Abstract

ABSTRACT: Objective: to analyze epidemiologic profile in patients with blood coagulation disorders registered in a blood

center in the south of Brazil, in 2006. Methodology: descriptive study, cross-sectional, quantitative approach that used

data of 39 records. The variables were described by frequencies and descriptive statistical measures. A value of p<0.05 was

considered for statistics significance. Results: the average age was 21.1 years (SD+/-11.2), 89.8% were male. Most of them

lived in neighboring municipalities, were type A hemophiliac, with the most severe kind of disease and did not present

inhibitor. Twenty-five patients (64.1%) presented clinical features, mainly hemarthroses. Clinical features presented

significant association with the diagnosis of hemophilia A(p=0.01). During 2006, 26 patients (66.7%) received factor

infusion, ranging from 5.000U to more than 40.000U per patient. Conclusion: this study allowed to characterize the

registered patients with blood coagulation disorders and broadened the knowledge on the described pathologies,

emphasizing the importance of nursing care.
