Abstract
BACKGROUND Reagent-supported thromboelastometry with the rotation thrombelastography (e.g. ROTEM) is a whole blood assay that evaluates the visco-elastic properties during blood clot formation and clot lysis. A hemostatic monitor capable of rapid and accurate detection of clinical coagulopathy within the resuscitation room could improve management of bleeding after trauma. OBJECTIVES The goals of this study were to establish whether ROTEM correlated with standard coagulation parameters to rapidly detect bleeding disorders and whether it can help to guide transfusion. METHODS Ninety trauma patients were included in the study. At admission, standard coagulation assays were performed and ROTEM parameters such as clot formation time (CFT) and clot amplitude (CA) were obtained at 15 min (CA(15)) with two activated tests (INTEM, EXTEM) and at 10 min (CA(10)) with a test analyzing specifically the fibrin component of coagulation (FIBTEM). RESULTS Trauma induced significant modifications of coagulation as assessed by standard assays and ROTEM. A significant correlation was found between prothrombin time (PT) and CA(15)-EXTEM (r = 0.66, P < 0.0001), between activated partial thromboplastin time and CFT-INTEM (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001), between fibrinogen level and CA(10)-FIBTEM (r = 0.85, P < 0.0001), and between platelet count and CA(15)-INTEM (r = 0.57, P < 0.0001). A cutoff value of CA(15)-EXTEM at 32 mm and CA(10)-FIBTEM at 5 mm presented a good sensitivity (87% and 91%) and specificity (100% and 85%) to detect a PT > 1.5 of control value and a fibrinogen less than 1 g L(-1), respectively. CONCLUSIONS ROTEM is a point-of-care device that rapidly detects systemic changes of in vivo coagulation in trauma patients, and it might be a helpful device in guiding transfusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Amongst trauma patients, early coagulopathy is common on hospital admission. No studies have evaluated the initial coagulation status in the pre-hospital setting. We hypothesise that the coagulopathic process begins at the time of trauma. We studied the on-scene and on hospital arrival coagulation profile of trauma patients. METHODS Prospective, observational study investigating the on-scene coagulation profile and its time course. We studied 45 patients at the scene of the accident, before fluid administration, and on hospital admission and classified their coagulopathy using the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis score during a 2-month period. Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen concentration, factors II, V and VII activity, fibrin degradation products, antithrombin and protein C activities, platelet counts and base deficit were measured. RESULTS The median injury severity score was 25 (13-35). On-scene, coagulation status was abnormal in 56% of patients. Protein C activities were decreased in the trauma-associated coagulopathy group (p=.02). Drops in protein C activities were associated with changes in activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, fibrinogen concentration, factor V and antithrombin activities. Only factor V levels decreased significantly with the severity of the trauma. On hospital admission, coagulation status was abnormal in 60% of patients. The on-scene coagulopathy was spontaneously normalised only in 2 patients whereas others had the same or a poorer coagulopathy status. All parameters of coagulation were significantly abnormal comparing to the on-scene phase. Decreases in protein C activities were related to the coagulation status (p<.0001) and changes in other coagulation parameters. Patients with base deficit ≤-6 mmol/L had changes in antithrombin, factor V and protein C activities but no significant coagulopathy. CONCLUSION Coagulopathy occurs very early after injury, before fluid administration, at the site of accident. Coagulation and fibrinolytic systems are activated early. The incidence of coagulopathy is high and its severity is related to the injury and not to hypoperfusion.

Abstract
In pregnant women with antecedents of autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP), no predictive factor for severe fetal thrombocytopenia has been identified. We evaluated the relationships between the course of the maternal disease before and during pregnancy and the risk of severe fetal thrombocytopenia, in 64 pregnant women with known chronic AITP antecedents, over a 12-year period. 28 pregnant women had undergone splenectomy before pregnancy and 17 experienced severe thrombocytopenia (< 50 x 10(9)/l) during pregnancy (monthly determination). Eight infants presented with severe thrombocytopenia at birth (12.5%), and four in the following days (6.25%). No severe haemorrhage was observed. Severe thrombocytopenia at birth was present in 57% (CI 95% 18-90%) of the infants born to mothers with severe pregnancy-associated thrombocytopenia and splenectomy antecedents, and in 0% (CI 95% 0-15%) of the infants born to mothers who presented none of these antecedents (P=0.001). In thrombocytopenic mothers the infant platelet counts at birth were positively correlated to the nadir maternal platelet count during the index pregnancy (r=0.42, P=0.0075). These results suggest that severe autoimmune disease is a risk factor for severe fetal thrombocytopenia, and that pregnant women with no antecedent of splenectomy nor severe thrombocytopenia during pregnancy have a very low risk of severe fetal thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS), a rare bleeding disorder, is not fully understood. Circulating antibodies to Von Willebrand factor (VWF) are found in patients with AVWS associated with lymphoproliferative disorders but these autoantibodies are difficult to detect with routine laboratory tests and neutralisation assays. We have developed a simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect serum antibody binding to VWF protein immobilized on polystyrene plates. Ten patients with AVWS were studied, eight of whom also had lymphoproliferative disorders. We found antibodies in eight patients; all of them were positive for IgG and five were also positive for IgM. This simple method appears to be more sensitive than functional assays, which failed to identify two of the patients who were positive with the ELISA. In conjunction with other tests, this ELISA method may be useful for demonstrating the immunological mechanism underlying some cases of AVWS. Such patients would qualify for intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, which can correct the clotting disorder.

Abstract
Antithrombin (AT) is a major physiological inhibitor of hemostasis. We report 22 novel antithrombin gene (SERPINC1) mutations associated with antithrombin deficiency in 17 French and five German families. They were all present at the heterozygous state. Nine missense mutations accounted for type I deficiency, defined by equally low antithrombin activity and antigen level. Most of them (7/9) affected highly conserved serpin residues and were associated with venous thrombosis occurring at a young age (before age 32). One splice site, one nonsense mutation, three small deletions and one insertion were also identified as a cause for type I antithrombin deficiency. Seven other missense mutations were identified in type II or unclassified AT deficiency; g.5270C>T (p.T147I, T115I) and g.5281A>T (p.I151F, I119F) change residues in the heparin binding region, g.13267C>G (p.P439A, P407A) and g.13271T>C (p.F440S, F408S) affect amino acids in the pleiotropic region, g.2372G>A (p.G25D, G-8D) changes a signal peptide amino acid, g.2456G>C (p.C53S, C21S) affects one of the three disulfide bonds of the protein, and g.7585A>T (p.M347K, M315K) changes a nonconserved residue on strand 2C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES on Willebrand's disease (VWD) is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder. Its severity can be classified on the basis of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels and according to the clinical relevance of bleeding episodes. However, patients with very low VWF activity may exhibit a mild bleeding tendency. The basis for this heterogeneous clinical expression of the deficit is still poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between thrombin generation and levels of factor VIII, VWF and clinical bleeding tendency. DESIGN AND METHODS Thrombin generation was measured in platelet-rich (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from 53 patients with VWD. RESULTS We observed a statistically significant higher risk of bleeding in patients with a low thrombin peak in PRP (OR=14.5; 95% CI=5-41.3). Similar results were found in PPP (OR=8.71; 95% CI=3.4-22.3). Two parameters of the thrombin generation curve, peak height and thrombin generation speed (slope), correlated significantly with VWF:RCo and FVIII levels both in PPP and in PRP. Regression analysis showed that thrombin generation was mainly dependent on plasma FVIII activity. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the thrombin generation test, in combination with routine FVIII and VWF measurements, could be of interest in the assessment of the individual bleeding risk in patients with VWD.

Abstract
Changes of the tissue factor (TF) pathway of blood coagulation have been described in diabetes and could be involved in its vascular complications. In order to evaluate the influence of the type of diabetes and of the obesity index and age on these changes, factor VII coagulant activity, factor VII antigen, activated factor VII, monocyte TF expression, and plasma Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) were examined in 18 Type 1 and 16 Type 2 diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic control subjects matched for age, sex, and obesity index (Types 1 and 2 controls, respectively). Multicomplicated patients were excluded. FVIIc, FVIIAg, and FVIIa were higher in Type 2 diabetic patients and controls than in Type 1 diabetic patients and controls (P< .03). However, FVIIc and FVIIAg were lower in diabetic patients than in their matched controls (P< .03). Monocyte expression of TF was not different between Types 1 and 2 diabetic patients and their matched controls except for LPS-stimulated monocyte TF activity which was lower in Type 2 diabetic patients than in Type 2 controls (P< .05). Plasma TFPI was slightly but significantly higher in Type 1 diabetic patients than in Type 1 controls (P= .01) and was correlated to glycemia. However, both in Type 2 diabetic patients and controls, TFPI was higher than in Type 1 controls and was correlated with BMI (P< .0003). These results indicate that in not multicomplicated patients, the increase of FVII and TFPI was highly dependent on obesity index and age rather than on diabetes by itself.

Abstract
Essentials Pregnancy is a risk factor for thrombosis. Management of thrombosis risk in pregnancy remains a challenge. Prophylaxis needs to be personalized. Our score may be a helpful tool for the management of pregnancies at high risk of thrombosis. SUMMARY Background Patients with thrombophilia and/or a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are at risk of thrombosis during pregnancy. A risk score for pregnancies with an increased risk of VTE was previously described by our group (Lyon VTE score). Objectives The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy and safety of our score-based prophylaxis strategy in 542 pregnancies managed between 2005 and 2015 in Lyon University Hospitals. Patients/Methods Of 445 patients included in the study, 36 had several pregnancies during the study period. Among these 445 patients, 279 had a personal history of VTE (62.7%), 299 patients (67.2%) had a thrombophilia marker, and 131 (29.4%) thrombophilic women had a personal history of VTE. During pregnancy, patients were assigned to one of three prophylaxis strategies according to the risk scoring system. Results In the antepartum period, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) prophylaxis was prescribed to 64.5% of patients at high risk of VTE. Among them, 34.4% were treated in the third trimester only, and 30.1% were treated throughout pregnancy. During the postpartum period, all patients received LMWH for at least 6 weeks. Two antepartum-related VTEs (0.37%; one with a score of < 3 and the other with a score of > 6) and four postpartum-related VTEs (0.73%; three with scores of 3-5 and one with a score of > 6) occurred. No case of pulmonary embolism was observed during the study period. The rate of bleeding was 0.37%. No serious bleeding requiring transfusions or surgery occurred during the study period. Conclusion The use of a risk score may provide a rational decision process to implement safe and effective antepartum thromboprophylaxis in pregnant women at high risk of VTE.

Abstract
AIMS Abnormal plasma concentrations of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a marker of prothrombotic risk, have been found in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but the extent of this variation is not clear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different clinical forms of AF on plasma concentrations of vWF at different levels of the circulatory tree, both intracardiac and extracardiac. METHODS AND RESULTS Peripheral (Pf), left atrial (LA), and coronary sinus (CS) blood samples were obtained during cardiac catheterization from 52 patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF), 36 with persistent AF (PsAF), and 17 control subjects (Ct) with left-sided accessory pathway Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Plasma concentrations of vWF were determined by immunoturbidimetry. Compared with Ct, patients with PAF had higher LA plasma levels of vWF (P = 0.004), but similar Pf and CS levels (both P > 0.30). In contrast, patients with PsAF had higher plasma concentrations of vWF in Pf (P = 0.04), LA (P < 0.001), and CS (P = 0.04) samples compared with Ct. Left atrial plasma concentrations of vWF in patients with PsAF were also higher than in the PAF group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSION Regardless of the clinical form of the arrhythmia, AF patients presented significantly higher plasma concentrations of vWF compared with sinus rhythm controls. Multilevel vWF plasma concentration assessment suggests an association between the clinical evolution of AF and the progression of endothelial dysfunction. Further studies will have to establish the exact mechanisms that link endothelial dysfunction and stroke in the context of AF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of score based management of pregnancies with high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHOD 116 consecutive pregnancies in 109 women with confirmed thrombophilia and/or history of VTE were studied. Patients were managed in accordance with international recommendations. Recently, a VTE risk prediction score was established. An independent group assessed retrospectively and in a blinded way the usefulness of this score. RESULTS Of the 116 pregnancies, an antithrombotic prophylaxis by low molecular weight heparin was prescribed in 61 cases (52.6%). All patients with a positive score (n=57, 49.1%) have been treated with an antenatal thromboprophylaxis. In the population where the score was negative (n=55 cases), none of the patients received antenatal prophylaxis. But, despite a negative score, four patients were treated by their general practitioner. During the study period, there was only one episode of VTE. CONCLUSION Implementing this scoring system has resulted in favorable outcomes and a low risk of recurrent thrombosis in this limited series of women with increased risk of VTE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Risk factors of maternal morbidity and mortality during postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) include non-optimal anesthetic management. As the anesthetic management of the initial phase is addressed elsewhere, the current chapter is dedicated to the management of severe PPH. METHODS A literature search was performed using PubMed and Medline databases, and the Cochrane Library, for articles published from 2003 up to and including 2013. Several keywords related to anesthetic and critical care practice, and obstetrical management were used, in various combinations. Guidelines from several societies and organisations were also read. RESULTS When PPH worsens, one should ask for additional team personnel (professional consensus). Patients should be monitored for heart rate, blood pressure, skin and mucosal pallor, bleeding at skin puncture sites, diuresis and the volume of genital bleeding (grade B). Because of the possible rapid worsening of coagulapathy, patients should undergo regular evaluation of coagulation status (professional consensus). Prevention and management of hypothermia should be considered (professional consensus), by warming intravenous fluids and blood products, and by active body warming (grade C). Antibiotics should be given, if not already administered at the initial phase (professional consensus). Vascular fluids must be given (grade B), the choice being left at the physician discretion. Blood products transfusion should be decided based on the clinical severity of PPH (professional consensus). Priority is given to red blood cells (RBC) transfusion, with the aim to maintain Hb concentration>8g/dL. The first round of products could include 3 units of RBC (professional consensus), and the following round 3 units of RBC, and 3 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP). The FFP:RBC ratio should be kept between 1:2 and 1:1 (professional consensus). Depending on the etiology of PPH, the early administration of FFP is left at the discretion of the physician (professional consensus). Platelet count should be maintained at>50 G/L (professional consensus). During massive PPH, fibrinogen concentration should be maintained at>2g/L (professional consensus). Fibrinogen can be given without prior fibrinogen measurement in case of massive bleeding (professional consensus). General anesthesia should be considered in case of hemodynamic instability, even when an epidural catheter is in place (professional consensus). CONCLUSION The anesthetic management aims to restore and maintain optimal respiratory state and circulation, to treat coagulation disorders, and to allow invasive obstetrical and radiologic procedures. Clinical and instrumental monitoring are needed to evaluate the severity of PPH, to guide the choice of therapeutic options, and to assess treatments efficacy.

Abstract
Background Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare complication of heparin treatments, and only a few large patient cohorts have been reported. In this study, biological and clinical data from 144 French patients with HIT were analyzed in comparison with the literature.
Methods The diagnosis of HIT was confirmed in all patients by an immunoassay combined with serotonin release assay. In the literature, only cohorts of at least 20 HIT patients published from 1992 were selected for a comparative analysis.
Results Two-thirds of patients were hospitalized in surgery and most were treated with unfractionated heparin (83.2% vs. 16.8% with low molecular weight heparin only). Thrombotic events in 54 patients (39.7%) were mainly venous (41/54). However, arterial thrombosis was more frequent after cardiac surgery (13.2% vs. 2.4% in other surgeries, p = 0.042) with a shorter recovery time (median = 3 vs. 5 days, p < 0.001). The mortality rate was lower in our series than in the 22 selected published studies (median = 6.3% vs. 15.9%). Three genetic polymorphisms were also studied and homozygous subjects FcγRIIA RR were more frequent in patients with thrombosis (37.8 vs. 18.2% in those without thrombosis, p = 0.03).
Conclusion This study shows that the mortality rate due to HIT has recently decreased in France, possibly due to earlier diagnosis and improved medical care. It also confirms the strong association between polymorphism FcγRIIA H131R and thrombosis in HIT.

Abstract
Background. Heparin is the most commonly used drug in patients requiring therapeutic anticoagulation. But the use of heparin has serious side effects such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). The diagnosis of HIT is often difficult. This study was designed to test the diagnosis value of 2 laboratory tests: the platelet aggregation test and the ELISA test (Enzym Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay). Methods and Results. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of these 2 tests, we prospectively performed both tests in all patients referred to our laboratory with suspected type II HIT, and compared their results with clinical outcome. Plasmas from 60 patients suspected of HIT, were tested for heparin-dependent platelet-reactive antibodies with a platelet agregation test (PAT) and with an ELISA which detects anti heparin platelet factor 4 antibodies (Anti PF4-H Ab). Among the 60 explored patients, the clinical diagnosis of HIT was confirmed in 27 patients by clinical criteria. In 16 of these 27 patients, PAT and anti PF4-H. Ab were both positive, and in the 11 other patients, one of the 2 tests was negative. In 29 of the 33 patients with no clinical HIT, PAT and anti PF4-H. Ab were both negative, in the 4 remaining patients, one of the 2 tests was positive. Conclusion. For 75% of patients, biological results were concordant with the final clinical diagnosis. The combination of both tests is more reliable than the use of a single test; in the present series, all patients with positive results on both tests had clinically confirmed HIT, and all patients with negative results on both tests had not clinically confirmed HIT.

Abstract
This FranceCoag network study assessed 33 patients with congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency presenting FXIII levels <10 iu/dl. Diagnosis was based on abnormal bleeding in 29 patients, a positive family history in 2, recurrent miscarriages in 1 and was fortuitous in 1. Eighteen patients (62·1%) presented life-threatening umbilical or intracranial haemorrhages (ICH). Seven of the 15 patients who experienced ICH were diagnosed but untreated, including 3 with secondary neurological sequelae. All pregnancies without prophylaxis (26/26) led to miscarriages versus 3/16 with prophylaxis. In patients exhibiting FXIII levels <10 iu/dl, prophylaxis could be discussed at diagnosis and at pregnancy. Further controlled prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The correct diagnosis and classification of VWD (von Willebrand disease) is crucial and must be optimized by including the collagen binding assay (VWF:CB). VWF:CB remains an under-recognized tool, not fully automated. The objective of this study was to evaluate and to compare the previously evaluated automated chemiluminescent assay (HemosIL AcuStar VWF:CB) to the ELISA ASSERACHROM® assay used routinely in our laboratory in patients with molecular diagnosis of VWD. METHODS A plasma sample from 49 patients previously diagnosed with VWD (type 1; type 2A, type 2M, type 2B) through phenotype and VWF (von Willebrand factor) analysis and 15 healthy controls was analysed. The VWF ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:Rco) and VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) were performed simultaneously on the VWD plasma samples, and VWF:CB/VWF:Ag ratios were calculated. RESULTS The AcuStar VWF:CB assay was quickly performed with Pearson's correlation coefficient (r²) of .9571 between assays and a bias of +5.1U/dL (AcuStar > ELISA). Discrepancies of VWF:CB/VWF:Ag ratio were observed in type 2M-2A-like VWD (ratio <0.6 with AcuStar assay in 4/5 samples). CONCLUSION The AcuStar VWF:CB assay has demonstrated good performance to detect VWF mutational changes with capacity to discriminate quickly principal types of VWD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The rare coagulation disorders may present significant difficulties in diagnosis and management. In addition, considerable inter-individual variation in bleeding phenotype is observed amongst affected individuals, making the bleeding risk difficult to assess in affected individuals. The last international recommendations on rare inherited bleeding disorders (RIBDs) were published by the United Kingdom Haemophilia Centre Doctors' Organisation in 2014. Since then, new drugs have been marketed, news studies on surgery management in patients with RIBD have been published, and new orphan diseases have been described. AIM Therefore, the two main objectives of this review, based on the recent recommendations published by the French Reference Centre on Haemophilia and Rare Bleeding Disorders, are: (i) to briefly describe RIBD (clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up) to help physicians in patient screening for the early detection of such disorders; and (ii) to focus on the current management of acute haemorrhages and long term prophylaxis, surgical interventions, and pregnancy/delivery in patients with RIBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) promotes vascular repair and angiogenesis and can induce in vitro tissue factor (TF), a potent agent initiating thrombogenesis, which probably plays a role in angiogenesis. We investigated whether bFGF administration induced TF expression by monocytes and vascular cells. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied TF expression in normally fed (n=16) and cholesterol-fed (2% for 6 weeks, n=16) rabbits. Animals were then randomized to receive intravenous bFGF (2.5 microg twice weekly for 3 weeks) or saline injections. TF expression was evaluated in mononuclear cells from arterial blood and in aortic sections by an immunohistochemical assay using a monoclonal anti-rabbit TF antibody (activator protein 1). Monocyte TF expression was increased by bFGF administration in both normal and hypercholesterolemic rabbits (129+/-45 versus 19+/-3 mU TF/1000 monocytes, P<0.05, and 31+/-12 versus 7+/-1 mU TF/1000 monocytes, P<0.005, respectively) and was further increased by stimulation of monocytes by endotoxin in vitro. TF expression was lower in hypercholesterolemic rabbits than in normal rabbits. In the media of the vascular wall, bFGF induced strong TF expression in normal rabbits and only weak TF expression in hypercholesterolemic ones. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that systemic administration of bFGF induces an impressive increase of TF expression in circulating monocytes and in the vascular wall in normal and to a lower extent in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. The significance of this observation in terms of inducing thrombosis in vivo needs clarification.

Abstract
The Quality Assessment Program undertaken at the Regional University Hospital of Lille benefits from previous experience making management of this project possible: continuing education, preliminary initiation into the quality approach, and existing reference systems. The aims are to master the rates of outdated and no longer efficient red cell concentrates, to control red cell concentrate delivery time, to validate the refrigeration line integrity and to ensure a flawless marking out process. The process studied is transverse, with those taking part in it belonging to several professional categories. The method will consist in a process identification, its description and characterization according to FMECA (Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis), the creation of a new process and its improvement. Thus failures should be identified and classified hierachically. The corrective actions will consist in communication aids, an education program, blood product transport and blood depot reorganization, data processing improvement and medical equipment acquisition. Quality indicators are developed according to the objectives of the study, and progress indicators are developed as a periodical assessment of blood transfusion practice. This ambitious project relies on the involvement of Hospital Management and referent network. These referents facilitate the improvement processes for those taking part in this process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemostatic assessments of patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) have mainly relied on subjective parameters. AIMS To compare objective haemostatic outcomes of TKA/THA in VWD patients and controls without bleeding disorders. METHODS We retrospectively analysed haemostatic outcomes in VWD patients undergoing TKA/THA from 1993 to 2011 and compared them with two matched controls per operation. Using one-way analysis of variance, we tested the effect of VWD on bleeding risk after TKA and THA. RESULTS Twelve VWD patients (6 type 1, 3 type 2M, 1 each of types 2A/2B/3) undergoing 19 operations (12 TKA, 7 THA) were matched to 38 controls. One (5%) of 19 operations in VWD patients and none of the control operations met clinical criteria for major bleeding. Baseline and postoperative day 1 haemoglobin levels, postoperative blood loss, transfused red blood cells (RBCs) and mean hospitalization days were not significantly different. More VWD patients than controls received RBC transfusions [12 (63%) vs. 12 (32%)]. Only 9 (47%) VWD patients vs. 38 (100%) controls received pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis. No postoperative symptomatic VTE occurred in either group. CONCLUSION In this largest, single-institutional study, von Willebrand factor replacement based on daily levels resulted in low frequency of major bleeding in VWD patients after TKA/THA. RBC transfusion was more frequent compared with matched controls, but other objective measures of haemostasis were similar. Lack of sufficient details in published reports precluded comparison of haemostatic outcomes.
