Are prothrombin time and clot waveform analysis useful in detecting a bleeding risk in liver cirrhosis?

Introduction Prothrombin time is thought to be unreliable in cirrhotic patients to predict the risk of bleeding. We investigated whether prothrombin time ratio was an independent risk factor for bleeding alongside its clot waveform analysis. Methods We studied 307 consecutive cirrhotic patients and...
