ABSTRACT
Type 3 von Willebrand's disease (VWD) is a rare bleeding diathesis with complete or near complete deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and low factor VIII (FVIII) levels. In contrast, only FVIII is decreased in haemophilia A (HA). Both disorders are complicated by arthropathy. The purpose of this study was to further clarify the roles of FVIII and VWF Antigen (VWFAg) in joint range of motion (ROM) loss over time. We compared joint ROM loss and other bleeding manifestations in 100 Type 3 VWD subjects (FVIII<5%) and 1814 moderate HA subjects (FVIII 1-5%) within the U.S. Universal Data Collection (UDC) database. High rates of bleeding were reported at baseline. During follow-up, moderate HA patients reported a joint (46% vs. 34%, P < 0.0001) or muscle bleed (27% vs. 16%, P < 0.0001) in a higher proportion of visits than VWD patients. Other bleeds, including mucosal, were reported in a greater proportion of visits among patients with Type 3 VWD than among those with HA (49% vs. 32%, P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed no difference in joint ROM loss over time in the Type 3 VWD vs. moderate HA populations. A higher FVIII level was protective in both VWD and HA (P < 0.001). Our findings support the hypothesis of primacy of the FVIII level in determining risk of joint haemorrhage, and may help target therapy in Type 3 VWD and moderate HA to prevent joint disability.
