Özet
This survey study aimed to evaluate the level of awareness and knowledge of acquired hemophilia A (AHA) among physicians from various specialties. Data were collected by administering a questionnaire containing questions about two patient profiles to evaluate the approaches of physicians from different specialties. The study included a total of 945 physicians. The most common suspected diagnosis for the clinical patient profile was immune thrombocytopenia, followed by hemophilia. For the laboratory patient profile, the most common suspected diagnosis was hemophilia. While only 9.4% of the physicians stated that they had good knowledge of this disease, only 21.6% wanted to learn more about AHA. Most of the participating physicians do not rank AHA first in the differential diagnosis of a patient with clinical and laboratory findings of AHA. Appropriate educational activities to raise awareness of AHA will help reduce disease-related morbidity and mortality.
