Popis: The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) conducted a rapid report to assess the therapy of hemophilia patients. Based on a systematic literature search the IQWiG identified 16 studies which show that there is now sufficient information regarding questions that previously lacked data. A benefit assessment of prophylactic and on-demand-treatment concerning different treatment outcomes shows the superiority of the prophylactic therapy regarding major bleedings for all age groups. For the group of youths and adults the analysis shows additional benefits concerning health status and pain within the preceding four weeks. The alignment of guidelines with the identified evidence shows minor correspondence between the guidelines' references and included studies. However, the guidelines' statements primarily correspond with the results of the conducted benefit assessment.The IQWiG's rapid report shows prophylactic therapy to be superior to on-demand therapy. These findings represent a clear indication for attending physicians and payers for prophylaxis in patients with severe hemophilia A.
