Background: To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy, drug safety and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Romiplostim in adult and child immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Cohrane library databases were searched for all randomized controlled trials published until 2022, and the Review Manager 5.3 was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 9 randomized controlled trials were included in this study. The results of meta-analysis showed that the total platelet response rate and long-term platelet response rate in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the side effects, serious side effects, bleeding events and serious bleeding events between 2 groups (P>0.05). Compared with control group, the HRQoL in ITP adults and children, and parents of ITP children had no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion: Romiplostim has a certain clinical efficacy in ITP adults and children, and relatively small adverse drug reactions. The improvement of Romiplostim on HRQoL in ITP adults and children is not clear.
