Abstract:
We used Ohio Medicaid data to determine frequency and predictors of laboratory screening for von Willebrand disease and other bleeding disorders in adolescents with heavy menses. Despite expert guidelines, screening was performed in only a minority of subjects (<15% of those with heavy menses and <25% of those with menstrual bleeding defined as severe), with younger adolescents and those from more urban counties more likely to undergo screening.

Hemostasis, the process that stops bleeding after a blood vessel injury, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. However, disorders of hemostasis can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to either excessive clotting or bleeding. These disorders can be broadly classified into thromboembolic disorders and bleeding disorders.
