- Abstract
This article examines the relationship between obesity and chronic pain in patients with haemophilia. The study used data from the American Thrombosis and Haemostasis Network to analyze the connection between obesity, adverse joint outcomes, and chronic pain. Additionally, the researchers reviewed electronic health record data from two haemophilia treatment centers to investigate the impact of obesity on chronic pain medication use. The findings indicate that obesity does not increase the risk of joint surgeries, but more research is necessary to fully comprehend the link between obesity and chronic pain in haemophilia patients. The study emphasizes the need for further research to assess the effects of obesity on factors such as quality of life, functional status, factor use, and healthcare utilization in haemophilia patients.
