What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Type of haemophilia and inhibitor characteristics: Against FVIII or FIX; high or low titre; anamnestic response (high or low responder)

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)

  2. Clinical (using Haemophilia joint score) and radiological (using Pettersson score) orthopaedic status of defined joints: Elbow, knees and ankles in relation to haemophilia A or B

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean orthopaedic score in the 4 groups according to the Pettersson and Haemophilia joint scores

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)

  2. Usage of anti haemophilic treatment in IU/kg

    Measured: During the last year preceding patient recruitment

  3. Quality of Life - EQ-5D (Euro Quality - 5 Domains) questionnaire

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)

  4. Economic aspects of the management of haemophiliacs and its burden on patient/family and community resources

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)

  5. Living characteristics of the patient's household

    Measured: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection)
