Descriptive Information
Brief Title A Study of the Impact of Hemophilia and Its Treatment on Brain Development, Thinking and Behaviour in Children With Hemophilia
Official Title Evolving Treatment of Hemophilia's Impact on Neurodevelopment, Intelligence and Other Cognitive Functions (eTHINK)
Brief Summary The Hemophilia Growth and Development Study (HGDS) nearly 25 years ago showed haemophilia and HIV impacted brain development, thinking, and behaviour in children and adolescents. The eTHINK study is designed to understand whether advances in hemophilia treatment have removed any impact of hemophilia. If there still is an impact of hemophilia, the eTHINK study will help to identify which children or adolescents are still at risk, and how to screen other children. Participants and their child will participate in a comprehensive assessment of child's brain development, thinking and behavior through completing tests and questionnaires. There is only one study visit of 1 to 1.5 hours with no follow-up required
Detailed Description Not Provided
Study Type Observational
Study Design Observational Model: Ecologic or Community
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
Target Follow-Up Duration Not Provided
Biospecimen Not Provided
Sampling Method Non-Probability Sample
Study Population Children and young adults with hemophilia A or B, all severities
Condition
  • Haemophilia A
  • Haemophilia B
Intervention Other: No treatment given
The participants will undergo a brief physical examination focused on neurologic function (muscle function, sensation, coordination, walking). Parents will be asked by the study team or the psychologist about their children and will complete several commonly used standard surveys about brain development, thinking, behavior, and decision making. The participants will also engage with the psychologist to evaluate development or thinking (IQ), and depending on their age they may be asked to complete one or more commonly used standard surveys about behavior and decision making.
Study Groups/Cohorts Patients with hemophilia
Children and young adults with hemophilia A or B, all severities, treated in the hemophilia treatment center (comprehensive care) setting, including participation of caregivers/parents completing questionnaires designed to evaluate neurologic, neurocognitive and neurobehavioral function and development.
Intervention: Other: No treatment given
