Inhibitors affect approximately 30% of patients with severe hemophilia A. In addition to substantial treatment and medical costs, patients with hemophilia who have inhibitors are twice as likely to be hospitalized for a bleeding complication. This educational activity addresses risk factors for inhibitor development, testing and monitoring strategies, the role of immune tolerance induction, and the use of bypassing agents in the setting of an inhibitor.
