Data are presented as median (interquartile range), unless otherwise specified.

aIn all patients, either historically lowest VWF:Ag, VWF:Ab, or VWF:CB was below 0.30 IU/mL.

bCentrally measured in the WiN study.

cNormal ratio <1.9.

dNormal ratio <2.2. Independent t-test for continuous variables and chi-square for categorical variables.

VWD = von Willebrand disease.
