Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemostatic disorders in children, whether congenital or acquired, encompass a broad and complex spectrum of conditions associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Beyond classical bleeding disorders—such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, platelet function abnormalities and vascular or connective tissue syndromes—disturbances of hemostasis may also manifest as thrombotic or microangiopathic complications, including cerebral or venous thromboses, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
The epidemiology and underlying mechanisms of these disorders remain heterogeneous and incompletely elucidated. Recent advances in molecular genetics, biomarker identification and precision diagnostics have profoundly expanded our understanding of the pathways driving both bleeding and thrombosis in pediatric populations.
A comprehensive characterization of hemostatic disorders—from neonatal hemostasis to long-term complications of chronic diseases—requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach involving hematologists, pediatricians, geneticists, immunologists and basic and translational researchers.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, reviews and case reports addressing advances in the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of pediatric hemostatic disorders. Contributions exploring molecular mechanisms, innovative therapeutic approaches and preventive strategies are particularly encouraged.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Children is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
