Introduction And Importance: Acquired von Willebrand disease (AvWD) is a rare underdiagnosed bleeding disorder caused by alterations in the levels of the major blood-clotting protein von Willebrand factor (vWF).

- Research on factors affecting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) resolution in children with central venous access devices (CVAD) is limited, impacting treatment decisions.
- A study of 85 pediatric patients found that successful thrombus resolution in the first 6 months was less likely with total occlusions, certain vein locations, early collateral circulation, and fewer prothrombotic risk factors.
- The findings indicate that these risk factors should be carefully considered for anticoagulation treatment duration and effectiveness in pediatric patients with CVAD-associated DVT.
Introduction: We present the first registry of patients with congenital bleeding disorders and COVID-19. The study has been carried out in the Community of Madrid, which has the highest number of cases in Spain. The objective is to understand the incidence of COVID-19, the course of the disease if it occurs and the psychosocial and occupational impact on this population.
