Article Synopsis
- Early prophylaxis alone is not sufficient to prevent joint disease in most pediatric patients with hemophilia, as indicated by recent studies.
- A study evaluated the incidence of acute joint disease in 48 children with hemophilia over five years, finding that joint disease increased with age, particularly affecting those beyond high school age.
- Patients regularly followed by specialized hemophilia treatment centers had a significantly lower incidence of joint disease, highlighting the importance of routine check-ups and comprehensive care in managing joint health.
