A comprehensive review of recent literature assessed whether updates are needed for the ASH ISTH NHF WFH 2021 guidelines on the diagnosis and management of von Willebrand disease (VWD).
Of 432 studies screened for diagnosis and 288 for management, a subset underwent full text review, but none provided evidence strong enough to alter the current recommendations in direction or strength.
As VWD remains the most common inherited bleeding disorder, continued monitoring of emerging data is planned to ensure the guidelines remain current and evidence-based.
