Women and girls with hemophilia | Virtual Summit 2020

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In this session from the WFH 2020 Virtual Summit, Roseline d’Oiron, Sarah O’Brien and Andra James discuss issues on women and girls with hemophilia (WGWH), including female carriers with low levels of FVIII or FIX and/or bleeding experiences. The key points that will be covered are the importance of early diagnosis during childhood of affected girls, the management and treatment of the bleeding risk despite a large variability in phenotype expression, the joint health and the way to secure both maternal and fetal bleeding risks during pregnancy, delivery and the post-partum period.
