Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
The safety of neuro‐axial anaesthesia (epidural/spinal) at labour of women with partial factor XI (FXI) deficiency is uncertain. Although FXI deficiency is frequent in Ashkenazi Jews, it is not routinely measured before labour. Our institute serves a large Ashkenazi population. We assumed that 10% of them have undiagnosed FXI deficiency.
Aim
Assess the incidence, bleeding tendency and coagulation status among Jewish Ashkenazi women with FXI deficiency that underwent neuro‐axial anaesthesia at delivery.
Methods
Jewish Ashkenazi women who underwent neuro‐axial anaesthesia at labour completed the SSC ISTH bleeding assessment tool (BAT) and had blood drawn for coagulation tests, FXI and thrombin generation after labour. Estimation for 10 years was calculated from the 1‐year sample.
Results
We recruited 261 women during 12 months. Among them, 39 (15%) had FXI deficiency ( |
