What is Quality of life and its predictors among adult patients with haemophilic arthropathy. An observational study about?

## Background Recurrent hemarthrosis that begin in childhood lead to progressive joint deterioration. Patients with haemophilia have chronic pain, functional disability and a reduced perception of health-related quality of life. ## Purpose To analyse the perceived quality of life of adult patients with haemophilic arthropathy and its relationship with pain, joint condition, kinesiophobia and catastrophism. ## Methods Eighty-three adult patients with haemophilia were included in this multicentre, cross-sectional, descriptive study. Perceived quality of life (__36-Item Short Form Health Survey__), perceived usual and maximum pain (visual analogue scale), joint condition (__Haemophilia Joint Health Score__), kinesiophobia (__Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia__) and catastrophism (__Pain Catastrophizing Scale__) were assessed. Sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic variables and drug consumption for pain control were collected. Descriptive statistics used means and standard deviations. The correlation of quality of life with the dependent variables was calculated with the Pearson correlation test. The differences in quality of life as a function of the binomial variables were calculated
