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]
