Data on
Females with von Willebrand Disease: May 1998 through December 2002
(2/27/04)
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/hbd/documents/UDCreport5_1.pdf
This issue of the Universal Data Collection (UDC) Surveillance Report
focuses on women with von Willebrand disease (VWD) who have been enrolled in
the UDC program. The purpose of this surveillance report is to disseminate
the information being collected by UDC to public health workers, health
educators and planners, other care providers, and patients in the bleeding
disorders community. The report contains information about the demographic
characteristics of the participants, their blood and factor product use, and
the occurrence and treatment of joint and infectious diseases. The two most
common congenital bleeding disorders are VWD and hemophilia. VWD is caused
by the defective synthesis or function of a protein, von Willebrand factor
that is necessary for normal blood clotting. VWD occurs with equal frequency
in men and women.
