Bleeding Symptoms and von Willebrand Factor Levels : 30-Year Experience in a Tertiary Care Center

Correlations between bleeding symptoms and von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels may help to predict hemorrhagic severity in the Westerners with von Willebrand disease (VWD), but data in Asians are lacking. In this study, Thai patients with VWF levels <50 IU/dL without any secondary causes were enrolled from 1988 to 2018 to determine the relationship between VWF levels and hemorrhagic manifestations. According to the current concept, we reclassified VWD and low VWF by VWF levels ≤30 and 30 to 50 IU/dL, respectively. Type 2 VWD was diagnosed if VWF activity to antigen ratio was ≤0.6. Bleeding severity was determined by the condensed MCMDM-1VWD bleeding score (BS). Among 83 patients, VWF activities showed negative correlations with BS (P = .001), which were higher in type 2 (median: 7, interquartile range [IQR]: 5-11) compared with type 1 VWD (median: 3, IQR: 2-4) and low VWF (median: 4, IQR: 2-8). Bleeding symptoms were indistinguishable between type 1 VWD and low VWF using the 30 IU/dL cutoff point. However, VWF ristocetin cofactor activity or gain-of-function mutant glycoprotein Ib binding activity <36.5 IU/dL and VWF collagen binding activity <34.5 IU/dL could predict increased bleeding risk (BS ≥3) by 92.3% specificity and 70.0% sensitivity (P < .0001).
