Perioperative Management of Von Willebrand Disease, a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background: von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder characterized by quantitative or qualitative defect of von Willebrand factor (vWF) production. Patients with vWD are at high risk of bleeding during surgery. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of factor VIII (FVIII)/vWF concentrates and DDAVP for bleeding prevention in vWD patients who undergo surgery or an invasive procedure. Methods:The electronic searches were performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. The articles published from inception to January 2016 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Studies will be included if they are observational studies or clinical trials of pediatric or adult patients who were laboratory confirmed vWD (type 1 or type 2 or type 3). We excluded case report or case series with less than 5 patients, acquired vWD and incomplete outcome reports. The primary outcome was the efficacy of hemostatic control as defined by studies. We calculated pooled incidence of the patient who achieve good or excellent hemostatic control with corresponding 95% confidence interval using single proportion meta-analysis. The secondary outcomes were adverse outcomes from FVIII/vWF and DDAVP. Results: After screening, there were 54 studies included in the meta-analysis. Forty-five studies investigated the efficacy of vWF/FVIII. Pooled analysis revealed that 98.4% (95% CI; 97.8-99.1%, I2=45.5%) of FVIII/vWF treated patients achieved excellent or good hemostasis. Subgroup analysis according to type of surgery revealed that excellent or good hemostasis was 99.4% (95%CI; 98.4-100%, I2=0%) in major surgery and 99.0% (95%CI; 98.2-99.9%, I2=0%) in minor surgery, Table 1. Adverse effects were observed in 0.2% (95% CI; 0-0.4, I2=85.1%) patients who received FVIII/vWF. The reported adverse effects from FVIII/vWF concentrates included phlebitis, shortness of breath, chest tightness, urticaria, pruritus, chill, malaise, fever, paresthesia, transient elevation of liver function test, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache and parvovirus B 19 seroconversion. Thromboembolism occurred in 0.17% of patients who received vWF/FIII. There were 26 studies investigating DDAVP during surgery. Hemostasis was excellent or good in 98.0% (95%CI; 97.0-99.0%, I2=26.3%. In dental procedure, 99.0% of patients receiving DDAVP (95%CI; 97.6-100%, I2=0%) achieved excellent or good hemostasis. Subgroup analysis showed that good/excellent hemostasis was found in 96.9% of pediatric patients (95%CI; 95.1-98.7%, I2=58.8%) and 96.9% (95%CI; 92.7-100%, I2= 0%) in adult patients, Table 2. Adverse effects from DDAVP were reported in 1.2% (95%CI; 0.4-2.1%, I2=95%). Hyponatremia of any level was observed in 16.1% (95%CI; 8.9-22.4%, I2=94.1%). The other reported adverse effects were headache, fatigue, rash, seizure (from hyponatremia), flushing, dizziness, peripheral edema, nausea and vomiting. No thromboembolic event was found in DDAVP treated patients. Conclusions: Both FVIII/vWF concentrates and DDAVP are effective and safe for bleeding prevention during surgery or an invasive procedure in vWD patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
