Abstract
- Objective: Patients with inherited bleeding disorders faced problems in accessing healthcare during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the health problems of patients with inherited bleeding disorders during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Material and Methods: Children and adult patients with inherited bleeding disorders who had a coronavirus disease 2019 infection between March 2020 and November 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Seven hundred seventy-two patients were reviewed, and 65 patients who had a coronavirus disease 2019 infection (Male/Female: 58/7, mean age 28.2 ±14.1 years) were analyzed. Sixty patients (92%) had hemophilia A or B or von Willebrand's disease and 5 (8%) had rare bleeding disorders. Sixteen (24.6%) patients had a comorbid disease and 6 (9.2%) needed hospitalization due to severe coronavirus disease 2019 infection. Seven patients (10.7%) experienced a bleeding episode and were treated with factor concentrates. Totally, 64 (98.46%) patients recovered from the coronavirus disease 2019 infection and 1 died. Conclusion: Patients with inherited bleeding disorders and coronavirus disease 2019 infection mostly had a mild/moderate course of the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
