Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized clinical trial of prophylaxis in children with hemophilia A (the ESPRIT Study)
TL;DR: Prophylaxis was more effective when started early (≤36 months), with patients having fewer joint bleeds and arthropathy in children with hemophilia, particularly when it is initiated early in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
An MRI scale for assessment of haemophilic arthropathy from the International Prophylaxis Study Group.
Björn Lundin,M L Manco-Johnson,Danial M Ignas,Rahim Moineddin,Victor S. Blanchette,Amy L. Dunn,Sridhar Gibikote,Shyamkumar N. Keshava,Rolf Ljung,Marilyn J. Manco-Johnson,Stephen F. Miller,Georges-Etienne Rivard,Andrea Doria +12 more
TL;DR: The new MRI scale is simpler to apply than the older and has similar reader reliability and correlation with lifetime number of haemarthroses, and by separating soft tissue and osteochondral changes it gives additional information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compatible scales for progressive and additive MRI assessments of haemophilic arthropathy
Björn Lundin,Paul Babyn,Andrea S. Doria,Ray F. Kilcoyne,Rolf Ljung,Stephen F. Miller,Rachelle Nuss,Georges-Etienne Rivard,Holger Pettersson +8 more
TL;DR: The use of these two compatible scales for progressive and additive MRI assessments can facilitate international comparison of data and enhance the accumulation of experience on MRI scoring of haemophilic arthropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new magnetic resonance imaging scoring method for assessment of haemophilic arthropathy.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that MRI can be useful for semiquantitative evaluation of haemophilic arthropathy, providing the examination is performed according to an appropriate protocol, and the images are evaluated by specially trained radiologists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of late prophylaxis in hemophilia on joint status: a randomized trial.
Marilyn J. Manco-Johnson,Björn Lundin,Stefan Funk,C. Peterfy,D. Raunig,Michael Werk,Christine L. Kempton,Mark T. Reding,Stefcho Goranov,Liana Gercheva,L. Rusen,Valentina Uscatescu,M. Pierdominici,S. Engelen,J. Pocoski,D. Walker,W. Hong +16 more
TL;DR: SPINART was a 3‐year randomized clinical trial of late/tertiary prophylaxis vs on‐demand therapy that improved function, quality of life, activity and pain but not joint structure by MRI.
