Disease severity and age were shown as independent factors affecting health-related quality of life, but inhibitor alone was not an independent influencing factor. Reduced health-related quality of life was also observed in hemophilia patients with higher annual bleeding rate and blood-borne infections. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to these subgroups. Further studies with larger sample size are needed for more accurate results.
