Abstract: Objective To observe the correlation between the environmental factors of clinical heterogeneity and the severity of bleeding in patients of severe hemophilia A with intron 22 (Inv22) and intron 1 (Inv1) inversion. Methods A retrospective analysis of 63 patients of severe hemophilia A with Inv22 and Inv1 who were enrolled in the Shanxi Hemophilia Management Center from 2009 to 2012 was conducted.The general information, first bleeding age, first joint bleeding age, first treatment age, annualized bleed rate, were recorded in detail. One-way analysis and Logistic regressive were used to analysis the correlation between environmental factors and severity of bleeding. Results Among the 63 patients, the average age was (17.75±8.51) years, the median age was 15 years, the average annual bleeding rate was (77.83±56.43) times per year, and the median annualized bleeding rate was 60 times per year. The age, the first treatment age, and treatment regimen were statistically significant(P<0.05)within univariate analysis. Ordered Logistic regression analysis results showed that patients with first joint bleeding age ≤ 1 years were more likely to suffer from bleeding (OR=13.97, 95% CI:2.32-84.52), the first treatment of patients aged ≤ 1 year was less likely to suffer from bleeding (OR=0.03, 95% CI:0.01-0.49). Conclusion Among the patients of severe hemophilia A with Inv22 and Inv1, patients with the first joint bleeding age of ≤ 1 years were more likely to suffer from bleeding, and patients with age ≤ 1 years were less likely to suffer from bleeding. The first joint bleeding age can be used as an indicator of the severity of bleeding. It is recommended to give an earlier prophylaxis to avoid the occurrence of severe bleeding later.
