Background: Factor VII deficiency (FVIId) is a rare inherited bleeding disorder whose prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 300,000 -500,000 in general population. In India, the epidemiological data on factor VII (FVII) disorder are scarce. Serious arthropathy is observed in cases which are severely affected with spontaneous bleeding and hemarthrosis. In such cases, orthopedic surgery is required. Fresh frozen plasma, prothrombin complex concentrates, factor VII concentrates -plasma derived and recombinant factor VII (rFVII) are different types of preparations which are available as therapeutic options in treatment for bleeding occurring during or after surgery in FVIId patients. The main objective of our study was to give a result of the treatment protocol for FVIId patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in our hospital and compare its results with other studies conducted around the world.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
