Key result
Laboratory diagnosis of von Willebrand disease exhibits significant geographical disparities in approaches and methods due to differential adherence to guidelines and regulatory aspects.
Why the study?
Appropriate diagnosis and type classification of VWD carry important therapeutic consequences, but remain problematic and elusive for some laboratories.
This review highlights global disparities in the laboratory diagnosis and classification of von Willebrand disease, emphasizing the need for standardized approaches.
