Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemophilia diagnosis and treatment have evolved significantly in the recent twenty years. Increasing attention is being paid to the burden of illness, quality of life, and treatment preferences for individuals with this disorder. While principal outcomes frequently measure bleeds, joint arthropathy, and pain, other quality-of-life considerations may be important to patients. Most importantly, there is recognition that this disorder affects individuals across the globe, including women who have been under-recognized with hemophilia. Moreover, international efforts have advocated for broader treatment and treatment options.
With the development of a variety of new treatments, it is essential to develop and assess research on treatment outcomes. In addition to clinical trials, observational studies can provide insights into treatment effects and predictors of success. The focus of this Special Issue is to report on new areas of treatment, new measurements being used to identify treatment effects, and treatment outcomes. This Issue will also consider the potential impacts of treatments presently under development and how clinicians may adopt them.
