Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR)
Annualized bleeding rate was calculated as the number of bleeds divided by the treatment interval duration (enrollment visit to final visit) and then multiplied by 365.25. If there was more than 1 bleed location (like ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as 1 bleed occurrence.
Time frame: 2 years
Total Number of Infusions to Treat a New Bleed Classified on Basis of Response to First On-Demand Treatment With Refacto AF
Number of infusions of Refacto AF required to treat a new bleed were classified on basis of the response to at 4-point response scale of assessment (excellent, good, moderate and no response). Assessment was completed each time a participant experienced a new bleed requiring an 'on-demand' IV infusion. Excellent: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hours (hr) after infusion, no additional infusion administered; Good: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hr after infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution or with no additional infusion administered; Moderate: probable or slight improvement starting after 8 hr following infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution; No Response: no improvement at all between infusions or during 24 hr interval following infusion or condition worsen. Bleeds for which response not recorded, reported as: Data Not Recorded.
Time frame: 2 years
Total Number of Infusions Needed for Resolution of Bleeding Episodes Classified on Basis of Response to Study Drug Infusion
