Measurement of joint health in persons with haemophilia: A systematic review of the measurement properties of haemophilia ‐specific instruments

ConclusionOnly patchy evidence is available on the quality of measurement properties of all haemophilia ‐specific joint health scores. Although significant gaps in the evidence for all instruments remain, measurement properties of the HJHS were most extensively studied and show no drawbacks for use in clinical practice. This review forms the basis for further research aimed at the assessment of meas urement properties of measurement tools to assess joint health.
