News Articles
Dear Friends,
The topic of bone health in people with bleeding disorders has received more attention and study in recent years, with reports suggesting that people with hemophilia (PwH) and people with von Willebrand disease (PwVWD) experience higher rates of osteoporosis and bone fractures. That said, screening for bone health is not consistent across federally funded hemophilia treatment centers. A lack of clear, uniform screening guidelines is a major contributing factor to this disparity.
