Popis: The development of inhibitors against factor VIII (FVIII) concentrates is a severe complication of treatment for patients with haemophilia. We investigated annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) in patients in Argentina with haemophilia A with inhibitors and analysed potential differences between treatment strategies. This multicentre, retrospective, real-world data, cohort design study comprised ambulatory paediatric and adult patients with congenital haemophilia A and FVIII inhibitors treated according to standard clinical practice, with 12-months follow-up. Of 69 included patients, 39 (56.5%) received on-demand treatment, 13 (18.8%) received prophylactic treatment, and 17 (24.6%) received immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy. The mean overall ABR was 7.68 ± 8.18, with similar rates for on-demand (8.59 ± 9.69), prophylaxis (5.54 ± 4.71), and ITI (7.24 ± 6.23) subgroups. In the negative binomial regression model, prophylactic treatment [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.21-0.79, P
