Management of acquired hemophilia A: results from the Spanish registry.

ABSTRACT: The Spanish Acquired Hemophilia A (AHA) Registry is intended to update the status of AHA in Spain. One hundred and fifty-four patients were included and retrospectively followed for a median of 12 months. Patients were predominantly male (56.3%), with median age at diagnosis of 74 years. AHA was more frequently idiopathic (44.1%) and autoimmune disorder-associated (31.7%). Thirty-four percent of patients were on antithrombotic therapy at diagnosis. Hemostatic treatment was used in 70% of patients. Recombinant activated factor VII was more frequently infused (60.3% vs 20.6% activated prothrombin complex concentrate). Only 1 patient did not achieve control of hemorrhage. Complete remission (CR) was achieved by 84.2% of cases after immunosuppressive therapy. Steroids alone were less efficient
