Due to its low prevalence, epidemiologic data on afibrinogenemia are limited and none are available on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a cross-sectional international study to characterize the clinical features, the fibrinogen supplementation modalities and their impact on HRQoL in patients with afibrinogenemia. A total of 204 patients (119 adults and 85 children) from 25 countries were included. The bleeding phenotype was severe: 68 (33.3%) patients having at least one bleed per month and 48 (23%) a history of cerebral bleeding. About 35% (n=72) of patients were treated with fibrinogen concentrates or cryoprecipitates as prophylaxis, 18.1% (n=37) received more than one injection per week and 16.6% (n=34) were on home treatment. A thrombotic event was reported in venous and/or arterial territories by 37 (18.1%) patients. Thrombosis occurred even in young patients and recurrence was frequent (7.4%). The total HRQoL was lower in children than in adults. Discomfort linked to treatment and limitations to sports and leisure were the main concerns. Women and children were particularly affected in family relationships. In multivariate analyses, younger age, residence in Asia or Africa and a previous thrombotic event were statistically correlated with a worse HRQoL. In conclusion, our study underlines the severe bleeding and thrombotic phenotype and their impact on HRQoL in afibrinogenemia. The optimal strategy for fibrinogen supplementation needs to be determined.

The Impact

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by multiple motor and phonic tics and associated behavioural problems, carrying a significant burden on patients' lives. Although the term health related-quality of life (HR-QOL) has only been used in recent years, several studies have long addressed the impact of GTS on physical, psychological and social aspects of wellbeing of both children and adults with GTS. We set out to answer the question "Is HR-QOL affected by GTS and, if so, in what domains?" by conducting a systematic literature review of published original studies addressing HR-QOL in both children and adult patients with GTS. This review focuses on the current evidence on the impact of GTS on patients' lives, mainly informed by studies using generic functional impairment and HR-QOL measures from the last decade, and expands on the new opportunities introduced by the recently developed GTS-specific HR-QOL scales (GTS-QOL and GTS-QOL-C&A). Analysis of the first decade of studies specifically addressing HR-QOL in GTS suggests that co-morbid conditions are key factors in determining HR-QOL in young patients, whilst the picture is more complex in adults with GTS. These findings offer some general directions for both current clinical practice and future research.
