocytosis and thrombosis may be related with the significant decline in white blood cells after treatment. Also, a significant reduction in platelet counts occurring in association with treatment is linked with a lowered incidence of thrombosis. Janus Kinase 2-positive patients had a similar thrombosis frequency with that reported in the literature.
