Introduction Emicizumab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that mimics factor VIII (FVIII) by binding to factors IXa and X to promote hemostasis in haemophilia A (HA) and HA with inhibitors (HA-I). As emicizumab differs biochemically from FVIII, there is interest in its real-world haemostatic efficacy. Aim To describe real-world patient experience with emicizumab by retrospective chart review. Methods We reviewed medical records of patients cared for at the Hemophilia Center of Western PA, who initiated emicizumab following its licensure, and on whom bleeding events and factor use were available. Comparisons between groups were done by Student's t test for continuous data and by chi-square or Fisher's exact test for discrete data. Results A total of 42 patients whose charts were reviewed included 18 (42.9%) with HA and 24 (52.1%) with HA-I. Groups were similar in age, 17 (40.5%)
