Key Points

Address the emerging intersection of frailty and bleeding disorders by establishing a shared clinical framework between hematologists and geriatricians.
Reviewed clinical concepts of frailty and functional decline within the context of congenital bleeding disorders.
Evaluated the application of standardized geriatric assessment tools for aging individuals with haemophilia.
Highlights that improved life expectancy in haemophilia leads to age-related frailty, complicated by chronic haemophilic arthropathy and pain.
Emphasizes that integrating comprehensive geriatric assessments into routine hematology management improves identification of physical vulnerability and risk of adverse outcomes.
