Some problems involved in grading the severity of hemophilia were discussed. No definite correlation existed between the clinical severity of hemophilia and the results of coagulation tests (activity of deficient factors, whole blood clotting time, thromboplastin screening test). There was also no correlation between the presence or absence of oral bleeding or hemarthrosis and the test results. It was concluded that the clinical severity of the disease can be graded more reasonably on the basis of clinical hemorrhagic symptoms than according to the activity of deficient factors.

Simultaneous total hip and knee arthroplasties in hemophilic arthropathy: series of 5 cases.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ege University School of Medicine, Izmir, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to compare preoperative and postoperative measures in haemophiliacs who had simultaneous total hip and knee arthroplasties.
Methods: A retrospective database search identified five patients with severe factor 8 deficiencies who underwent simultaneous hip and knee joint replacement surgery between 2002-2018. Preoperative and postoperative evaluations included Harris Hip Score (HHS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), range of motion, flexion contracture (FC), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), hip-knee angle, and leg length discrepancy.

Haemophilia Infants Gross Motor Development: Comparisons With Full-Term and Preterm Infants of the Same Nationality.

January 2025
Haemophilia Centre/Haemostasis and Thrombosis Unit, "Aghia Sophia" Children's Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Introduction: Infants with haemophilia, due to parental overprotection, have difficulty developing their full motor repertoire of typical gross motor development. It is of great clinical importance to evaluate the motor development of these infants with a standardized assessment tool.
Aim: To study the gross motor development in infants with haemophilia, using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and compare it with full-term (FT) and preterm infants (PT).
