We provide data which shows the bleeding score is biased towards gynaecological bleeding but which remains elevated even when the bleeding score is deducted. Tranexamic acid and desmopressin are effective as haemostatic prophylaxis but there is an urgent need for clinical trials. In conclusion, we describe the use of the bleeding score in these patients and phenotype, diagnosis (including ThromboGenomic testing) and management with practice recommendations.
