Laboratory monitoring during pregnancy and post-partum hemorrhage in women with von Willebrand disease.
Evidence-based guidelines recommend that von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels be obtained in the third trimester of pregnancy to facilitate peripartum planning for women with von Willebrand disease (VWD). ⋯ Third-trimester VWF monitoring was associated with a lower risk of PPH, but testing was performed in only one-third of insured pregnant women with VWD in the United States despite expert recommendations.
