The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic treatment with recombinant Factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) and recombinant Factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) therapy as assessed by patient treatment burden and health economic outcomes while maintaining disease control in males with hemophilia A or B.

Annualized number of injections for prophylactic treatment with a Factor VIII or Factor IX replacement product
Time frame: Month 2 to month 14

Time frame: Month 2 to month 14
Change in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)
TSQM V2 is a 11-item instrument designed to measure participants' satisfaction with medication within the past 2 to 3 weeks, or since their last medication use. Treatment satisfaction is assessed through side effects, effectiveness, convenience, and global satisfaction scale domains.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Hemophilia Activities List (HAL)
HAL is an instrument designed to measure and quantify a participant's perceived functional ability to perform activities in daily life. The HAL consists of 42 multiple choice questions within seven domains: lying/sitting/kneeling/standing, function of legs, function of arms, use of transportation, self-care, household tasks, and leisure activities.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Validated Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale-Prophylaxis (VERITAS-Pro)
VERITAS-Pro is a 24-item questionnaire designed to measure treatment adherence through six sub-scales: Time, Dose, Plan, Remember, Skip, and Communicate. Each question is quantified on a 5-point Likert scale ("Always" to "Never") that correlates with a numeric score from 1 to 5, where higher scores indicate lower treatment adherence.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale
Wong-Baker Faces Scale is a 1-item questionnaire consisting of six facial caricatures, each depicting a different level of current perceived pain intensity, ranging from a score of 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater pain.

Standard plasma-derived (pd) or recombinant (r) FIX concentrate and other traditional treatment options
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Work Productivity and Impairment Questionnaire plus Classroom Impairment Questions: Hemophilia Specific (WPAI+CIQ:HS)
WPAI and classroom impairment questionnaire version is a 9-item questionnaire designed to measure hemophilia-related impairment in work, school, and activity level within the past 7 days. Visual analogue scales and fill-in responses are used to compute scores for absenteeism, impairment at work/school, losses in work/school productivity, and activity impairment based on scoring algorithms and presented as impairment percentages. Higher percentages indicate greater disease-related impairment
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Missed planned activity and productivity
The purpose of these free standing questions are to capture any missed activities due to hemophilia that are not captured in other questionnaires included in the study, especially among children and adolescents.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Change in Caregiver burden
The purpose of this survey is to assess how the intensive nature of caring for a hemophilia patient affects caregiver burden, providing scores on the following scales: Emotional burden, financial burden, lifestyle, social burden, and positive emotions. This will be completed by caregivers of children and adolescents younger than 18 years of age.
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
Number of inpatient and outpatient healthcare visits
Number of hospitalizations and number of emergency room visits or number of physician outpatient clinic visits
Time frame: Baseline to 14 months
