- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The total annualised bleeding rate (tABR) during prophylactic treatment with wilate: the tABR will be calculated as the total number of spontaneous bleeds, traumatic bleeds, and other bleeds occurring in the time period between the first prophylactic dose of wilate and the Study Completion Visit, divided by the duration (in years) between the first prophylactic dose of wilate and the Study Completion Visit. Bleeding episodes occurring within surgery periods will be excluded from the calculation of tABR. In addition to the estimates of the tABR exploratory 95% CIs will be calculated from a Poisson regression model
