Emicizumab in Severe Hemophilia A: Clinical and Patient Determinants of Transition Within a Standardized Program

Tables

↓  Table 1. Characteristics of the Transitioned Population of PWHA Included in the Standardized Transition to Emicizumab at the Adult Bleeding Disorders Program of British Columbia/Yukon
 
Characteristic All (n = 69)
PWHA: patients with severe hemophilia A; PROBE: Patient-Reported Outcomes, Burdens and Experiences; IQR: interquartile range; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; HCV: hepatitis C virus.
Age (years) at time of drug availability, median (IQR) 31 (26, 40)
> 2 h by car from Vancouver, n (%) 25 (36.2)
Hemophilic arthropathy (6 joints involved), n (%)
  0 - 1 joints 36 (52.2)
  2 - 4 joints 29 (42.0)
  5 or more joints affected 4 (5.8)
HIV, n (%) 10 (14.5)
HCV (chronic diagnosis), n (%) 23 (34.3)
If HCV - cleared, n (%) 21 (95.5)
Filled out EQ5D/PROBE survey, n (%) 52 (75.4)
Composite EQ5D, median (IQR) 0.854 (0.714, 0.942)
Composite PROBE score, median (IQR) 0.791 (0.650, 0.907)
