Regional variations and trends in hemophilia prevalence: A global analysis with future projection.
Article in PLOS global public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by impaired blood clotting. Studying its prevalence, trends, and projections is vital for healthcare planning, resource allocation, patient outcomes, and understanding the disease's current status and future outlook. This study assessed hemophilia prevalence, trends, and future projections across global regions. This retrospective study used World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) Global Survey data to estimate prevalence per 100,000 populations with 95% CIs via bootstrap resampling. Temporal trends were assessed with linear regression, joinpoint analysis identified significant changes, and future prevalence was projected by linear extrapolation. The global prevalence of hemophilia increased from 2.75 to 3.75 per 100,000 between 2014 and 2023. Europe had the highest prevalence, rising from 7.14 to 9.16, followed by the Americas (3.93-6.03), Asia (1.56-2.57), and Africa (1.60-1.80). Significant upward trends were observed in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Country-level peaks were reported in Macedonia (22.02), Canada (10.79), Georgia (9.63), and Mauritius (7.30) within their respective continents. Trend changes were observed in 2015 globally, 2018 in the Americas, and 2020 in Europe and Asia, with prevalence projected to reach 9.66 in Europe, 6.17 in the Americas, 3.12 in Asia, and 4.87 globally by 2030.Global hemophilia prevalence has increased over the past decade, with the highest rates observed in Europe. Rising trends in Europe, the Americas, and Asia are likely driven by multifactorial influences, including improved diagnostic capabilities, increased awareness, enhanced data collection, advances in treatment, and improved survival. With projected growth by 2030, strengthened surveillance, expanded diagnostics, equitable care, and targeted strategies in high-prevalence regions are essential to reduce future burden.
