Résumé
Preoperative identification of patients with haemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk was based on routine haemostasis tests: prothrombin time (PT), activated prothrombin time (aPTT), and platelet count. Because of their low predictive performance, guidelines recommend replacing them with structured bleeding risk questionnaires, but none is validated in this population. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of 3 strategies, performed at the pre-anaesthesia visit before scheduled interventions, to identify patients with haemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk PATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicenter study in 7 French academic hospitals, involving patients scheduled for surgical intervention, without antiplatelet/anticoagulant treatment. The 3 strategies consisted of 1-a structured screening questionnaire; 2-PT, aPTT, and platelet count ordered in selected patients; 3-systematic PT, aPTT, and platelet count. The reference standard comprised von Willebrand factor activity/antigen, factors VIII, IX, and XI, platelet-function analyser, and, when required, FII, FV, FX, and FVII and haemostasis consultation. Eighteen (1.2%) of 1484 patients had a haemostasis abnormality leading to an increased bleeding risk according to reference standard. In the overall cohort, sensitivity of the questionnaire-based strategy was 50% (95%CI, 26-74; specificity 87% (95%CI, 85-88); sensitivity was 0 (95%CI, 0-41) in men vs 82% (95%CI, 48- 98) in women. For selective routine tests, sensitivity was 33% (95%CI, 13-59) and specificity 97% (95% CI, 96-98). Corresponding values for systematic routine tests were 44% (95%CI, 22-69) and 93% (95%CI, 91-94). Sensitivity was low for all 3 strategies investigated. The structured screening questionnaire had clinically acceptable diagnostic accuracy only in women.

BACKGROUND
Preoperative identification of patients with haemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk was based on routine haemostasis tests: prothrombin time (PT), activated prothrombin time (aPTT), and platelet count. Because of their low predictive performance, guidelines recommend replacing them with structured bleeding risk questionnaires, but none is validated in this population.
OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of 3 strategies, performed at the pre-anaesthesia visit before scheduled interventions, to identify patients with haemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk PATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicenter study in 7 French academic hospitals, involving patients scheduled for surgical intervention, without antiplatelet/anticoagulant treatment. The 3 strategies consisted of 1-a structured screening questionnaire; 2-PT, aPTT, and platelet count ordered in selected patients; 3-systematic PT, aPTT, and platelet count. The reference standard comprised von Willebrand factor activity/antigen, factors VIII, IX, and XI, platelet-function analyser, and, when required, FII, FV, FX, and FVII and haemostasis consultation.

Sensitivity was low for all 3 strategies investigated. The structured screening questionnaire had clinically acceptable diagnostic accuracy only in women.
