Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Type of haemophilia and inhibitor characteristics: Against FVIII or FIX; high or low titre; anamnestic response (high or low responder) [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • 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 [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean orthopaedic score in the 4 groups according to the Pettersson and Haemophilia joint scores [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Usage of anti haemophilic treatment in IU/kg [ Time Frame: During the last year preceding patient recruitment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Quality of Life - EQ-5D (Euro Quality - 5 Domains) questionnaire [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Economic aspects of the management of haemophiliacs and its burden on patient/family and community resources [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Living characteristics of the patient's household [ Time Frame: After 6 months (recruitment and data collection) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
