- Abstract
The article discusses the challenges faced by caregivers and clinicians in dealing with both comorbidities and multimorbidities in older adults with severe haemophilia. According to the author, comorbidities and multimorbidities are often a result of chronic intake of multiple drugs or polypharmacy. Arthropathy, osteoporosis and myopathy are typical comorbidities associated with haemophilia; while cardiopulmonary disease, arthritis and cancer are the typical multimorbidities.
