How do you know if you bleed normally? Scientists at The Rockefeller University Hospital`s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) aim to answer that question more definitively with the launch of an assessment tool designed to help physicians and researchers more accurately determine what is inside and outside the normal range of bleeding symptoms. The Phenotype Recording and Analysis Tool (PRAT), a Web-based questionnaire designed by Physician in Chief Barry S. Coller, Clinical Scholar Andreas C. Mauer and their colleagues, is the subject of a new pilot study that may change the way we diagnose and deal with bleeding disorders.
