Increase your awareness of some barriers to optimal VWD care,
including short-comings with lab based diagnosis and
uncertainties among clinicians
Augment your ability to utilize validated tools for the diagnosis
and classification of VWD
Sharpen you skills for developing individualized treatment plans
using modern therapeutics, including with VWF/FVIII concentrates
Enhance your ability to address practical aspects of VWD care,
such as patient education, care coordination and safety
considerations in collaboration with other healthcare providers

Summary of Challenges and Barriers
to Timely gnosis of VWD
WD is challenging to diagnose owing to disease heterogeneity"
No single laboratory test can determine the presence or absence of functional
WF and pre/post-analytic factors can result in falsely low VWF levels23
On average, patients experience a 1.8-year delay from initial bleeding symptoms
to diagnosis of VWD*
Inadequate use of diagnostic and assessment tools lead to under- or misdiagnosis
of VWD4

For patients with a low probability of VWD, guidelines recommend BATs as an initial
screening test to determine who needs specific blood testing
For patients with an intermediate-high probability (eg, family history of VWD), guidelines
do NOT recommend BATs to determine the need for laboratory testing

To Improve the Management of VWD, We Need to Address
These Challenges and Unmet Needs1*
Diagnostic delays result in more bleeding episodes and high ER visits, which persist even
after diagnosis of VWD, suggesting inadequate management of VWD
Lack of standardized approaches/clear guidance on when and how to treat VWD, in part
due to heterogeneity of the disease, leading to frustration from providers and patients
Challenges related to the need for IV infusions with available therapies, including
resistance among patients to adopt these treatments
Difficult to measure success of therapy due to absence of long-term impacts of bleeding
in patients with VWD (except for iron deficiency anemia)
VWD in women is often more clinically severe due to menorrhagia and poses unique
challenges, especially during pregnancy
