.
AE: adverse event; aHUS: atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome; CSP: cryosupernatant plasma; FFP: fresh frozen plasma; FV: factor 5; FVIII: factor 8; FXI: factor 11; HFE: hyperfibrinolic events; HUS: haemolytic uremic syndrome; IQR: interquartile range; LD: liver dysfunction; LT: liver transplant; PEX: plasma exchange; S/D: solvent detergent; TE: thrombotic event; TEE: thromboembolic event; TPE: total plasma exchange; TTP: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
* Retrospective review and analysis of case notes for 50 consecutive patient episodes of acute TTP treated between February 2003 and December 2005. 12 episodes were treated with CSP only, and 21 episodes were treated with Octaplasma® only. Primary endpoint was the number of PEX to remission.1 [SCULLY p.155A; p.155B; p.155C]
† p=0.06, Mann-Whitney U-test.1 [SCULLY p.155D]
‡ Open label, multicentre trial of pharmacokinetic and hemostatic efficacy in 17 patients with recessively inherited coagulation disorders. Patients received Octaplasma® as replacement therapy for procedures at risk of bleeding (n=14 elective surgery, n=2 vaginal delivery, n=1 emergency surgery). Primary endpoint was the evaluation of treatment efficacy by surgeons and attending physicians.10 [SANTAGOSTINO p.634A; p.634B; p.634C; p.635A]
Effective: actual blood loss did not exceed the expected amount and no bleeding complication occurred; Partially effective: when blood loss exceeded that expected by <50% or when mild bleeding complications were observed.10 [SANTAGOSTINO p.635A]
