To prevent bleeding related to adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy, coagulation screening tests were, until recently, performed routinely in the Czech Republic for all paediatric patients.

In 140 of 274 patients (51.1%), coagulation tests were normal on repeated testing in a specialized haematology clinic. Ten patients had decreased factor XII.
