The mean total daily IDet dose at baseline and Week 24 is presented in units of U/day and U/kg for each group. Dosing frequency of IDet at baseline and Week 24 is summarized and presented as once daily, twice daily, thrice daily and >thrice daily. As this was a non-interventional study, data collection was based on the number of patients that reported dose details at baseline and Week 24
