Living with a “hemophilia-free mind” – The new ambition of hemophilia care?

摘要

Despite the numerous and groundbreaking therapeutic advances made in the field of hemophilia over the past decades and particularly in recent years, hemophilia remains a disease that has a major impact on the daily lives of our patients, through the multiple complications and burdensome treatments it imposes. The disease burden is not only physical but also psychological and is difficult to evaluate solely by questionnaires and scores. In this article, we propose to examine the absence of psychological burden and of permanent thoughts about the disease and its complications in people with hemophilia as a new ambition that should guide hemophilia care and research in the future.
