Arthropathy was evaluated by ultrasound (HEAD‐US) and Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS). Results We report on 145 patients: median age 28 years (IQR 13‐52) and 61% MHA. Baseline factor VIII/factor IX activity (FVIII/FIX:C) was 2 IU/dL (median) (IQR 2‐4): lower for MHB (2 IU/dL, IQR 1‐2) than MHA (3 IU/dL, IQR 2‐4) (P
