Desmopressin (DDAVP) results in a temporary impravement in hemostasis and is therefore a treatment option in patients with bleeding disorders. lt is more readily available and less expensive than treatment with coagulation factor concentrates, by which a patient's lacking coagulation factor is substituted.

This makes it an attractive treatment option especially for countries with limited resources. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the (side) effects and outcome of hemostatic treatment, specifically desmopressin in patients with bleeding disorders.
