Popis: Although several spontaneous case reports on the occurrence of thrombocytopenia in patients treated with human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) preparations have been accumulated, its actual causality is still unclear. To investigate the association between G-CSF preparations (filgrastim, nartograstim, lenograstim, and pegfilgrastim) available in Japan and thrombocytopenia in patients treated with antineoplastic agents, a nested case-control study was conducted using the Medical Information Database NETwork (MID-NET®) with the cohort of the Japanese population taking antineoplastic agents between 2009 and 2018. A case of thrombocytopenia was defined as a patient who had decreased platelet counts (
