Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, treatment and prognosis of congenital factor Ⅺ (FⅪ) deficiency. Methods: The clinical data of 80 patients with congenital FⅪ deficiency in our hospital from September 2006 to October 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among the 80 patients, there were 33 males (41.3%) and 47 females (58.8%) , with a median age of 32 (2-66) years. Twenty-eight cases (35.0%) had bleeding events, including 11 cases of spontaneous bleeding (13.8%) , 9 cases of ecchymosis or bleeding after skin trauma (11.3%) , 9 cases of postoperative bleeding (11.3%) . Among the female patients, there were 11 cases of menorrhagia (23.4%) and 1 case of bleeding after vaginal delivery (2.1%) . Laboratory examination were characterized by prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) , normal prothrombin time (PT) , and decreased FⅪ activity (FⅪ∶C) . Nine patients (11.3%) were tested for FⅪ gene (F11) with 11 mutations. Twenty-seven patients (33.8%) received fresh frozen plasma (FFP) treatment, 15 patients (18.8%) were received for prophylaxis with no bleeding occurred during and after operation. Conclusion: Most patients with congenital FⅪ deficiency have no or mild bleeding symptoms. There was no significant correlation between FⅪ∶C and the severity of bleeding symptoms, and there was a well consistency between FⅪ∶C and F11 homozygous or heterozygous mutation type. Prophylactic infusion of FFP can effectively reduce the risk of operative bleeding.
