New study aims to uncover hidden bleeding disorder in egyptian kids
NCT ID NCT07410130
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at how common von Willebrand disease is among children in Upper Egypt, what symptoms they have, and how they are treated. Researchers will review medical records and lab tests from 25 children aged 0-18 with suspected or confirmed VWD. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care for this inherited bleeding disorder in the region.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors in Upper Egypt better recognize and treat von Willebrand disease in children, leading to fewer complications and hospital visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study that only looks at existing medical records and tests. It won't test new treatments, so it may not directly change care right away.

Who is studied
This study includes pediatric patients aged 0 to 18 years with suspected or confirmed von Willebrand disease (VWD) who are residents of Assiut Governorate or are receiving medical care at Assiut University Children's Hospital. The study population represents children evaluated for bleeding symptoms or referred for assessment of possible inherited bleeding disorders within a tertiary pediatric healthcare setting. Eligible participants are identified based on clinical presentation suggestive of VWD, such as recurrent epistaxis, easy bruising, mucocutaneous bleeding, prolonged bleeding following trauma or surgical procedures, and heavy menstrual bleeding in adolescent females. Both newly evaluated patients and previously diagnosed cases with accessible medical records are included to allow comprehensive assessment of disease frequency, clinical spectrum, and management outcomes. All participants undergo standardized clinical evaluation, including detailed medical history, family history

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 0-18 years. 2. Residents of Assiut Governorate or receiving care at Assiut University Children's Hospital. 3. Suspected or confirmed von Willebrand disease (VWD) based on clinical bleeding symptoms or referral for evaluation. 4. Patients diagnosed with VWD using standard laboratory tests, including: 5. VWF antigen (VWF:Ag). 6. VWF ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RCo). 7. Factor VIII activity. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Other inherited bleeding disorders, such as: 2. Hemophilia A or B. 3. Rare coagulation factor deficiencies (e.g., factors I, V, VII, X, XI deficiency). 4. Platelet function disorders. 5. Acquired bleeding disorders, including: * Liver disease. * Renal insufficiency. * Vitamin K deficiency. * Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). * Use of medications that may interfere with coagulation testing (e.g., anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs). * Incomplete clinical or laboratory data (for retrospective cases). * Refusal of consent for participation (for prospective cases).
