Von Willebrand Disease and Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Study

Conclusion.The most significant correlates of GI bleeding in VWD are angiodysplasia, diverticulitis, hepatitis C, Black race, male gender, and smoking. Identification of VWD at high risk for GI bleeding with consideration for factor prophylaxis after the first GI bleed, may help reduce the morbidity of recurrent GI bleeding in VWD.TableDisclosuresRagni: Bioverativ: Consultancy, Research Funding; CSL Behring: Research Funding; MOGAM: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees; Shire: Research Funding; SPARK: Consultancy, Research Funding; Alnylam: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding; Biomarin: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding; Novo Nordisk: Research Funding; Sangamo: Research Funding.
