Global prophylaxis trends in hemophilia: a macroeconomic analysis and its association with world development indicators.

Introduction: Prophylaxis is the recommended management strategy for all persons with hemophilia (PwH), yet its adoption is uneven worldwide.

Areas Covered: This analysis examines global disparities in hemophilia care, focusing on global prophylactic coverage and its correlation with the World Bank's world development indicators. It outlines the disproportionate consumption of clotting factors and non-factor concentrates in high-income countries compared to lower-income counterparts and the challenges of expanding prophylaxis coverage in under-resourced settings.

Development of the World Federation of Hemophilia Shared Decision-Making Tool.

Introduction: The use of shared decision-making (SDM) in clinical settings is becoming more prevalent. The evolving and increasingly complex treatment landscape of haemophilia management has augmented the need and desire for SDM between patients and their healthcare team. SDM tools have been used in other chronic conditions and can be an effective form of education for patients and clinicians.

Development of the coreHEM mental health patient-reported outcome measure - A novel mental health outlook measure for people with haemophilia.

Introduction: Currently, no quality-of-life instrument exists that captures the full experience of the mental health outlook (MHO), a coreHEM core outcome, in people with haemophilia, including the potential transformational experience of receiving gene therapy.

Aim: To describe the methods used to develop a content validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that measures MHO for people with haemophilia.

Methods: A conceptual framework, developed from a literature/evidence review, was used to create an interview guide and draft a questionnaire.

The World Federation of Hemophilia World Bleeding Disorders Registry: insights from the first 10,000 patients.

Background: The prevalence of hemophilia varies globally, with close to 100% of patients diagnosed in high-income countries and as low as 12% diagnosed in lower-income countries. These inequalities in the care of people with hemophilia exist across various care indicators.

Objectives: This analysis aims to describe the clinical care outcomes of patients in the World Bleeding Disorders Registry (WBDR).
