Inherited bleeding disorders: results from the Italian Regional Haemophilia Centre of Pescara.

BACKGROUND: Inherited bleeding disorders registries can be useful to improve health care of these rare disorders and document their natural history.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analysed the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of patients managed at an Italian Regional Haemophilia Centre, based in Pescara (in the Region of Abruzzo).

RESULTS: This Regional Haemophilia Centre currently follows 376 patients: 248 with rare clotting factor defects, 33 with von Willebrand's disease, 75 with haemophilia A and 20 with haemophilia B. Three patients with severe haemophilia A have developed inhibitors. Among all the haemophiliacs, the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection is 21% while the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus infection is 5.3%. Among the whole haemophilic population referring to the Pescara Haemophilia Centre, 87.4% are treated with recombinant factors while 12 patients with severe haemophilia are receiving primary prophylaxis.

CONCLUSION: In brief, an analysis of the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic data collected at the Regional Haemophilia Centre of Pescara is a useful tool for monitoring and continuously improving the quality of care of patients with inherited bleeding disorders.
