Significant gynecological bleeding in women with low von Willebrand factor levels

Abstract

= .7). Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) was self-reported in 63.5% of parous women (n = 74); 21.6% required transfusion, critical care, radiological, or surgical intervention. Our data demonstrate that gynecological bleeding is frequently reported in women with low VWF; despite pregnancy-related increases in plasma VWF levels, these women may experience PPH. Defining the optimal management approach for these patients requires further research. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03167320.
