Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Patients with other congenital or acquired hemostatic abnormalities - Very low response to DDAVP after 1 hour – absolute increase in FVIII 0.2 BU) in medical history or preoperatively, unless successfully treated with immunotolerance therapy - Contraindications for DDAVP, e.g. cardiovascular disease (see appendix IV) - Use of co-medication that has an interaction with DDAVP (see appendix IV) - Intolerance to previous DDAVP administrations - DDAVP not advisable due to the type of surgery according to the hematologist and/or surgeon

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the proportion of mild hemophilia A patients within FVIII target levels with the DDAVP and FVIII concentrate combination treatment in the first 72 hours postoperatively, without adding off-protocol FVIII concentrate. ;Secondary Objective: 1. To acquire data to improve the population based PK-model for perioperative DDAVP and FVIII concentrate combination treatment in mild hemophilia A patients. 2. To establish (possible) adverse events of combination treatment; e,g, side effects of DDAVP, bleeding episodes, development of neutralizing antibodies, thrombotic events. 3. To establish the proportion of mild hemophilia A patients that reaches FVIII target levels with the DDAVP and FVIII concentrate combination treatment preoperatively. 4. To establish the amount of off-protocol FVIII concentrates required. 5. To evaluate the intra-individual reproducibility of DDAVP response. 6. To evaluate DDAVP tachyphylaxis and its extent. 7. To perform an economical evaluation to quantify the potential cost reduction of the combination treatment. 8. To evaluate the experienced quality of care in participating patients ;Primary end point(s): The main endpoint will be the proportion of patients within FVIII target levels with DDAVP and FVIII concentrate combination treatment in the first 72 hours after surgery, without adding off-protocol FVIII concentrates. Off-protocol FVIII concentrates are defined as every extra dosage that is necessary to reach the target level, but was not in the original dosing advice. A patient is considered to meet the main endpoint if all pre-DDAVP measurements in the first 72 hours after surgery are within the target levels. The total number of measurements used for this purpose are 2 in patients with a treatment duration of 48 hours or 3 if treatment duration is more than 48 hours. The measurements for the primary endpoint are marked in appendix VII. If one measurement is below or above the limits of the target range, this pati | — |
