Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18 years and older with hemophilia A or B, currently receiving treatment at the Hemophilia Treatment Center Nijmegen-Eindhoven-Maastricht, Nijmegen location. Patients with severe (<1 IU/dL FVIII or FIX), moderate (1-5 IU/ dL FVIII or FIX), or mild (>5-40 IU/dL FVIII or FIX) hemophilia are eligible for inclusion. Hemophilia carriers aged 18 years and older, currently receiving treatment at the Hemophilia Treatment Center Nijmegen-Eindhoven-Maastricht, Nijmegen location. Carriers with a confirmed hemophilic mutation are eligible for inclusion. Patients aged 18 years and older with a fibrinolytic disorder, currently receiving treatment at the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Nijmegen-Eindhoven Maastricht, Nijmegen location. A fibrinolytic disorder is defined as: PAI-1 deficiency: PAI-1 antigen level below the lower limit of normal (< 3.4 ng/ml), or; Hyperfibrinolysis: either an elevated ECLT ratio (before and after venous compression) > 5.6 or a ECLT before venous compression of < 116 min. Patients aged 18 years and older diagnosed with a BDUC, currently receiving treatment at the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Nijmegen-Eindhoven-Maastricht, Nijmegen location. A bleeding disorder of unknown cause is defined by two main criteria: an increased bleeding tendency, either based on the physician’s clinical assessment and/ or an elevated clinical bleeding score (ISTH BAT), and the absence of abnormalities in available laboratory tests.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the association between: Thrombin and plasmin generation profiles, parameters reflecting the severity of the bleeding disorder, such as factor (F)VIII or FIX activity levels, PAI-1 antigen, a2AP activity levels, tPA levels, and euglobulin clot lysis time, and the clinical bleeding phenotype (ISTH BAT score, bleeding severity, annual bleeding rate, additional factor concentrate, joint status, age and reason for diagnosis). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Additionally, the study will examine the relationship between thrombin and plasmin generation and the quality of life. | — |
