Health-related quality of life of children with X-linked hypophosphatemia in Germany. Pediatr Nephrol 2024:10.1007/s00467-024-06427-0. [PMID: 38914781 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06427-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inherited phosphate-wasting disorder associated with bone and dental complications. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is reduced in XLH patients on conventional treatment with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D, while information on patients treated with burosumab is rare. METHODS HRQoL was assessed in 63 pediatric XLH patients participating in a prospective, observational study and patient registry in Germany using the KIDSCREEN-52 survey instrument and standardized qualitative interviews. RESULTS The median age of the XLH patients was 13.2 years (interquartile range 10.6 - 14.6). At the time of the survey, 55 (87%) patients received burosumab and 8 (13%) conventional treatment. Forty-six patients (84%) currently being treated with burosumab previously received conventional treatment. Overall, HRQoL was average compared to German reference values (mean ± SD: self-report, 53.36 ± 6.47; caregivers' proxy, 51.33 ± 7.15) and even slightly above average in some dimensions, including physical, mental, and social well-being. In general, XLH patients rated their own HRQoL higher than their caregivers. In qualitative interviews, patients and caregivers reported that, compared with conventional therapy, treatment with burosumab reduced stress, bone pain, and fatigue, improved physical health, and increased social acceptance by peers and the school environment. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world study in pediatric XLH patients, HRQoL was average or even slightly above that of the general population, likely due to the fact that the vast majority of patients had their treatment modality switched from conventional treatment to burosumab resulting in improved physical health and well-being.

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis: Findings from the Osteopetrosis Registry Study. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024:dgae285. [PMID: 38661205 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgae285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) is a rare sclerotic bone disease characterized by impaired osteoclast activity, resulting in high bone mineral density and skeletal fragility. The full phenotype and disease burden on patients' daily lives has not been systematically measured. OBJECTIVE We developed an online registry to ascertain population-based data on the spectrum and rate of progression of disease and to identify relevant patient centered outcomes that could be used to measure treatment effects and guide the design of future clinical trials. DESIGN Cross-sectional data from participants with osteopetrosis were collected using an online REDCap-based database. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-four participants with a confirmed diagnosis of ADO, aged 4-84 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Participants aged 18 years and older completed the PROMIS 57, participants aged 8 to 17 years completed the PROMIS Pediatric 49, and parents of participants aged <18 years completed the PROMIS Parent Proxy 49. RESULTS Based on the PROMIS 57, relative to the general population, adults with ADO reported low physical function and low ability to participate in social roles and activities, and high levels of anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, and pain interference. Daily pain medications were reported by 24% of the adult population. In contrast, neither pediatric participants, nor their parent proxy reported a negative impact on health-related quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Data from this registry demonstrate the broad spectrum of ADO disease severity and high impact on health-related quality of life in adults with ADO.

Health-related quality of life and fatigue in adult rare bone disease patients: A cross-sectional study from Austria. Bone 2024; 181:117034. [PMID: 38311305 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess physical and mental health domains of health related quality of life (HRQoL) as well as fatigue in rare bone disease (RBD) patients and to compare to patients with osteoporosis (OPO) and healthy controls (CTRL) without known bone diseases and to study associations of Fatique Severity Scale (FSS) with eight domains of HRQoL. METHODS Monocentric, cross-sectional study carried out between 2020 and 2022 in a hospital affiliated with the Vienna Bone and Growth Center (European Reference Network Center for Rare Bone Disease) in Vienna, Austria. The study comprised three types of RBD: Osteogenesis imperfecta, Hypophosphatasia and X-linked Hypophosphatemia. Fatigue was assessed by FSS. The higher score indicates more fatigue severity. HRQoL was assessed by Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36 v2). Physical component (PCS) and mental component summary scores (MCS) were calculated and normalised to a general population. A higher score indicates better HRQoL. Age-adjusted ANCOVA was used to assess differences in PCS and MCS between groups. Spearman correlation was used for associations of FSS with eight domains of HRQoL. RESULTS Study comprised 50 RBD patients [Mean age (SD) 48.8 (±15.9), 26 % male], 51 OPO patients [66.6 (±10.0), 9.8 % male] and 52 controls [50.8 (±16.3), 26.9 % male]. RBD patients had significantly higher mean age-adjusted FSS (3.5, 95 % CI 3.1-4.0) than controls (2.6, 95 % CI 2.2-3.0, p = 0.008), but not in comparison to osteoporotic patients 2.6 (95 % CI 2.2-3.0, p = 0.69). Diminished age-adjusted PCS of HRQoL was observed in RBD patients with a mean score of 37.1 (95 % CI 33.4-40.8), whereas their MCS of 50.1 (95 % CI 46.6-53.7) was comparable to controls (52.9, 95 % CI 49.8-56.0) and osteoporotic patients (50.2, 95 % CI 45.4-54.9). FSS score was negatively correlated with physical and mental component in RBD (ρ = -0.37, p < 0.05 and ρ = -0.54, p < 0.01, respectively) and OPO patients (ρ = -0.37, p < 0.05 and ρ = -0.35, p < 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The HRQoL in adult patients with rare bone diseases is lower than compared to osteoporotic and control group in this Austrian population. Fatigue has significant negative impact on HRQoL and it is important to address it when meeting with RBD patients in clinical practice.

Catgut embedding in acupoints combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial. Front Neurol 2024; 15:1295429. [PMID: 38606276 PMCID: PMC11008468 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1295429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background To date, the clinical modulation for bone metabolism based on the neuro-bone mass regulation theory is still not popular. The stimulation of nerve systems to explore novel treatments for Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is urgent and significant. Preliminary research results suggested that changes brain function and structure may play a crucial role in bone metabolism with PMOP. Thus, we set up a clinical trial to investigate the effect of the combination of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and catgut embedding in acupoints (CEA) for PMOP and to elucidate the central mechanism of this neural stimulation in regulating bone metabolism. Method This trial is a prospective and randomized controlled trial. 96 PMOP participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into a CEA group, an rTMS group, or a combined one. Participants will receive CEA, rTMS, or combined therapy for 3 months with 8 weeks of follow-up. The primary outcomes will be the changes in Bone Mineral Density scores, total efficiency of Chinese Medicine Symptoms before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes include the McGill Pain Questionnaire Short-Form, Osteoporosis Symptom Score, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Beck Depression Inventory-II. The leptin, leptin receptor, and norepinephrine levels of peripheral blood must be measured before and after treatment. Adverse events that occur during the trial will be recorded. Discussion CEA achieves brain-bone mass regulation through the bottom-up way of peripheral-central while rTMS achieves it through the top-down stimulation of central-peripheral. CEA combined with rTMS can stimulate the peripheral-central at the same time and promote peripheral bone mass formation. The combination of CEA and rTMS may play a coordinating, synergistic, and side-effect-reducing role, which is of great clinical significance in exploring better treatment options for PMOP.Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/, identifier ChiCTR2300073863.
