Clinical phenotype, fibrinogen supplementation, and health-related quality of life in patients with afibrinogenemia

Due to the low prevalence of afibrinogenemia, epidemiologic data on afibrinogenemia are limited, and no data 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 �1 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 summary, 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.

Analysis of 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia.

Pregnancy in women with inherited thrombocytopenias is a major matter of concern as both the mothers and the newborns are potentially at risk of bleeding. However, medical management of this condition cannot be based on evidence because of the lack of consistent information in the literature. To advance knowledge on this matter, we performed a multicentric, retrospective study evaluating 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Neither the degree of thrombocytopenia nor the severity of bleeding tendency worsened during pregnancy and the course of pregnancy did not differ from that of healthy subjects in terms of miscarriages, fetal bleeding and pre-term births. The degree of thrombocytopenia in the babies was similar to that in the mother. Only 7 of 156 affected newborns had delivery-related bleeding, but 2 of them died of cerebral hemorrhage. The frequency of delivery-related maternal bleeding ranged from 6.8% to 14.2% depending on the definition of abnormal blood loss, suggesting that the risk of abnormal blood loss was increased with respect to the general population. However, no mother died or had to undergo hysterectomy to arrest bleeding. The search for parameters predicting delivery-related bleeding in the mother suggested that hemorrhages requiring blood transfusion were more frequent in women with history of severe bleedings before pregnancy and with platelet count at delivery below 50 7 10(9)/L
