Patterns of von Willebrand Disease Screening in Girls and Adolescents With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding.

CONCLUSION: Despite recommendations by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for more than 15 years, fewer than 20% of postpubertal girls and adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding underwent screening for von Willebrand disease in this cohort. Increased clinician awareness and adherence to recommended screening recommendations may increase diagnosis of von Willebrand disease. PMID: 29742662 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
