Abstract
BACKGROUND Angioedema (AE) manifests with intermittent, localized, self-limiting swelling of the subcutaneous and/or submucosal tissue. AE is heterogeneous, can be hereditary or acquired, occurs only once or be recurrent, with or without wheals, due to mast cell mediators, bradykinin or other mechanisms. Currently, different taxonomic systems are used, making it difficult to compare the results of studies, develop multicenter collaboration, and harmonize treatments of AE patients. OBJECTIVE To develop a consensus on the definition, acronyms, nomenclature, and classification of angioedema (DANCE). METHODS The initiative involved 91 experts from 35 countries and was endorsed by 53 scientific, medical societies, and patient organizations. A consensus was reached by online discussion and voting using the Delphi process over a period of 16 months (June 2021 to November 2022). RESULTS The DANCE initiative resulted in an international consensus on the definition, classification and terminology of AE. The new consensus classification features five types and endotypes of AE and a harmonized vocabulary of abbreviations and acronyms. CONCLUSION The DANCE classification complements current clinical guidelines and expert consensus recommendations on the diagnostic workup and treatment of AE. DANCE does not replace current clinical guidelines and expert consensus algorithms and should not be misconstrued in a way that affects reimbursement of medicines prescribed by a physician using sound clinical judgment. We anticipate that the new AE taxonomy and nomenclature will harmonize and facilitate AE research and clinical studies, thereby improving patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical trials investigating drugs for acute treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks have assessed many different outcomes. This heterogeneity limits 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 comprising key outcomes that should ideally be utilized in all clinical efficacy trials involving acute treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks. METHODS A Delphi consensus study was conducted involving all relevant parties: hereditary angioedema patients, hereditary angioedema expert clinicians and clinical researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory bodies. Two internet-based survey rounds were conducted. In round 1, panelists indicated the importance of individual outcomes used in clinical trials on a 9-point Likert scale. Based on these results, a core outcome set was developed and voted on by panelists in round 2. RESULTS Fifty-eight worldwide panelists completed both rounds. The first round demonstrated high importance scores and substantial agreement among the panelists. In the second round, a consensus of ≥90% was achieved on a core outcome set consisting of five key outcomes: change in overall symptom severity at one predetermined time point between 15 minutes and 4 hours after treatment, time to end of progression of all symptoms, need for rescue medication during the entire attack, impairment of daily activities, and treatment satisfaction. CONCLUSION This international study obtained a high level of consensus on a core outcome set for acute treatment of hereditary angioedema attacks consisting of five key outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Berotralstat is a first-line, once-daily oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor approved for prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in patients 12 years or older. OBJECTIVE This analysis examined the safety and effectiveness of long-term prophylaxis with berotralstat. METHODS APeX-2 was a phase 3, parallel-group, multicenter trial in patients with HAE caused by C1-inhibitor deficiency (NCT03485911). Part 1 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of 150 and 110 mg of berotralstat over 24 weeks. In part 2, berotralstat-treated patients continued the same treatment, and placebo-treated patients were re-randomized to 150 or 110 mg of berotralstat for 24 weeks. In part 3, all patients were treated with open-label berotralstat at 150 mg, which could be continued for up to an additional 4 years. In part 3, the primary endpoint was long-term safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints included HAE attack rates and quality of life (QoL). RESULTS Eighty-one patients entered part 3. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 82.7% of patients, with most being mild or moderate in severity. The most common TEAEs were nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, arthralgia, coronavirus infection, and diarrhea. Drug-related TEAEs occurred in 14.8% of patients, but none were serious. For patients who completed 96 weeks of berotralstat treatment (n = 70), the mean (standard error) change in attack rate from baseline was -2.21 (0.20) attacks/mo. Clinically meaningful improvements in QoL were also observed, with the largest improvements in the functioning domain. CONCLUSION Berotralstat was generally well tolerated, provided rapid and sustained reductions in HAE attacks and improved QoL over 96 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease with variable expression. In some families with identical genetic abnormalities, the expression can range from several attacks per month to no attacks at all. It is hypothesized that post-transcriptional gene regulation accounts for the variable expression of the disease. OBJECTIVE To identify candidate microRNAs (miRNAs) that could play a role in HAE by determining whether miRNAs are differentially expressed in patients with HAE vs non-HAE individuals and whether expression profiles are tracked with severity. METHODS This study compared serum miRNA expression in patients with HAE vs non-HAE using RNA sequencing. Associations between miRNA expression and HAE severity were assessed in patients with mild disease (<6 attacks a year) vs severe disease (>1 attack per month). The functions of candidate miRNAs were analyzed using in silico methods. RESULTS There were robust miRNA expression differences between patients with HAE and non-HAE controls. A cluster analysis identified subgroups of patients with HAE having unique miRNA profiles that tracked with frequency of attacks. Two miRNAs, miR-99b-5p and miR-127-3p, were differentially expressed between mild and severe HAE (adjusted P < .05). In silico analysis revealed a function of differentially expressed miRNAs in regulation of C1 esterase inhibitor, kininogen, the bradykinin B2 receptor, and adherens junction function. CONCLUSION Candidate microRNAs were identified that could distinguish patients with and without HAE and may be used to identify phenotypes of HAE.

Abstract
Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common condition treated by allergist/immunologists, but the only FDA-approved biologic medication, omalizumab, may be underutilized globally. Objective This study was performed to determine the global prescription of omalizumab for treatment of CSU by allergists/immunologists. Methods Anonymous questionnaire surveys were distributed online to World Allergy Organization (WAO) members worldwide. Categorical data were analyzed for descriptive analysis using one-way frequency tabulation in SAS 9.4. Results There were 348 respondents (43 missing data); Average age 51 (range 28-90); M/F 48%/52%. 58% had > 15 years of clinical experience and 10% < 5; 42% worked in private clinics, 36% public hospitals, 24% academia, 18% private hospitals, and 4% in community practice. Eighty-two percent (82%) prescribed omalizumab for CSU patients and use of omalizumab was highest among young practitioners. The most significant barriers were cost (63%) and restricted formulary (24%). Drug safety (63%) and chances of adverse events (47%) were the most significant factors deciding treatment. Twenty-two percent (22%) reported 80-100% of CSU patients were complete responders to omalizumab; 34% preferred increasing frequency (q 2-weeks), and 18% preferred increasing dose (600 mg q 4-weeks) for partial or non-responders. UAS7, UCT, and CU-QoL were used to assess CSU by 55%, 29%, and 25% of respondents, respectively. Autoimmune thyroid disease (62%), thyroid abnormality (43%) and allergic rhinitis (35%) were the most frequent comorbidities reported. Conclusions Most clinicians favored omalizumab over other potential treatments due to safety. Although younger clinicians were more likely to prescribe omalizumab, cost and formulary access were major barriers. Only 22% of respondents reported 80% or greater of their patients had complete response to omalizumab, indicating the need for novel CSU therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition characterized by potentially fatal, recurrent episodes of painful swelling. Whereas there are limited studies evaluating the quality of life of individuals with HAE, none have evaluated the impact of HAE on older adults. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of HAE on older adults through qualitative methodology. METHODS A group of 3 physicians with extensive research and clinical experience in HAE developed a focus group guidebook highlighting issues of importance to older adults. A total of 17 patients with HAE (type I or II) aged 60 years and older participated in focus groups. Three independent reviewers coded each focus group transcript using a thematic saturation approach. RESULTS Reviewers identified 7 core themes from the focus groups. The themes identified encompassed the following: (1) challenges with securing medications and insurance concerns; (2) the experience of living with HAE before the advent of newer and more effective therapeutic options; (3) a worsening of HAE attack frequency and severity with aging; (4) the effects of comorbid conditions such as arthritis, memory loss, and irritable bowel syndrome; (5) changes in HAE with menopause; and (6) changing perspective on HAE with age, the effect of HAE on interpersonal relationships including the decision to have children, and goals for future care and research including support groups and a desire to be included in clinical trials. CONCLUSION Older adults with HAE have specific challenges and concerns that may be unique compared with younger populations. Health care providers should address these to provide optimal care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy (RT) planning is presently a semi-manual, iterative, labor-intensive process which may result in unnecessary variation in plan quality. To improve treatment plan quality and decrease RT planning time, we conducted a prospective, blinded study to compare machine learning-assisted planning with conventional manual planning for patients receiving 54 Gy in 30 fractions for a primary brain tumor. MATERIALS/METHODS From January 31, 2022 to January 10, 2023, 40 patients receiving 54 Gy for primary CNS tumors were prospectively enrolled (median age 50 years, range 4-78 years). Patients underwent standard CT/MR simulation and target/OAR delineation by the treating radiation oncologist. Each patient had one ML plan and 1-2 manual RT plans created by different planners. The reviewing oncologist was blinded to planning method by removing optimization and IMRT/VMAT beam arrangement details from all plans, which were then rated based on clinical acceptability, target coverage, OAR sparing, conformity, and dose-fall off. One preferred plan was chosen and used for clinical treatment. RESULTS A total of 115 plans for 40 patients were evaluated: 40 ML plans (35% of all plans), and 75 manual plans (65% of all plans; 5 and 35 patients had 1 and 2 manual plans created, respectively). ML plans required a mean planning time of 65 min as compared to 107 min for manual plans, with a mean time savings of 41 min per patient (paired t-test p = 0.002). 97% of ML plans (95% confidence interval [CI] 85-100) and 96% of manual plans (95% CI 87-99) were designated clinically acceptable by the treating radiation oncologist. While ML-assisted plans represented 35% of plans evaluated, they were chosen as preferred for clinical treatment in 43% of cases (17/40, 95% CI 29-58, p = 0.32). Median doses to the brain (10.8 Gy vs. 11.3 Gy, Wilcoxon rank-sum p = 0.012) and brain minus PTV (9.2 Gy vs 10.0 Gy, Wilcoxon rank-sum p = 0.009) were lower with ML planning versus manual planning, respectively. Doses to other structures, including hippocampi, cochlea, pituitary and hypothalamus were not statistically different. CONCLUSION In this prospective study with blinded oncologist evaluation, ML-assisted RT planning for primary CNS tumors was faster than manual planning, and produced a very high rate of acceptable plans with similar or superior OAR sparing. Future work will be undertaken to iteratively refine the ML model using the preferred cases from this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Our group previously demonstrated an improvement in cognition among children with medulloblastoma treated with proton therapy, as compared to photon therapy. However, the reason for this cognitive improvement was unclear. In this study, our aim was to determine whether dose to critical brain structures acted as a mediator of improved cognition in patients treated with proton therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS In this retrospective study, a cohort of 75 children with medulloblastoma from two institutions was assembled (39 photon, 36 proton). Included patients were treated with similar radiation and cognitive follow-up protocols. Study endpoints were verbal comprehension (VCI), perceptual reasoning (PRI), working memory (WMI), processing speed (PSI) indices and full-scale IQ (FSIQ). Brain structures were segmented and dose comparisons by RT modality were compared using independent t-tests. Linear mixed effects models with random intercepts were created to evaluate cognitive endpoints using R version 4.2.2. RESULTS Median follow-up from RT to last cognitive assessment was 4.8 years. Total dose, including RT boost, was slightly lower in the proton cohort than the photon cohort (mean, 54.6 Gy vs. 56.1 Gy, respectively, p < 0.001). Eleven children (31%) treated with proton therapy received 36 Gy CSI, while 6 children (15%) treated with photon therapy received 36 Gy CSI (p = 0.07). Children treated with proton therapy had reduced total doses to the brain (mean, D40), left and right temporal lobes (mean, D40, D50), and left and right hippocampi (mean, D40, D50 - see Table). After adjustment for age at RT and posterior fossa syndrome, higher whole brain mean dose and time since RT were associated with greater decrease in VCI (p = 0.033), higher left temporal D50 and time since RT with greater decrease in PRI (p = 0.031), higher whole brain D40 and time since RT with greater decrease in PSI (p < 0.001) and FSIQ (p = 0.030). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that proton therapy for patients with medulloblastoma reduces dose to normal brain tissues, which is associated with better intellectual outcomes. Children with medulloblastoma who undergo RT should be treated with proton therapy, if available.

Abstract
489 Background: To determine if SBRT followed by sorafenib (SBRT/S) improves overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and quality of life (QOL) vs. sorafenib alone (S), in patients (pts) with HCC. Methods: Eligible pts had new or recurrent HCC, unsuitable for surgery, ablation or TACE, with Zubrod performance status (PS) 0-2, Child-Pugh (CP) A, BCLC stage B or C, ≤ 5 HCCs, sum of hepatic HCCs ≤ 20 cm, and distant metastases ≤ 3 cm. Pts were randomized 1:1 to S 400 mg BID vs. SBRT (27.5-50 Gy in 5 fractions) followed by S 200 mg BID, increased to 400 mg BID after 28 days. Primary endpoint was OS; reported secondary endpoints - PFS, adverse events (AEs - CTCAEv4), and QOL (improvement in FACT-Hep score by ≥ 5 points from baseline to 6 months). Planned sample size was 292 pts (238 OS events, HR=0.72, 80% power, 1-sided α=0.05). Accrual closed early, due to a change in HCC standard of care. Statistics were amended to report as of 7/1/2022, projecting 155 OS events, with 65% power and the same α. OS and PFS were estimated by Kaplan-Meier and arms compared using log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze treatment effect. Secondary endpoints were tested with 2-sided α=0.05. Results: Of 193 pts accrued from April 2013 to March 2021 from 23 sites, 177 eligible pts were randomized to S (n=92) vs. SBRT/S (n=85). Median age was 66 yrs (27-84); 41% had Hep. C; 19% had Hep. B or B/C. 82% were BCLC stage C. 74% had macrovascular invasion (MVI), 63% with VP3 or VP4 MVI. 4% had metastases. Median sum of max diameter of HCCs was 8.2 cm for S and 6.7 cm for SBRT/S; 40% had a single HCC. Median follow-up for all and alive pts was 13.2 and 33.7 mo. 22% of S pts received SBRT after discontinuing S. With 153 OS events, median OS was improved from 12.3 mo. (90% CI 10.6, 14.3) with S to 15.8 mo. (90% CI 11.4-19.2) with SBRT/S (HR=0.77, 1-sided p=0.0554). After adjusting for PS, M stage, CP A5 vs. 6, and degree of MVI, OS was statistically significantly improved for SBRT/S (HR=0.72, 95% CI 0.52-0.99, 2-sided Cox p=0.042). Median PFS was improved from 5.5 mo. (95% CI 3.4-6.3) with S to 9.2 months (95% CI 7.5-11.9) with SBRT/S (HR=0.55, 95% CI 0.40-0.75, 2-sided p=0.0001). 8 grade (G) 3+ bleeds were seen: 5 in S arm (1 G3 variceal, 2 G3 upper GI, 1 G3 hepatic, and 1 G4 abdominal) and 3 post SBRT/S (2 G3 upper GI, 1 G3 lower GI). Treatment-related G3+ AEs were not significantly different (S - 42%; SBRT/S - 47%; p=0.52), with 3 G5 AEs (S - 1 hepatic failure, 1 death NOS; SBRT/S - 1 lung infection). 83 (47%) pts consented to QoL. Of 20 S and 17 SBRT/S pts with QoL assessments at baseline and 6 months, 10% on S improved in FACT-Hep score vs 35% on SBRT/S. Conclusions: Compared to S alone, SBRT improved OS & PFS in patients with HCC, with no observed increase in AEs, and a strong suggestion for QOL benefit at 6 months. Supported by U10CA180868 (NRG Onc. Op., U10CA180822 (NRG Onc. SDMC), UG1CA189867 (NCORP), and U24CA180803 (IROC) from the NCI. Clinical trial information: NCT01730937 .

Abstract
Hereditary angioedema is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by episodes of swelling of the upper airway, intestines, and skin. The disorder is characterized by deficiency in C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) or a decrease in functional C1-INH. Treatment options include on demand therapy (treatment of acute attacks), long-term prophylaxis, and short-term prophylaxis. Corticosteroids, epinephrine, and antihistamines are not effective for this form of angioedema. The high mortality in patients undiagnosed underscores a need for broader physician awareness to identify these patients and initiate therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) attacks show an increased frequency and severity for pregnant and lactating females secondary to the hormonal changes. The diagnosis and management of HAE in pregnant and lactating females pose a challenge for physicians due to the rarity of the disease and the paucity of the data for specific management. AREAS COVERED In this manuscript, we discuss the diagnosis and special presentation of HAE types 1 and 2 in pregnant and lactating females, including acute management, short-term prophylaxis, long-term prophylaxis, and drugs that should be avoided. Relevant publications were found through key word search of papers indexed in both Google Scholar and PubMed on 1 July 2022. EXPERT OPINION Treatment of HAE in the past has been mainly provided by experts; however, with more medications and an increasing number of patients, knowledge of how to care for HAE patients during pregnancy and lactation is important to review. Despite approval of additional medications in many countries, plasma-derived C1-inhibitor remains the drug of first choice for treatment in this unique population. Additional research is needed to increase safe access to other therapy options. We hope that future clinical studies, registries, and databases will shed additional light on this subject.

Abstract
Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease and also a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The frequent readmissions of patients with COPD may reduce lung function, mental health, and quality of life; it also increases the cost of treatment and mortality rate. There are some common factors that may increase the readmission frequency of COPD patients such as delay of diagnosis, advanced lung function decline, lack of adherence for COPD treatment, and ineffective management of comorbidities and acute exacerbation or stable COPD, and infections. However, these factors might be well controlled with appropriate approaches to minimize the readmission of patients with COPD. In this review, we propose a strategy with seven-step approach to reduce the readmission in COPD patients, including early diagnosis of COPD, optimal treatment for stable COPD, targeted management of comorbidities, adequate therapy for acute exacerbations, individualized action plans for COPD patients, effective prevention of bacterial and viral infections, and adaptive program of pulmonary rehabilitation. Thus, the implement of this approach may reduce the risk of readmission in patients with COPD.

Abstract
Background: The management of hereditary angioedema has rapidly changed over the past decade. With these changes there has been increased recognition of the unique challenges of diagnosing and managing hereditary angioedema in pediatric populations. The objective of this review was to identify and compare recently published consensus guidelines for the management of hereditary angioedema types 1 and 2 to identify areas of agreement and conflict. Methods: A MEDLINE database search was performed to identify guidelines that offered guidance on diagnosing or managing hereditary angioedema in pediatric populations. A limitation was placed on guidelines published in the past 5 years to reflect the most recent literature. Results: Six clinical practice guidelines were included in the analysis. Early detection of disease status, coordination with specialists, and empowering patients with self-administered medications are emphasized, with use of plasma derived C1 esterase inhibitor as first line therapy for aborting attacks. The guidelines are shifting away from attenuated androgens and tranexamic acid for long-term prophylaxis toward medications such as subcutaneous C1 esterase inhibitor, lanadelumab, and berotralstat. Conclusion: Although some differences exist based on geographic region and health system where an included guideline was published, they have very minimal differences on close review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction Many people suffering from psychotic disorders report persistent auditory verbal hallucinations (‘voices’) despite pharmacological and psychological therapy. Interest is growing in approaches that emphasise the personal relationship between the patient and their voice(s). AVATAR therapy is one such approach that uses a digital representation (avatar) of a selected voice to facilitate a three-way discussion between patient, therapist and voice, the therapist speaking either as him/herself or in the digitally transformed voice of the avatar. Objectives: To describe AVATAR therapy and an ongoing multi-centre clinical trial. Methods: Encouraging findings from an earlier controlled trial (AVATAR1) comparing AVATAR therapy and supportive counselling informed our current multi-site cost-effectiveness trial of brief and extended versions of the therapy compared to treatment as usual (AVATAR2). Results: AVATAR1 delivered in 7 weekly sessions resulted in a reduction in the frequency, distress and power of voices that was significantly superior to supportive counselling. Clinical experience suggested that some participants improved in response to the early focus on anxiety while others seemed more responsive to later more formulation-driven approach. These findings led us to the current ongoing three arm clinical trial comprising a brief (6 session) focus on anxiety/assertiveness, an extended (12 session) formulation-driven approach both approaches compared to treatment as usual. Conclusion: Previous AVATAR studies suggest this is a therapy with considerable promise. It can be delivered through widely available laptop computers, usually in clinic but also remotely via existing commercial platforms. The current trial will address questions about dissemination, training and cost-effectiveness in NHS settings.

Abstract
Since the first case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)-associated SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection reported in 2020, a series of cases have been published in some countries. In this case report, we present a young patient with GBS, whose clinical and laboratory data were appropriate for the diagnosis of GBS due to COVID-19 infection. Neurological examination revealed the muscular weakness of lower limbs with Medical Research Council (MRC) scale of 2/5 associated with diminished reflexes. Laboratory studies showed the positive nasal swab RT-PCR test for COVID-19, leukopenia, increased ferritin and LDH levels, normal electrolyte and liver and kidney function, and normal chest X-ray. The result of cerebrospinal fluid showed the albuminocytologic dissociation. The patient was treated with remdesivir, dexamethasone, anticoagulation, and therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). Patient's muscle weakness was significantly improved after 1 week of admission. He was discharged at 23rd days of hospitalization and followed-up in the out-patients department.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has uncontrollable effects on many organs. A great number of previously published scientific reports have revealed that patients with diabetes mellitus face a more severe form of Covid-19 with a higher death rate. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old unvaccinated boy who was admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with a history of fever, cough, dyspnea, throat pain, nausea, and confusion that progressed to lethargy after 24 h. On clinical examination, he was in a coma with Kussmaul’s breathing, and was anuric. His blood biochemical analysis demonstrated hyperglycemia, severe metabolic acidosis, kidney failure, electrolyte disturbances, and inflammation. Chest x-ray showed pneumonia and a pleural effusion. The results of the SARS-CoV-2 real-time polymerase chain reaction were positive. The patient was diagnosed with Covid-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children secondary to his acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, and new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis. He was intubated for invasive mechanical ventilation and received a normal saline infusion and continuous insulin infusion (0.1 IU/kg/h) for the treatment of his diabetic ketoacidosis. He was also treated with methylprednisolone, aspirin, and heparin, and underwent continuous renal replacement therapy for acute renal failure for 9 days. The patient was discharged from ICU on day 16 and was followed up regularly as an outpatient with daily treatment, including subcutaneous insulin injection (30 IU/day) and a calcium channel blocker for hypertension (nifedipine 20 mg/day).

Abstract
Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by disabling episodes of edema that commonly affect the skin as well as the gastrointestinal tract and upper airway. Prophylactic therapy can decrease the severity and number of attacks. Long-term symptom control and rescue medication use were evaluated in patients with HAE who received subcutaneous (SC) C1-INH enrolled in an open-label extension (OLE) of the phase III COMPACT (Clinical Studies for Optimal Management of Preventing Angioedema with Low-Volume Subcutaneous C1-Inhibitor Replacement Therapy) trial, including a subgroup analysis of patients treated for ≥12 months. Methods: The OLE study evaluated patients ≥ 6 years old who had had four or more attacks over 2 consecutive months before enrollment. Patients naive for C1-INH (SC) and patients in the COMPACT rollover trial were included. The patients were randomized to receive C1-INH (SC) 40 or 60 IU/kg twice weekly for 52 weeks. U.S. patients were eligible to continue for up to 140 weeks. Results: A total of 63 patients were randomized to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved dose of 60 IU/kg; 24 subjects were treated for at least 12 months. For the 63 subjects, the median (range) attacks per month were 0.09 (0.0-4.0) and per year were 1.0 (0.0-48.0). Two-thirds of the patients used rescue medication fewer than once per year. For the 24 patients with ≥ 12 months of exposure, the median (range) attacks per month and per year were 0.017 (0.000-2.4) and 0.199 (0.000-28.94), respectively. Of these patients, 12 (50%) were attack free throughout the duration of the study, and 3 (12.5%) had fewer than one attack per year. Conclusion: Prophylaxis with C1-INH (SC) provided sustained reductions in attack frequency and decreased rescue medication use, with a substantial proportion of patients being attack free.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema is characterized by recurrent and unpredictable swellings that are disabling and potentially fatal. Selective inhibition of plasma prekallikrein production by antisense oligonucleotide treatment (donidalorsen) may reduce the frequency of attacks and the burden of disease. METHODS In this phase 2 trial, we randomly assigned, in a 2:1 ratio, patients with hereditary angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency to receive four subcutaneous doses of either donidalorsen (80 mg) or placebo, with one dose administered every 4 weeks. The primary end point was the time-normalized number of investigator-confirmed angioedema attacks per month (attack rate) between week 1 (baseline) and week 17. Secondary end points included quality of life, as measured with the Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse quality of life), and safety. RESULTS A total of 20 patients were enrolled, of whom 14 were randomly assigned to receive donidalorsen and 6 to receive placebo. The mean monthly rate of investigator-confirmed angioedema attacks was 0.23 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08 to 0.39) among patients receiving donidalorsen and 2.21 (95% CI, 0.58 to 3.85) among patients receiving placebo (mean difference, -90%; 95% CI, -96 to -76; P<0.001). The mean change from baseline to week 17 in the Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire score was -26.8 points in the donidalorsen group and -6.2 points in the placebo group (mean difference, -20.7 points; 95% CI, -32.7 to -8.7). The incidence of mild-to-moderate adverse events was 71% among patients receiving donidalorsen and 83% among those receiving placebo. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with hereditary angioedema, donidalorsen treatment resulted in a significantly lower rate of angioedema attacks than placebo in this small, phase 2 trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema is associated with dysregulation of the kallikrein-kinin system. Factor XII (FXII) is a key initiator of the kallikrein-kinin system, which produces bradykinin, a central mediator of angioedema. Garadacimab (CSL Behring) is a first-in-class, fully human, immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody targeting activated FXII, intended to prevent attacks in patients with C1-esterase inhibitor-deficient hereditary angioedema (HAE-C1-INH). We aimed to investigate garadacimab as a treatment every 4 weeks for patients with HAE-C1-INH. METHODS In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study, patients with HAE-C1-INH were recruited from 12 research centres in Canada, Germany, Israel, and the USA. Eligible patients were aged 18-65 years and must have had at least four attacks of any severity over a consecutive 2-month period during the 3 months before screening or initiation of previous hereditary angioedema prophylaxis. After a run-in period of 4-8 weeks, patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1), using an interactive response technology via block randomisation (block sizes of 1-4), to either placebo or 75 mg, 200 mg, or 600 mg garadacimab. Patients were given an initial intravenous loading dose, and then, on day 6 and every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, they were given a subcutaneous dose of their allocated treatment. The primary endpoint was the number of monthly attacks in the intention-to-treat population (defined as all patients who underwent screening, provided consent, and were assigned to treatment) during the 12-week subcutaneous administration period assessed in the 200 mg and 600 mg garadacimab groups versus placebo. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose or partial dose of study treatment. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03712228. FINDINGS Between Oct 29, 2018, and Aug 28, 2019, 54 patients were screened, of whom 32 were randomly assigned to either placebo (n=8) or 75 mg (n=9), 200 mg (n=8), or 600 mg (n=7) garadacimab. The median age was 39·5 years (28·0-52·5) and 18 (56%) of 32 patients were female and 14 (34%) were male. The median number of monthly attacks during the 12-week subcutaneous treatment period was 4·6 (IQR 3·1-5·0) with placebo, 0·0 (0·0-0·4) with 75 mg garadacimab, 0·0 (0·0-0·0) with 200 mg garadacimab, and 0·3 (0·0-0·7) with 600 mg garadacimab. Compared with placebo, the rate of attacks was significantly reduced with garadacimab at 200 mg (reduced by 100% [95% CI 98-101]; p=0·0002) and 600 mg (reduced by 93% [54-110]; p=0·0003). No serious adverse events, deaths, or adverse events of special interest (anaphylaxis, thromboembolic events, and bleeding events) were observed. INTERPRETATION Garadacimab 200 mg and 600 mg every 4 weeks significantly reduced the number of monthly attacks versus placebo and was well tolerated during the study. Garadacimab is an efficacious, subcutaneous prophylaxis in patients with HAE-C1-INH and warrants phase 3 evaluation. FUNDING CSL Behring.

Abstract
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare and disabling disease for which early diagnosis and effective therapy are critical. This revision and update of the global WAO/EAACI guideline on the diagnosis and management of HAE provides up-to-date guidance for the management of HAE. For this update and revision of the guideline, an international panel of experts reviewed the existing evidence, developed 28 recommendations, and established consensus by an online DELPHI process. The goal of these recommendations and guideline is to help physicians and their patients in making rational decisions in the management of HAE with deficient C1-inhibitor (type 1) and HAE with dysfunctional C1-inhibitor (type 2), by providing guidance on common and important clinical issues, such as: 1) How should HAE be diagnosed? 2) When should HAE patients receive prophylactic on top of on-demand treatment and what treatments should be used? 3) What are the goals of treatment? 4) Should HAE management be different for special HAE patient groups such as children or pregnant/breast feeding women? 5) How should HAE patients monitor their disease activity, impact, and control? It is also the intention of this guideline to help establish global standards for the management of HAE and to encourage and facilitate the use of recommended diagnostics and therapies for all patients.

Abstract
Background The aim was to evaluate long‐term effectiveness and safety of lanadelumab in patients ≥12 y old with hereditary angioedema (HAE) 1/2 (NCT02741596). Methods Rollover patients completing the HELP Study and continuing into HELP OLE received one lanadelumab 300 mg dose until first attack (dose‐and‐wait period), then 300 mg q2wks (regular dosing stage). Nonrollovers (newly enrolled) received lanadelumab 300 mg q2wks from day 0. Baseline attack rate for rollovers: ≥1 attack/4 weeks (based on run‐in period attack rate during HELP Study); for nonrollovers: historical attack rate ≥1 attack/12 weeks. The planned treatment period was 33 months. Results 212 patients participated (109 rollovers, 103 nonrollovers); 81.6% completed ≥30 months on study (mean [SD], 29.6 [8.2] months). Lanadelumab markedly reduced mean HAE attack rate (reduction vs baseline: 87.4% overall). Patients were attack free for a mean of 97.7% of days during treatment; 81.8% and 68.9% of patients were attack free for ≥6 and ≥12 months, respectively. Angioedema Quality‐of‐Life total and domain scores improved from day 0 to end of study. Treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (excluding HAE attacks) were reported by 97.2% of patients; most commonly injection site pain (47.2%) and viral upper respiratory tract infection (42.0%). Treatment‐related TEAEs were reported by 54.7% of patients. Most injection site reactions resolved within 1 hour (70.2%) or 1 day (92.6%). Six (2.8%) patients discontinued due to TEAEs. No treatment‐related serious TEAEs or deaths were reported. Eleven treatment‐related TEAEs of special interest were reported by seven (3.3%) patients. Conclusion Lanadelumab demonstrated sustained efficacy and acceptable tolerability with long‐term use in HAE patients.

Abstract
Introduction Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is an autosomal co-dominant genetic condition that predisposes individuals to pulmonary and hepatic disease, and in severe cases is treated with augmentation by intravenous infusion. Our aim was to assess patient reluctance to transition to self-administered augmentation of alpha-1-antitrypsin, during the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2. Methods A phone questionnaire was administered to 22 patients with severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency who were currently receiving AAT augmentation therapy.

Information was gathered regarding demographics, perspectives on transitioning to self-administered treatment, and anxiety and depression prevalence. Results were collected anonymously using REDCap. Joint and marginal statistical analysis was done to quantify links between participants’ willingness to transition to self-infusion and correlations with sex, age, years of therapy, anxiety, and depression. Results Of 22 patients, 14 were male and eight were female. Ages ranged from 36 to 79 years, with an average of 62.5. Genotypes were ZZ (14), MZ (3), and SZ (2) among others. Average length of intravenous augmentation was 9.5 years. The majority, 16 participants, were aware self-infusion was an option. Eight participants were willing to consider transitioning to self-infusion if trained and educated. Eight patients reported that fear of COVID-19 transmission influenced their decision-making. Above-normal anxiety, and depression scores, were found in four, and six patients, respectively. Neither sex, age, years of treatment, anxiety, or depression were found to be associated with willingness to consider self-infusion therapy. Conclusions Although there are many reasons AATD patients may benefit from AAT self-infusion, including decreased exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the majority preferred home nurse-infused therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) affects all races and both sexes equally. Minority patients are underrepresented in clinical trials and may be at risk for additional disease burden. OBJECTIVES To examine racial and ethnic disparities in the research and care of patients with HAE. METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based study using TriNetX Diamond Network. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Current Procedural Terminology, and RxNorm codes identified patients with HAE. The proportions of White, Black, and Hispanic patients with HAE were contrasted with racial and ethnic distributions of patients with HAE in clinical trials. Lifetime prevalence of mental health disorders and HAE treatments was contrasted among different racial and ethnic groups. RESULTS A population-based search identified 2122 patients with HAE. The prevalence of HAE among Black patients (1.64/100,000 patients) mirrored that of White patients (1.47/100,000 patients), whereas there was a lower HAE prevalence among Hispanic patients (0.80/100,000 patients). The demographics of the 1274 patients with HAE included in phase 2/3 clinical trials differed significantly from population-based data with overrepresentation of White patients (89.9% vs 77.9%) and underrepresentation of Black patients (3.8% vs 13.6%) and Hispanic patients (1.3% vs 8.1%). Across the different racial and ethnic groups of patients with HAE, the prevalence of mental health disorders was comparatively higher than among patients without HAE. Whereas depression was equally prevalent across the different HAE racial and ethnic groups, anxiety was more prevalent among White patients. CONCLUSIONS Clinical trials for Food and Drug Administration-approved HAE medications underrepresent minority patients. Hereditary angioedema remains underdiagnosed in Hispanic patients. Other than a lower prevalence of anxiety disorders among Black patients relative to White patients, the mental health impact of HAE is equally distributed across the different racial and ethnic groups.

Abstract
Background: Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an orphan disease that mainly affecting the liver and the lung. This creates difficulties to ensure that comprehensive care is administered to both organ systems. Past assessments of care delivered to patients with AATD demonstrated that improvements are needed. For that reason, we reassessed a population of patients with AATD in a large health care system to see if past findings affected present care. Methods: We performed electronic health record (EHR) reviews on all patients with documented AATD and confirmed the diagnosis by evidence of genotyping. We then selected the patients with the ZZ genotype to review comprehensive care. We further compared the findings in patients treated by different specialists (allergy immunology, gastroenterology, and pulmonary). The data were captured and assessed by using a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and data bases. REDCap. Results: We found a total of 329 patients with diagnostic codes for AATD, of these, 203 patients had a confirmed abnormal genotype. Confirmed genotypes were MZ (n = 69), ZZ (n = 48), MS (n = 22), SZ (n = 22). Further focus was applied to the care of the ZZ population secondary to a predisposition to potential severe lung and liver disease. The findings suggest that care can be improved no matter which specialist cares for the patient. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that all three subspecialty groups had room for improvement in providing care to patients with AATD. Our study further demonstrated the need for recurrent quality-assurance programs that may be aided by care suggestions built into the EHR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical recommendations for childhood asthma are often based on data extrapolated from studies conducted in adults, despite significant differences in mechanisms and response to treatments. The Paediatric Asthma in Real Life (PeARL) Think Tank aspires to develop recommendations based on the best available evidence from studies in children. An overview of systematic reviews (SRs) on paediatric asthma maintenance management and an SR of treatments for acute asthma attacks in children, requiring an emergency presentation with/without hospital admission will be conducted. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Standard methodology recommended by Cochrane will be followed. Maintenance pharmacotherapy of childhood asthma will be evaluated in an overview of SRs published after 2005 and including clinical trials or real-life studies. For evaluating pharmacotherapy of acute asthma attacks leading to an emergency presentation with/without hospital admission, we opted to conduct de novo synthesis in the absence of adequate up-to-date published SRs. For the SR of acute asthma pharmacotherapy, we will consider eligible SRs, clinical trials or real-life studies without time restrictions. Our evidence updates will be based on broad searches of Pubmed/Medline and the Cochrane Library. We will use A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews, V.2, Cochrane risk of bias 2 and REal Life EVidence AssessmeNt Tool to evaluate the methodological quality of SRs, controlled clinical trials and real-life studies, respectively.Next, we will further assess interventions for acute severe asthma attacks with positive clinical results in meta-analyses. We will include both controlled clinical trials and observational studies and will assess their quality using the previously mentioned tools. We will employ random effect models for conducting meta-analyses, and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology to assess certainty in the body of evidence. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval is not required for SRs. Our findings will be published in peer reviewed journals and will inform clinical recommendations being developed by the PeARL Think Tank.

Abstract
Background The interplay between COVID‐19 pandemic and asthma in children is still unclear. We evaluated the impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on childhood asthma outcomes. Methods The PeARL multinational cohort included 1,054 children with asthma and 505 non‐asthmatic children aged between 4 and 18 years from 25 pediatric departments, from 15 countries globally. We compared the frequency of acute respiratory and febrile presentations during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic between groups and with data available from the previous year. In children with asthma, we also compared current and historical disease control. Results During the pandemic, children with asthma experienced fewer upper respiratory tract infections, episodes of pyrexia, emergency visits, hospital admissions, asthma attacks, and hospitalizations due to asthma, in comparison with the preceding year. Sixty‐six percent of asthmatic children had improved asthma control while in 33% the improvement exceeded the minimal clinically important difference. Pre‐bronchodilatation FEV1 and peak expiratory flow rate were improved during the pandemic. When compared to non‐asthmatic controls, children with asthma were not at increased risk of LRTIs, episodes of pyrexia, emergency visits, or hospitalizations during the pandemic. However, an increased risk of URTIs emerged. Conclusion Childhood asthma outcomes, including control, were improved during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic, probably because of reduced exposure to asthma triggers and increased treatment adherence. The decreased frequency of acute episodes does not support the notion that childhood asthma may be a risk factor for COVID‐19. Furthermore, the potential for improving childhood asthma outcomes through environmental control becomes apparent.
