Examining The Frequency Of Phlebotomy In Patients With Polycythemia Vera (Pv) In The United States: An Analysis Of Data From The Reveal Study

Background:Phlebotomy is integral to the clinical management of patients with PV; however, it may be inconvenient and/or poorly tolerated. Frequent and long-term phlebotomies may cause iron deficiency, increased symptom burden, and lost productivity. This analysis from the Prospective Observational Study of Patients With PV in US Clinical Practices (REVEAL) describes the patient-reported burden of phlebotomies at enrollment and ≤6 months post-enrollment.
