Treatment of acquired hemophilia A, a balancing act:results from a 27-year Dutch cohort study
Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a severe auto-immune bleeding disorder. Treatment of AHA is burdensome and optimal management is still unresolved.

Multivariate logistic and Cox regression analysis was used to study independent associations between patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. A total of 143 patients (median age 73 years; 52.4% male) were included with a median follow-up of 16.8 months (IQR 3.6-41... Mehr ...

Therefore a retrospective nationwide multi-center cohort study (1992-2018) was performed to evaluate clinical presentation and treatment efficacy and safety of AHA in the Netherlands. Multivariate logistic and Cox regression analysis was used to study independent associations between patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. A total of 143 patients (median age 73 years; 52.4% male) were included with a median follow-up of 16.8 months (IQR 3.6-41.5 months). First-line immunosuppressive treatment was mostly steroid monotherapy (67.6%), steroids/cyclophosphamide (11.9%) and steroids/rituximab (11.9%), with success rates of 35.2%, 80.0% and 66.7% respectively, P
