Abstract

Early treatment for acute bleeds in patients with haemophilia and inhibitors is feasible when patients are managed in haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs). Patients may need to attend non-HTCs for out-of-hours emergency care, especially if HTCs are not local and/or transport is difficult. We evaluated the barriers to the fast treatment of bleeds in patients with haemophilia and inhibitors presenting at non-HTCs. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) from non-HTCs in the United States (n = 218) and Germany (n = 98) were selected from validated online panels and invited to participate in a survey (October-November 2017). A mean of 6 (US) and 5 (German) patients with haemophilia and inhibitors were managed for bleeds by these HCPs over 12 months; patient characteristics were similar in both countries. The main HCPs involved in treating bleeds were emergency room specialists (94%) and haematologists (91%) (US); haematologists (79%) and anaesthesiologists (59%) (Germany). Only 26% (US) and 28% (Germany) of HCPs had access to treatment guidelines for these patients; access to bypassing agents was similarly limited: 44% (US) and 38% (Germany) of HCPs reported their institution did not stock these agents. In both countries, key reasons for d...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
