SUMMARY Objective of the study. To investigate the specific features of the prevalence level of hemophilia in the economic and administrative regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Materials and methods. The study used data from the hemophilia registry for the following economic regions: Lankaran, Nakhchivan, Sheki-Zagatala, and Guba-Khachmaz, as well as their administrative districts. The prevalence rate of hemophilia (per 100,000 population) was determined by age groups (0–4, 5–13, 14–18, 19–44, ≥45 years). The age-related dynamics were described using a polynomial equation. Results. The prevalence level of hemophilia ranges from 7.5±0.90/100,000 to 10.8±1.40/100,000 (p<0.05) in economic regions, and from 1.8±1.80/100,000 to 22.2±7.40/100,000 (p<0.05) in administrative districts. Depending on the age group, the prevalence of hemophilia varies from “0” to 27.0±11.00/100,000. Conclusions. In the Nakhchivan, Lankaran, Sheki-Zagatala, and Guba-Khachmaz economic regions, hemophilia is less prevalent (≤10.8±1.1 vs. 17.2±0.4/100,000) compared to the country as a whole. In the Sheki, Yardimli, Shabran, and Siyazan districts, the prevalence of hemophilia is relatively high (≥11.8/100,000). The age-related trend of hemophilia prevalence observed in the economic regions does not follow a single direction and is described by regression equations with good approximation.
