Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants With Level 3 Postoperative Hemorrhage

Postoperative hemorrhage is defined as any history of bleeding occurring within the 14 day postoperative period. Hemorrhage will be stratified into 3 levels of severity. Level 1: includes children with a history of postoperative bleeding evaluated and/or treated by a physician in the emergency room, inpatient unit or operating room; Level 2: children requiring inpatient admission for postoperative bleeding regardless of the need for operative intervention; Level 3: children requiring inpatient admission and return to the operating room for control of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. (NCT01605903)
Timeframe: Data about post-tonsillectomy bleeding will be obtained after the end of a 14-day postoperative period.
