RESUMEN
Background: This study aimed to gather data on physical activity (PA), bleeding, health-related quality of life, and health status, using a wearable device and an electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) app, in individuals with moderate or severe hemophilia A (HA) without inhibitors receiving treatment according to the clinical practice. Methods: This is a 12-month multicenter cohort study conducted in Italy. The primary outcomes included the description of PA by type and intensity, adherence to World Health Organization guidelines, bleeding, and health-related quality of life by EQ-5D questionnaire. PA data were collected continuously through a fitness tracker worn by the patient; all the other variables were collected through ePRO questionnaires. Results: Only 54 of the 103 enrolled subjects (52.4%) used their fitness tracker for the defined valid period; adolescents were the least compliant age group. PA was performed at low rates and intensity. Approximately 52% of the subjects had sedentary behavior. The mean EQ-5D values did not change over time. At least one bleeding was reported in 43.7% of the subjects, mostly with sedentary behavior. The PA in the 2 days preceding the bleeding was comparable to the one observed in the overall observational period. Conclusions: The systematic recording of data through a fitness tracker and ePRO app shows that subjects with HA without inhibitors have lower-than-expected PA and that they still experience issues related to bleeding.
