    Major abdominal surgery impacts blood clotting factors. Factors V and VII decreased post-surgery, while factors VIII and fibrinogen increased, especially in elective procedures, offering insights into thrombotic disease risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Coagulation science
    • Surgical pathology
    • Hemostasis research

    Background:

    • Preoperative levels of coagulation factors V and VII align with general population values.
    • Preoperative levels of factor VIII and fibrinogen are elevated in emergency surgery patients compared to those awaiting surgery.
    • Major abdominal surgery significantly influences various blood clotting factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in coagulation factors V, VII, VIII, and fibrinogen during major abdominal surgery.
    • To differentiate the effects of elective versus emergency surgery on these clotting factors.
    • To provide insights into the relationship between clotting factor alterations and thrombotic disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of coagulation factors V, VII, VIII, and fibrinogen in 32 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

  • Comparison of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factor levels.
  • Distinction between elective and emergency surgical patient cohorts.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor V levels decreased post-surgery, then increased above baseline before returning to preoperative levels by day ten.
    • Factor VII levels decreased following both elective and emergency surgery, remaining depressed postoperatively.
    • Factor VIII and fibrinogen levels increased after elective surgery; no significant change was observed after emergency surgery, though preoperative levels were higher in emergency cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgery itself is a primary driver for the decrease in factors V and VII.
    • Factors VIII and fibrinogen increases may be influenced by surgical stress, underlying conditions, and acute complications.
    • Understanding these factor dynamics is crucial for interpreting associations with thrombotic disease, especially concerning factor VII.
