This study emphasizes OHP and aPTT-CWA as a powerful laboratory diagnostic tool in identifying HA patients with unexpected bleeding presentations, with the best results achieved by combining both assays. Global assays should not completely replace FVIII activity measurement but should be a part of the HA diagnostic algorithm.
