Article Synopsis
- Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is a rare genetic disorder that severely affects patients' health and quality of life, highlighting the need for a specific measure to assess their experiences.
- The study aimed to validate the Congenital Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-Patient Experience Questionnaire (cTTP-PEQ), which evaluates symptoms across various domains such as pain, cognitive issues, and treatment burden, through patient self-reports.
- Results from 36 participating patients showed strong convergent validity, confirming that the cTTP-PEQ effectively measures the patient experience and can distinguish between different levels of disease severity.
