Joint health status in patients with moderate hemophilia A: a cross-sectional multi-center study
Background
The prevalence of arthropathy in patients with moderate hemophilia A (mHA) is highly variable. People with mHA are often under-treated, and this may lead to joint damage and worsen quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate joint status in mHA by means of point-of-care ultrasound (PoC-US) and clinical examination.
Methods
Consecutive mHA patients receiving on-demand replacement treatment underwent a clinical examination of joint status according to HJHS protocol. On the same day, all patients underwent a PoC-US assessment according to the HEAD-US protocol.
Results
A total of 51 subjects were included. The median HJHS score was 2.0(IQR:0-3.0). A 0-1 HJHS score was found in 23 mHA patients (45.1%), between 2 and 3 in 17 (33.3%) and >3 in 11 (21.6%). The median HEAD-US score was 2.0(IQR:1-7) and a statistically significant correlation between HJHS and HEAD-US was found (rho=0.732, p<0.001). Osteochondral damage was found in 21.6% patients, hypertrophic synovium (HS) was found in 29.4%. Among those reporting a 0-1 HJHS score, 13.0% showed HS. The analysis at joint level showed that the most commonly affected joint was the ankle, both for osteochondral damage and for the presence of hypertrophic synovium.
Conclusion
Our study suggests that the prevalence of arthropathy changes in patients with mHA receiving on-demand treatment is not negligible and that PoC-US is able to detect osteochondral damage as well as HS in this clinical setting. A more extensive screening of the joint status could be useful to tailor treatment and improve outcome in mHA.
