Including 2 joints of 1 patient with severe hemophilia treated on demand, and 3 joints of 1 patient with moderate hemophilia on prophylaxis.

P value for comparison of patients with severe hemophilia on prophylaxis/patients with moderate hemophilia treated on demand, adjusted for clustering of joints within patients.
