Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models

TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.

Twenty-five years' experience of prophylactic treatment in severe haemophilia A and B

TL;DR: It appears to be possible to prevent haemophilic arthropathy by giving effective continuous prophylaxis from an early age, and preventing the VIII:C or IX:C concentration from falling below 1% of normal.

A longitudinal study of orthopaedic outcomes for severe factor‐VIII‐deficient haemophiliacs

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that no direct relationship exists between increasing factor dosage and orthopaedic outcomes over time and optimal therapeutic regimens for persons with haemophilia are established.

Primary prophylaxis in severe haemophilia should be started at an early age but can be individualized.

TL;DR: The frequency of joint bleeds and orthopaedic joint scores were evaluated in 121 patients with severe haemophilia who had started prophylactic treatment with clotting factor concentrates at least once weekly before the age of 10.
