UNLABELLED: Hereditary factor X deficiency (HFXD) is a rare bleeding disorder causing delayed haemostasis and potentially life-threatening bleeds. Patient/caregiver burden and diagnosis path have not been well characterized.
THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO: describe the diagnosis path, disease burden, and HFXD impact on quality of life (QoL) in patients and caregivers.This was a prospective, cross-sectional, web-based survey of patients with HFXD and caregivers addressing the patient/caregiver experience, QoL, humanistic and unmet needs.Thirty patients and 38 caregivers completed the survey with mean ages 24.7 and 44.6 years, respectively. Mean age at diagnosis was 4.1 years. The diagnostic process was somewhat/very difficult for 23% of patients and 26% of caregivers. Approximately half (53%) received single factor replacement (SFR) as prophylaxis or on-demand. Most patients (71%) reported regular prophylaxis treatment. Over one-fourth (27%) reported treatment with fresh frozen plasma. Bleeding episodes were less common in patients using SFR versus non-SFR: three bleeds or fewer were reported by 92% SFR and 75% non-SFR patients. HFXD patients reported low well being in work/school/social activities with mean HFXD-adapted Hemophilia Well being Index. Patient symptoms negatively impacted caregiver burden with a mean HFXD-adapted Hemophilia Caregiver Index (±SD) of 15.9 (4.6), but also unexpectedly had a positive impact on self-worth and inner strength.To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess patient and caregiver burden of HFXD and impact on QoL. Improvements in symptom recognition, prompt diagnosis, and adherence to expert recommendations for treatment could improve QoL and decrease burden on HFXD patients and caregivers.
