Article Synopsis
- Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune disorder that leads to bleeding due to the body producing antibodies against factor VIII, causing diagnostic delays that result in poor outcomes and higher mortality.
- A study reviewed six AHA patients over seven years and found that the average age was 79.5 years, with a median diagnosis delay of 14 days; all patients eventually received treatments, but three died within a year from bleeding-related issues.
- The researchers suggest an algorithm to improve the early diagnosis and treatment of AHA to potentially prevent such poor outcomes in both emergency and general medical settings.
