A Core Outcome Set for Efficacy of Acute Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema.

Background: Clinical trials investigating drugs for the acute treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks have assessed many different outcomes. This heterogeneity limits the comparability of trial results and may lead to selective outcome reporting bias and a high burden on trial participants.

Objective: To achieve consensus on a core outcome set composed of key outcomes that ideally should be used in all clinical efficacy trials involving the acute treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks.

Retrospective Data Analysis of the Use of an Autologous Multilayered Leukocyte, Platelet, and Fibrin Patch for Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treatment in Daily Clinical Practice.

Objective: To describe the healing outcome of chronic, hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) treated with an autologous multilayered leukocyte, platelet, and fibrin (MLPF) patch in addition to the best standard of care, in a real-world clinical setting of two US amputation preventive centers.

Methods: In this retrospective study of patients treated between September 2021 and October 2022, the authors analyzed DFU healing outcomes based on Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection-derived amputation risk.

Results: All 36 patients had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and 29 (81%) were male.

A multicenter chart review of patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes in hereditary angioedema: unmet need for more effective long-term prophylaxis.

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable, recurring subcutaneous or submucosal swelling. Without effective therapy, HAE can negatively impact patients' quality of life. Management of HAE includes on-demand treatment of attacks and short- and long-term prophylaxis (LTP) to prevent attacks.

Content validation and psychometric evaluation of the Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire for hereditary angioedema.

Background: There is considerable burden of illness in hereditary angioedema (HAE). However, instruments to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in HAE are limited. The Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (AE-QoL) was developed to measure HRQoL in patients with recurrent angioedema; the validity of the AE-QoL in patients with HAE is described.
