Abstract

To determine the clinical and laboratory features of 178 children referred for the evaluation of recurrent epistaxis to an outpatient hematology clinic in a university medical center. Medical records of 3681 outpatient pediatric hematology referrals were retrospectively review, and 178 children with recurrent epistaxis from 1985 to 1999 were identified. Historic (other bleeding symptoms: gingival bleeding, easy bruising, menorrhagia, and gross blood in the urine or stool: duration and severity of the epistaxis episodes; and family history of bleeding) and laboratory (complete blood count and coagulation tests) data were analyzed. There were 103 boys and 75 girls with a median age of 84 months (range 15-219 months). Sixty-seven percent (n = 119) did not have a coagulopathy diagnosed and 33% (n = 59) did. The diagnoses included von Willebrand disease in 33, platelet aggregation disorders in 10, thrombocytopenia in seven, mild factor VIII deficiency in three, Bernard-Soulier syndrome in two, factor VII deficiency in one, factor IX deficiency in one, and factor XI deficiency in one, and coagulation inhibitor in one. Of the historic data, only a family history of bleeding was predictive of diagnosing a coagulopathy (P = 0.023). The ...Continue Reading

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
