Confidential Page 1 of 18 Survey on Clinically Relevant Bleeding Thank you for having accepted to participate in this research project. We all know when a patient is presenting with a clinically relevant bleeding episode, but it is difficult to have an operational definition that can be used for research. The goal of this survey is to understand what pediatric critical care providers consider a clinically relevant bleed. Some might define "clinically relevant" as an increased risk of worse outcome, others as the requirement for more support, or as increased costs, etc. For each of the following items, please indicate how you would qualify the clinical significance of the bleeding in the following scenarios. We do realize that it will sometimes be difficult for you to answers as the significance of bleeding might depend on the clinical context. Unfortunately, a survey does not allow to capture the complexity of real-life situations. If you do not feel comfortable with the wording of the questions, please feel free to move to the next question or to end the survey.
