Assessment of Patients with von Willebrand Disease with ISTH/BAT and PBQ Scores

The Turkish Society of Hematology initiated the Turkish Hemophilia Masterclass Academy program in 2016 to encourage young hematologists entering the field of hemophilia. The program involved 6 months of training, supported by monthly exams. We, as a group of mentees from the Hemophilia Masterclass Academy, aimed to evaluate the bleeding phenotype of patients with von Willebrand Disease (VWD) using the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis-Bleeding Assessment Tool (ISTH-BAT) and the Pediatric Bleeding Questionnaire (PBQ) scores and investigate the correlation of von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF:Ag) levels and bleeding scores of the patients, as well as present the initial output of our Masterclass Academy.
