Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the perioperative blood loss, need for transfusion and one-year revision rates in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty who also have a diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD) with a matched control group. A retrospective single-centre case-control study was conducted. Fifty-eight patients with VWD and 116 controls (1:2 match) who were operated for primary or revision hip and knee arthroplasty at our hospital were included. Blood loss, haemoglobin (Hb)-drop, need for blood transfusion, intraoperative complications and revision rates within one year were noted in all cases. Outcome measures for subgroups of the primary hip, primary knee, revision hip and revision knee procedures, were also analysed. The mean perioperative Hb-drop was 3.47 (±1.27) g/dL and blood loss was 293 (±97) ml for the VWD group while Hb-drop was 2.85 (±1.21) g/dL and blood loss was 232 (±105) mL for the control group (P < .001). There were no significant increased transfusion rates (P = .264) and revision rates in the VWD group (P = .634). Patients having primary hip surgery had significantly higher Hb-drop (3.68 ± 1.25 g/dL vs 2.62 ± 1.19 g/dL; P = .003), higher blood loss (293 vs 203 mL; P = .002) and increas...Continue Reading

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.
