ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive functions in children and young adults with hemophilia treated according to contemporary standards of care. STUDY DESIGN: Evolving Treatment of Hemophilia's Impact on Neurodevelopment, Intelligence, and Other Cognitive Functions (eTHINK) is a US-based, prospective, cross-sectional, observational study (September 2018 through October 2019). Males (aged 1-21 years) with hemophilia A or B of any severity, with or without inhibitors, were eligible. Participants underwent neurologic examinations and age-appropriate neuropsychological assessments, including standardized tests/ratings scales of early development, cognition, emotional/behavioral adjustment, and adaptive skills. RESULTS: Five hundred and fifty-one males with hemophilia A (n = 433) or B (n = 101) were enrolled. Performance on cognitive tests was largely comparable with that of age-matched US population norms, although participants in certain age groups (4-5 and 10-21 years) performed worse on measures of attention and processing speed. Furthermore, adolescents and young adults and those with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 64) reported more adaptive and executive function problems in daily life. Incidence of ADHD in adolescents (21%) was higher than expected in the general population. CONCLUSIONS: In general, males with hemophilia demonstrated age-appropriate intellectual, behavioral, and adaptive development. However, specific patient/age groups showed poorer attention performance and concerns for executive and adaptive development. This study established a normative data set for monitoring neurodevelopment in individuals with hemophilia and highlight the importance of screening and intervention for challenges with cognitive and adaptive skills in this population.
