Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="hae2909_1-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p>Hemophilia is a rare disorder that is complex to diagnose and to manage. These evidence‐based guidelines offer practical recommendations on the diagnosis and general management of hemophilia, as well as the management of complications including musculoskeletal issues, inhibitors, and transfusion‐transmitted infections. By compiling these guidelines, the World Federation of Hemophilia aims to assist healthcare providers seeking to initiate and/or maintain hemophilia care programs, encourage practice harmonization around the world and, where recommendations lack adequate evidence, stimulate appropriate studies.</p> </abstract>
