Predictors of quality of life among adolescents and young adults with a bleeding disorder

Table 1 Respondent characteristics (n = 108)

^aMost (73%) of non-white respondents were black or African American, 14% were mixed race, 9% were Asian, and 5% were American Indian or Alaskan Native
^bn = 78, two respondents answered ‘Don’t know’ as to whether or not they had health insurance, and were not included
^cOnly two respondents had VA only insurance, the others had Medicaid only
^dChronic pain was measured using the revised Faces Pain Scale (FPS-R) and was dichotomized as FPS-R < 4 (i.e., ‘mild’ or ‘no pain) and FPS-R ≥4 (ie, ‘moderate’ to ‘worst pain possible’)
^eAdherence was assessed using the Validated Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale (VERITAS)-Pro and VERITAS-PRN for prophylactic and on-demand participants, respectively. The cutoff for non-adherent prophylactic participants was a total VERITAS-Pro score ≥57 as established in previously by Duncan and colleagues [25]. This value was chosen because the VERITAS-Pro cutoff was approximately the 75th percentile of all responses
