Key Data Points
Data from two burden of illness studies (CHESS EU I-II and CHESS US/US+) were used in a generalized linear model (GLM), with log link to evaluate the association between ABR and FIX expression levels (FEL) in patients with hemophilia B. Across all patients included in the analysis (N = 407), the mean FEL (SD) was 9.95 IU/dL (10.5) and the mean ABR (SD) was 2.4 bleeds/year (3.6). The predicted bleeds as a function of FEL produced by the model are shown above. After adjusting for age, BMI, and blood-borne viruses, the average ABR in the model decreased by 0.8 units for each 1% increase in FEL (P < 0.001).
