Dataset Information

Similar sports participation as the general population in Dutch persons with haemophilia; results from a nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although sports participation is advocated in people with haemophilia (PWH), detailed data concerning sports participation in Dutch PWH is lacking.

Aim

to assess sports participation in Dutch PWH (6-65 years) compared to the Dutch general population (GP).

Methods

Data from a nationwide, cross-sectional study in PWH were analysed. Sports participation (type, duration, frequency) was assessed by the Modifiable Activities Questionnaire (MAQ), limitations in activities using the (Paediatric) Haemophilia Activities List ((Ped)HAL). Sports in the two highest categories according to the National Hemophilia Foundation classification were considered high-risk sports. Groups were compared using Chi-square testing.
