Abstract

Background
Rare bleeding disorders include inherited coagulation disorders except for von Willebrand disease and hemophilia A and B. These disorders affect both men and women worldwide and mainly have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Given the paucity of cases of rare bleeding disorders, there are limited data regarding some topics among bleeding disorders.
Methods
This retrospective study from 2005‒2019 collected demographic data and the causes of death among cases with rare bleeding disorders from 2 provinces of Iran.
Results
Overall, 5 deaths were reported, including 3 cases with factor V deficiency, a case with factor XIII deficiency, and a case with combined factor V and factor VIII deficiencies. The main causes of death were bleeding in the central nervous system (2 cases; 1 with factor V deficiency and 1 with combined factor XIII deficiency). Post-partum hemorrhage was the cause of death in a woman with factor V deficiency while anaphylaxis shock was the cause of death in the case with combined factor V and factor VIII deficiencies. A woman with factor V deficiency died from an internal bleeding episode.
Conclusion
Gathering data on the causes of death in rare bleeding disorders through worldwide registries can be helpful for the management of this rare group of bleeding disorders.
