This review aims to synthesize the literature on the delivery of hematologic and thrombovascular care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals, focusing on care gaps and patient experiences.
Conducted a scoping literature review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Searched MEDLINE, Embase, EmCare, and PsycINFO for studies on hematologic or thrombovascular care in TGD populations.
Included qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies with 31 articles meeting inclusion criteria.
Identified four themes: narrow biomedical framing of thrombovascular risk, variability in clinical decision-making, patient-reported barriers, and limited provider training.
Found gaps in evidence about longitudinal management, shared decision-making, and interdisciplinary care models.
Emphasized a substantial need for inclusive clinical guidance and consensus-building initiatives.
