Here, "n"= number of participants with available data for each category.

To assess annual consumption of factor concentrates, calculations were based on prescription date as start of use and the day before the next prescription as the last date of use of the factor concentrates retrieved. The annual number of dispensed units of factor concentrate were then summed up of all dispensed units of factor concentrate with periods within the calendar year plus estimates of average daily use periods extending over two years. Data at end of every year was based on the number of dispensed units of factor concentrate during the last 3 years.

Gilbert joint score was an instrument to measure joint health in the domain of body structure and function (i.e. impairment), of the joints most commonly affected by bleeding in haemophilia - knees, ankles, elbows. Total score ranged from 0-100, evaluating ankle, knee and elbow, where "0" indicated normal joint function, "100" indicated worst joint function, where higher values indicated more impairment in joints.
