WBDR milestone achieved: 10,000 PWH enrolled!

In 2018, the WFH launched the World Bleeding Disorders Registry (WBDR), providing HTCs with a simple solution to collect data. The WBDR is designed to collect standardized clinical data on people with hemophilia from a large network of hemophilia treatment centres (HTC) all around the globe. The WFH is happy to announce that 10,000 people with hemophilia (PWH)—and counting—have taken part in the WBDR, and, in doing so, have played an important part in improving patient care worldwide.

Patient data are the foundation of clinical decisions and health policies—and they can play a transformative role in the lives of people with bleeding disorders. For many years, the bleeding disorders community asked for more and better data to help improve patient care, inform clinical decisions, and advocate for better support. The WBDR answers this need, and offers the global community the opportunity to mitigate the gap in availability, quality, and usability of patient data at both the national and regional level.

The important milestone of 10,000 PWH enrolled was realized one year earlier than anticipated. The WFH is deeply grateful for the participants who are contributing their data to enhance our understanding of patient care around the world.

During the past four years, the WFH has provided the community with several programs and resources related to the WBDR, including the following:

As the WBDR grows, more features and improvements are being introduced to the platform. At the WFH 2022 World Congress, the WFH launched myWBDR, a new patient mobile app which offers a health monitoring tool and a diary for PWH, and patient-reported outcome data for researchers and clinicians. The app is available in seven languages.

The WFH would like to thank all PWH and their caregivers, HTC staff, national member organizations (NMOs), and expert volunteers for continuing to be the backbone that nurtures and sustains the WBDR as a key global resource for advocacy, research, and empowerment of PWH.
