Bleeding tendency is weakly correlated with the activity of factor VII (FVII) in the plasma of patients with FVII deficiency. A laboratory method for predicting bleeding risk in patients with this coagulation disorder is lacking. We investigated whether global coagulation assays, specifically thromboelastography (TEG) and thrombin generation assay (TGA), could be used to predict bleeding risk. We also sought to...
