Risk stratification for pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism: Potential role for global coagulation assays.
Obstetric Medicine 2022 September
Risk assessment for venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and the puerperium is currently limited to stratifying clinical surrogate risk factors without high-quality evidence. While the absolute risk of pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism is low for the vast majority of women, associated morbidity and mortality remains significant. As guidelines for thromboprophylaxis vary widely, some women may be under- or over-anticoagulated, contributing to poor outcomes. New global coagulation assays provide a holistic view of coagulation and may have the potential to detect hypercoagulability in pregnancy, unlike clinically available coagulation assays. However, there are major technical challenges to overcome before global coagulation assays can be realistically proposed as an adjunct to risk assessment for pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism. This review summarises the literature and controversies in the prediction and prevention of pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism and outlines the new tools in haematology that may assist in our future understanding of hypercoagulability in pregnancy.
