Hemophilia A. Hemophilia B. Factor VIII.Abstract
Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by deficiencies in clotting factors VIII or IX due to genetic mutations. Brazil ranks fourth worldwide in prevalence, with approximately 12,400 individuals affected, 36.1% of whom have severe forms. This study aims to assess the prevalence of hemophilia A and B in Brazil during 2021, using data from the Hemovida Web Coagulopathies platform. Additionally, it seeks to correlate these data with the distribution of factor VIII concentrate by region, state, sex, and age. The methodology used was descriptive, with statistical analysis of diagnoses and treatment distribution, aiming to identify disparities in access to therapy and to contribute to the improvement of public policies aimed at rare diseases.
