Missing data were imputed using multiple logistic regression methods. Risk associated with each additional year. Data are adjusted for ethnic group, age at first exposure to factor VIII, year of first factor VIII exposure, center of first treatment, FH of hemophilia, FH of inhibitors, intensive treatment at first treatment, and FVIII genotype (adjusted for high/low risk as defined in “Methods”).
