Prolonged bleeding time.

S E Lind

    The American Journal of Medicine
    |August 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The bleeding time test is useful for patients with active bleeding or a history of bleeding. However, it is not a reliable substitute for a thorough clinical history due to insufficient data on its predictive value.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Clinical Pathology

    Background:

    • The bleeding time test is a common method for assessing platelet function.
    • Prolonged bleeding time can indicate various underlying hemostatic disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature concerning the bleeding time test.
    • To outline the causes and management of prolonged bleeding time.
    • To define the clinical utility of the bleeding time test.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on bleeding time.
    • Analysis of causes and management strategies for prolonged bleeding time.
    • Evaluation of the test's diagnostic performance.

    Main Results:

    • The bleeding time test is most valuable in patients presenting with active bleeding or a documented bleeding history.

  • Insufficient data exists to determine the test's sensitivity, specificity, or predictive value for perioperative or postoperative hemorrhage.

    • Conclusions:

    • The bleeding time test has specific indications, primarily in patients with overt bleeding issues.
    • It should complement, not replace, a comprehensive clinical assessment, especially for surgical bleeding risk.
