Background: People with hemophilia often experience pain and suffer from comorbidities related to their bleeding disorder. Consequently, unemployment due to disability is prevalent among people with hemophilia.
Objectives: To explore associations between unemployment due to disability and treatment while adjusting for known risk factors for unemployment.
Ageing people with hemophilia (PWH) have a higher prevalence of hypertension than the general population. This study aimed to determine whether macroscopic hematuria was associated with hypertension in PWH in a post hoc analysis using data from a cross-sectional study conducted by the ADVANCE Working Group (the H3 study), which included PWH ≥ 40 years of age. Data from 16 contributing centers, located in 13 European countries and Israel, were analyzed using logistic regression models.

Introduction: Macroscopic hematuria is considered a significant risk factor for urologic disease, and it is highly prevalent in people with hemophilia.
Aim: To determine whether prophylactic factor replacement therapy is associated with reduced occurrence of macroscopic hematuria in people with hemophilia in a post hoc analysis using data from a cross-sectional study conducted by the Age-Related Developments and Comobordities in Hemophilia (ADVANCE) Working Group that included males with hemophilia ≥40 years of age.
Methods: Data from 16 contributing centers, in 13 European countries and Israel, were analyzed using logistic regression.
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is frequently seen in the hemophilia population. The ADVANCE Working Group conducted a cross-sectional study in which people with hemophilia (PWH) aged ≥40 years were included. This study aimed to assess the associations between CLD and its risk factors using data from the H3 study, and to suggest implications for optimal care.
