  • Research summary

    von Willebrand disease (vWD) is reported to be the most common bleeding disorder, with prevalence estimated at 1% of the general population. Despite this, little is known about its natural history, or of the impact it has on affected individuals.

    The Haemnet vWD.360 programme is a mixed-methods, natural history study designed to better understand vWD and its impact on individuals. It comprises both qualitative and quantitative approaches and is designed to include the perspectives of individuals with a diagnosis of any subtype of vWD

    The vWD.360 study includes three components:
    - A survey
    - A single one-to-one interview
    - A 30-day symptom diary.
