Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier analysis of implant survival.
A: Kaplan-Meier analysis of implant survival of all 90 knee replacements in bleeding disorder patients. The gray area shows 95% confidence limits. No at risk: Number at risk; B: Implant survival according to subgroups of patients: HA: Hemophilia A; HB: Hemophilia B; VWD: Von Willebrand disease.
Figure 2 Functional outcomes following knee replacement.
A: Total Hungerford knee score between inherited bleeding disorder (BD) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients; B: Comparison of walking ability score between BD and OA patients. BD: Bleeding disorder; OA: Osteoarthritis.
Figure 3 Health-related quality of life according to the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey-dimensions health survey in 39 bleeding disorder patients.
Age- and gender-matched healthy controls from the study by Aalto et al[21] are shown by the dotted line. Whiskers show 95% confidence intervals.
