CHAPEL HILL, N.C., June 21, 2024 ~ The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) has recently released a groundbreaking clinical practice guideline for the treatment of congenital hemophilia A and B. This guideline, developed over several years by a multidisciplinary panel of physicians and patient representatives from around the world, utilizes strict GRADE methodology to provide a rigorous and structured decision-making framework for clinicians, healthcare professionals, patients, and their caregivers.

Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder caused by deficiencies in blood coagulation factors. It affects hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide and requires complex management strategies. The objective of this guideline is to offer a comprehensive overview of evidence to help inform treatment decisions.

The panel prioritized key clinical questions and outcomes crucial for both clinicians and patients. The recommendations underwent rigorous analyses, including public commentary, to ensure comprehensiveness, transparency, and inclusivity. The result is a set of 13 recommendations addressing critical aspects of hemophilia A and B care.

One of the most significant recommendations advocates for prophylactic treatment over episodic interventions for severe and moderately severe hemophilia A and B. This marks a paradigm shift in clinical practice as it emphasizes the importance of preventing bleeds rather than treating them after they occur.

Dr. Suely M. Rezende, Chair of the ISTH Hemophilia Guideline Panel, stated that "with hemophilia management being complex, our guideline provides clarity, guiding treatment decisions with evidence-based insight while highlighting the importance of considering individual risks, values, and preferences."

To provide further guidance on the interpretation and implementation of the guideline, commentaries have been published alongside it by preeminent experts in the field. These commentaries also address challenges for clinical practice and policy related to hemophilia treatment.
