Abstract
Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) has a deep impact on the quality of life (QoL), yet no specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for ATTR-CA exist.
Methods: The ITALY study involved 5 Italian referral centres (Pisa, Pavia, Ferrara, Florence, Messina) enrolling consecutive outpatients with ATTR-CA.
Results: Two 30-item questionnaires were created for wild-type (wt) and variant (v) ATTR-CA. Scores ranged from 100 (best condition) to 0 (worst condition). Out of 140 patients enrolled (77% with ATTRwt-CA), 115 repeated the re-evaluation at 6 months. At baseline, only 30% of patients needed help to fill out the questionnaires. Among baseline variables, all KCCQ and SF-36 domains were univariate predictors of ITALY scores in ATTRwt-CA patients, with the KCCQ Symptom Summary score (beta coefficient 0.759), Social Limitations (0.781), and Overall summary score (0.786) being the strongest predictors. The SF-36 Emotional well-being score (0.608), the KCCQ Overall summary score (0.656), and the SF-36 Energy/fatigue score (0.669) were the strongest univariate predictors of ITALY scores in ATTRv-CA. Similar results were found at 6 months.
Conclusions: The ITALY questionnaires are the first specific PROMs for ATTRwt- and ATTRv-CA. Questionnaire completion is feasible. ITALY scores display close relationships with non-ATTR-specific measures of QoL.
期刊介绍:
Amyloid: the Journal of Protein Folding Disorders is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the protein groups and associated disorders that are classified as the amyloidoses as well as other disorders associated with abnormal protein folding. The journals major focus points are:
etiology,
pathogenesis,
histopathology,
chemical structure,
nature of fibrillogenesis;
whilst also publishing papers on the basic and chemical genetic aspects of many of these disorders.
Amyloid is recognised as one of the leading publications on amyloid protein classifications and the associated disorders, as well as clinical studies on all aspects of amyloid related neurodegenerative diseases and major clinical studies on inherited amyloidosis, especially those related to transthyretin. The Journal also publishes book reviews, meeting reports, editorials, thesis abstracts, review articles and symposia in the various areas listed above.
