Abstract
Background and aims: The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Health Index (CMT-HI) is a disease-specific, patient-reported disease burden measure. As part of an international clinical trial readiness study, individuals with CMT1A (ages 18-75 years) underwent clinical outcome assessments (COAs), including the CMT-HI, to capture their longitudinal perspective on the disease burden.
Methods: Two hundred and fifteen participants underwent serial COAs including the CMT-HI, CMT Functional Outcome Measure (CMT-FOM), CMT Neuropathy Score (CMTNSv2R), and CMT Exam Score (CMTES/CMTES-R). Correlations between the total and subscale scores for the CMT-HI and other COAs were determined. Changes in the CMT-HI scores over 12 months were assessed using paired t-tests. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the CMT-HI and its subscales were calculated by anchoring to a participant global impression of change scale.
Results: At baseline, CMT1A participants were 44.5 ± 15 years old (range: 18-75) and 58% were women. The mean CMT-HI was 25.7 ± 18.8 (range: 0-91.9; 100 reflecting maximal disease burden). The CMT-HI correlated with the CMT-FOM (r = .54, p < .0001), CMTNSv2R (r = .48, p < .0001), and CMTES/CMTES-R (r = .52/r = .54, p < .0001). Disease burden was greater in women than in men (CMT-HI 29.1 ± 19.1 vs. 21.2 ± 17.3, p = .001). Over 12 months, there was a nonsignificant mean increase in CMT-HI of 0.40 ± 10.0 (n = 189, p = .89). The MCID for the CMT-HI total score was 3.8 points (95% CI: 1.7-5.9).
Discussion: Patient-reported disease burden in CMT1A as measured by the CMT-HI is associated with measures of neurologic impairment and physical functioning. Women reported a higher disease burden than men. These data will inform the design of clinical trials in CMT1A.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is the official journal of the Peripheral Nerve Society. Founded in 1996, it is the scientific journal of choice for clinicians, clinical scientists and basic neuroscientists interested in all aspects of biology and clinical research of peripheral nervous system disorders.
The Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality articles on cell and molecular biology, genomics, neuropathic pain, clinical research, trials, and unique case reports on inherited and acquired peripheral neuropathies.
Original articles are organized according to the topic in one of four specific areas: Mechanisms of Disease, Genetics, Clinical Research, and Clinical Trials.
The journal also publishes regular review papers on hot topics and Special Issues on basic, clinical, or assembled research in the field of peripheral nervous system disorders. Authors interested in contributing a review-type article or a Special Issue should contact the Editorial Office to discuss the scope of the proposed article with the Editor-in-Chief.
