Factor first! Emergency department management of persons with hemophilia: a single-center study.
Background: Timely hemostatic therapy is essential when persons with hemophilia (PwH) present to the emergency department (ED), with guidelines recommending treatment at the time a bleed is suspected ('Factor First' strategy).
Research design and methods: This study examined ED management of PwH in Southern Alberta from 2014 to 2022, focusing on adherence to guidelines.
Results: A total of 393 ED visits from 191 adults with hemophilia A or B were identified. Most visits (86%) required emergent or urgent care. Median times from ED registration to ordering and administering hemostatic therapy were 2.9 and 4.2 hours, respectively, with treatment given within 2 hours in a minority of cases. Laboratory tests were ordered in nearly half of visits, with a median ordering time of 65 minutes. Use of individualized emergency management protocols increased over time, reaching 91.4% in 2022. Median ED stay was 3.4 hours, and approximately 25% of visits had a hemophilia-related admission diagnosis.
Conclusions: These findings highlight persistent delays and nonadherence to best practice recommendations, emphasizing the need for targeted quality improvement interventions to ensure timely, guideline-concordant care for PwH in emergency settings.
期刊介绍:
Advanced molecular research techniques have transformed hematology in recent years. With improved understanding of hematologic diseases, we now have the opportunity to research and evaluate new biological therapies, new drugs and drug combinations, new treatment schedules and novel approaches including stem cell transplantation. We can also expect proteomics, molecular genetics and biomarker research to facilitate new diagnostic approaches and the identification of appropriate therapies. Further advances in our knowledge regarding the formation and function of blood cells and blood-forming tissues should ensue, and it will be a major challenge for hematologists to adopt these new paradigms and develop integrated strategies to define the best possible patient care. Expert Review of Hematology (1747-4086) puts these advances in context and explores how they will translate directly into clinical practice.
