[New data from the German Haemophilia Registry]

The German Haemophilia Registry records online data from patients with haemophilia A, haemophilia B, von Willebrand`s disease and other coagulation factor deficiency disorders since 2009. Patient's pseudonymised data will only be enrolled in the German Haemophilia Registry if the patient signs an informed consent. Without the informed consent, only aggregated data according to §21 German Transfusion Law are reported. These data include the number of persons with congenital haemostasis disorders classified to type of disease and severity as well as patients' age, and the consumption of clotting factor according to each group.

The highest number of patients with haemophilia was reported in 2010: 3375 patients with haemophilia A and 614 with haemophilia B respectively; the highest number of patients with von Willebrand's disease was 1473, reported in 2011.

In comparison to data from registries in Austria and Switzerland it can be assumed that most of the patients with severe haemophilia are registered in the German Haemophilia Registry whereas patients with moderate and mild forms are still missing.
