  • Data collection arrangements

    THE PRO-RBDD PROJECT is aimed at establishing a network of haemophilia centres which collect data on patients with the most severe types of rare bleeding disorders (RBDs), fibrinogen deficiency and FXIII deficiency, using a prospective observational
    cohort design. It consists of interactive web-based pages designed to collect data on phenotype, genotype, bleeding manifestations, treatment and related complications for a time span of three years with 6 months interval.

  • Research programme

    Rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) represent 3 to 5% of all the inherited coagulation deficiencies, and include deficiencies of fibrinogen, factor (F) II, FV, FV+FVIII, FVII, FX, FXI, and FXIII with a frequency ranging from 1:500.000 to 1:1 million in the general population. Knowledge of the diagnostics and management of these patients is still a challenge due to the lack of experience and paucity of data related to the rarity of RBDs. The development of guidelines and treatment recommendations for these disorders are essential. For this reason, it is important to study epidemiology and clinical outcomes, collect longitudinal clinical data, and classify these disorders.
