Evaluation of the Reasons and Consequences of Bleeding in Late Teens and Early Adulthood Patients With Severe Hemophilia A

Trial purpose

Understanding how often the bleeding events occur in the subjects who voluntarily decide to switch from prophylaxis to on-demand and in those subjects who remain on prophylaxis. Also look into the consequences of switching treatment in QoL (quality of life), development of target joints, activity level and reasons that might influence the desire to switch.
