Epidemiology Prevalence is as high as 1-2% in the general population on unselected screening. Worldwide incidence is around 125 per million with between 0.5 and 5 per million being severely affected. Most patients have mild disease. [patient.info]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of VWD in the general population is estimated at between 0.1 and 1% (including all forms) depending on the study, but the prevalence of symptomatic VWD that requires specific treatment is estimated at between 1/50,000 [orpha.net]

Two large epidemiologic studies have reported prevalence rates of approximately 1%. 2,3 In these studies, healthy school-aged children were screened and diagnosed with VWD based on low VWF activity, measured as ristocetin cofactor, and a personal and [mdedge.com]
