Outcome measures in hemophilia: current and future perspectives.

Bleeding assessment, first annual/annualized bleeding rate, remains central in evaluating the efficacy and safety of hemophilia treatments. As modern therapies improve clinical outcomes toward zero bleeding events, this endpoint may become less sensitive to detect differences between therapeutic approaches. Technological advancements necessitate the adaptation of outcome measures to address infrequent bleeding events, age-related comorbidities, and laboratory parameters with limited comparability after different treatments. Considerable effort has been dedicated to the development of tools that comprehensively assess coagulation, such as thrombin generation assays. Patient-reported outcome measures are gaining importance although limited by their subjectivity. A definitive set of research outcome measures remains elusive. Outcomes may need to be tailored to different therapeutic interventions.
