ABSTRACT

Resumen La hemofilia es una diátesis hemorrágica producida por la deficiencia hereditaria de un factor (proteína) de la coagulación sanguínea que afecta principalmente a los varones. Su grado de severidad puede variar desde casos con poco sangrado, hasta condiciones muy graves que en muchas ocasiones llevan a la muerte a los enfermos. Existen dos tipos de hemofilia: la A por carencia del factor VIII y la B por falta del factor IX. En este editorial se resume de manera global la situación actual de los avances de la hemofilia desde el punto de vista clínico y del laboratorio.


Abstract Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic diathesis that is caused by the hereditary deficiency of a factor (protein) of blood clotting and that affects mainly men. Its degree of severity can vary from cases with little bleeding, to very serious conditions that often lead to death. There are two types of hemophilia, A for lack of factor VIII, and B for lack of factor IX. This editorial summarizes the current state of progress of hemophilia from the clinical and laboratory point of view.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento A taxa de mortalidade de pessoas com hemofilia (PCH) no Brasil está diminuindo, mas a incidência relativa de mortes associadas a doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) tem aumentado. Objetivos Nosso objetivo foi descrever o escore de risco de DCV de PCHs de acordo com a ferramenta Pooled Cohort Equations Risk (PCER) Calculator e suas recomendações de tratamento. Além disso, foram comparadas as estimativas da PCER com o respectivo escore de risco de Framingham (FRS). Métodos Este estudo transversal incluiu PCHs do sexo masculino, com idade igual ou superior a 40 anos, tratados no Centro de Tratamento Integral de Hemofilia de Pernambuco (Recife/Brasil). PCHs com um evento cardiovascular prévio ou colesterol lipídico de baixa densidade ≥ 5,0 mmol/L foram excluídas. Entrevistas, revisões de prontuários médicos e exames de sangue foram realizados. A ferramenta PCER foi utilizada para estimar o risco de DCV e compará-lo com o respectivo FRS. Um valor de p < 0,05 foi aceito como estatisticamente significativo. Resultados Trinta PCHs foram incluídas. A idade mediana foi de 51,5 [intervalo interquartil-IIQ; 46,0-59,5] anos. A prevalência de obesidade, hipertensão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus, hipertrigliceridemia, hipercolesterolemia e hipoHDLemia foi de 20%, 67%, 24%, 14%, 47% e 23%, respectivamente. O escore mediano da PCER foi de 6,9% [IIQ; 3,1-13,2], com 50% de alto risco (PCER ≥ 7,5%). O uso de estatina foi sugerido para 54% das PCHs. A pressão arterial estava mal controlada em 47% das PCHs. A concordância entre PCER e FRS foi de 80% (κ = 0,60; p = 0,001). Conclusões Metade dos homens com hemofilia, com 40 anos de idade ou mais, teve um alto risco de desenvolver DCV em 10 anos, com fortes recomendações para melhorar o controle da dislipidemia e da pressão arterial.


Abstract Background The mortality rate of Brazilian people with haemophilia (PwH) is decreasing, but the relative incidence of deaths associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing. Objectives We aimed to describe the CVD risk score of PwH according to Pooled Cohort Equations Risk (PCER) Calculator tool and its treatment recommendations. We also compared the PCER estimates with the respective Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Methods This cross-sectional study included male PwH ≥ 40 years treated at the Comprehensive Haemophilia Treatment Centre of Pernambuco (Recife/Brazil). PwH with a previous CVD event or a low-density lipid cholesterol ≥ 5.0 mmol/L were excluded. Interviews, medical file reviews, and blood tests were performed. The PCER tool was used to estimate the CVD risk and compare it with the respective FRS. A p-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results Thirty PwH were included. Median age was 51.5 [interquartile range-IQR; 46.0-59.5] years. The prevalence of obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridaemia, hypercholesterolaemia, and hypoHDLaemia were 20%, 67%, 24%, 14%, 47%, and 23%, respectively. The median PCER score was 6.9% [IQR; 3.1-13.2], with 50% having a high risk (PCER ≥ 7.5%). Statin use was suggested for 54% of PwH. Blood pressure was poorly controlled in 47% of PwH. The agreement between PCER and FRS was 80% (κ = 0.60; p = 0.001). Conclusions Half of the male people with haemophilia aged 40 years or older had a 10-year high risk of developing CVD with strong recommendations to improve control of dyslipidaemia and blood pressure.

ABSTRACT

Hemophilia is an inherited X-linked coagulopathy defined by a deficiency or abnormality in the clotting function of factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or factor IX (Hemophilia B). Prophylaxis ­ the regular administration of therapeutic products to maintain hemostasis and prevent bleeding ­ is the mainstream of treatment. Addressing the development and scientific evidence for administrating prophylaxis is the goal of this review. Prophylaxis is the therapeutic modality of choice for people with severe hemophilia, being considered, in principle, a lifelong treatment. It should have an early onset, ideally as a primary, or at least secondary. Even lifelong tertiary prophylaxis seems to offer benefit, although further studies are still lacking. Individualized strategies should lead to an optimization of the dilemma between better joint outcomes versus involved costs.

ABSTRACT

The history of hemophilia is ancient, with descriptions dated to the 2nd century AD. The first modern narratives appeared in 1800s, when total blood transfusion was the only available treatment and life expectancy was remarkably low. Advances occurred with the use of plasma and cryoprecipitate, but only the discovered of factor concentrates revolutionized the treatment. The implantation of prophylaxis allowed hemophilic patients to prevent bleeding and the development of chronic arthropathy, although with a significant burdensome with the regular infusions. In the past 20 years, this field has witnessed major improvements, including the development of gene therapy and other pharmacological approaches.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La hemofilia es una enfermedad de origen genético, ligada al cromosoma X, que afecta la capacidad natural de la sangre para formar un coágulo, debido a la ausencia, disminución o un defectuoso funcionamiento de los factores VIII y IX, de ahí los tipos A y B, respectivamente. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de pacientes con hemofilia congénita de tipos A y B en Santiago de Cuba. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de los 41 pacientes con hemofilia congénita de tipos A y B (en una población pediátrica y de adultos) atendidos en la consulta de trastornos hemostáticos del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, desde noviembre de 2017 hasta diciembre de 2018. Resultados: En la serie predominaron los adultos jóvenes con hemofilia A (56,1 %), la hemofilia moderada (58,6 %), la lesión articular ligera (36,6 %), el crioprecipitado como tratamiento más utilizado y el nivel de escolaridad secundario. Conclusiones: La hemofilia A fue la más frecuente, en adultos jóvenes residentes en el municipio de Santiago de Cuba, principalmente la de tipo moderada y con artropatía leve. No se encontraron diferencias en relación con los informes nacionales e internacionales y el estudio de las alteraciones genéticas y moleculares estuvo limitado por las condiciones tecnológicas del momento.


Introduction: The hemophilia is a disease of genetic origin, linked to chromosome X that affects the natural capacity of the blood to form a clot, due to the absence, decrease or a defective operation of the factors VIII and IX, hence the types A and B, respectively. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of patients with types A and B congenital hemophilia in Santiago de Cuba. Method: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of the 41 patients with types A and B congenital hemophilia (in a pediatric and adults population) assisted in the hemostatic disorders service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from November, 2017 to December, 2018. Results: In the series there was a prevalence of young adults with hemophilia A (56.1 %), moderate hemophilia (58.6 %), light articular lesion (36.6 %), the cryoprecipitate as the most used treatment and the secondary school level. Conclusions: The hemophilia A was the most frequent, in young adults residents in Santiago de Cuba municipality, mainly that of moderated type and with light arthropathy. There were no differences related to the national and international reports and the study of the genetic and molecular disorders was limited by the technological conditions of the moment.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La hemofilia es un trastorno hemorrágico que causa dolor y daños articulares graves. Las personas con esta condición de salud suelen presentar problemas psicosociales como baja autoestima y dificultad para enfrentar la enfermedad, lo cual puede impactar negativamente en su calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS). Objetivo: Analizar el efecto predictor de la autoestima y las estrategias de afrontamiento hacia la CVRS en personas con hemofilia. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, de tipo correlacional, con muestra por conveniencia, realizado en 60 participantes con hemofilia, edades comprendidas entre 15 y 67 años (media = 27,43, desviación estándar = 11,32). Se utilizaron los cuestionarios: Calidad de Vida Específica para Hemofilia, Autoestima y Afrontamiento al Dolor Crónico. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, correlación de Pearson y análisis de regresión lineal múltiple con el método por pasos. Resultados: Se obtuvo que el nivel de CVRS fue mayormente moderado; sin embargo, se observaron niveles bajos en las dimensiones Deporte y tiempo libre y Futuro. La dimensión Éxito de la escala de autoestima correlacionó positivamente con las dimensiones Deporte y tiempo libre (r(60)= 0,59), Salud física (r(60)=0,54) y Autopercepción (r(60)=0,48) de la escala calidad de vida; además de haber mostrado un nivel alto de predicción de la calidad de vida (R 2 = 0,35, p= 0,00). Conclusiones: Se comprobó que la autoestima resulta ser una variable predictora de la CVRS de los pacientes con hemofilia. Se requiere fortalecer la autoestima y la manera de enfrentarse ante el dolor crónico en personas con este padecimiento en pro de su calidad de vida y bienestar(AU)


Introduction: Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that causes severe pain and damage to the joints. People with this health condition often present psychosocial problems such as low self-esteem and difficulty facing their disease, which can negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Objective: To analyze the predictive effect of self-esteem and coping strategies towards HRQL in people with hemophilia. Methods: This was a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational study, with a convenience sample, carried out in 60 participants with hemophilia, ages between 15 and 67 years (mean = 27.43, standard deviation = 11.32). The Specific Quality of Life for Hemophilia, Self-esteem and Coping with Chronic Pain questionnaires were used. Descriptive analyzes. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were performed with the stepwise method. Results: It was found that the level of HRQL was mostly moderate, however, low levels were observed in the Sports and free time and Future dimensions. The Success dimension of the self-esteem scale positively correlated with the Sports and free time dimensions (r(60) = 0.59). Physical health (r(60) = 0.54) and Self-perception (r(60) = 0.48) of the quality of life scale, in addition to having shown a high level of prediction of quality of life (R2 = 0.35, p = 0.00). Conclusions: It was found that self-esteem turns out to be a predictor variable of HRQL in patients with hemophilia. It is necessary to strengthen self-esteem and the way of coping with chronic pain in people with this condition in favor of their quality of life and well-being(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. La hemofilia es una condición rara hereditaria, crónica, potencialmente discapacitante e incapacitante, caracterizada por frecuentes sangrados debidos al déficit del factor VIII coagulante, Hemofilia A o del factor IX Hemofilia B. Las evaluaciones de calidad de vida en personas con hemofilia, basadas principalmente en el aspecto biológico, llevaron a considerar un importante enfoque bioético que evalúe la afectación de la autonomía y dignidad debida a la enfermedad. OBJETIVO. Registrar la percepción de la autonomía y dignidad de personas que viven con hemofilia. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS. Estudio descriptivo transversal. Población de 92 y muestra de 28 varones mayores de 18 años con diagnóstico de hemofilia, atendidos en la Clínica de Coagulopatías Congénitas del Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín en el periodo marzo 2021 a agosto del 2021. Se excluyó a varones menores de 18 años atendidos en otras instituciones del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Estudio basado en el desarrollo de las capacidades centrales descritas por Martha Nussbaum. Se aplicó el test The Hemophilia Well Being Index que evaluó calidad de vida con relación al bienestar personal asociado a salud, y la herramienta Body Mapping que analizó en base al interpretativismo fenomenológico. RESULTADOS. El 100% de personas presentaron afectación en algún área de la vida investigada por el Hemophilia Well Being Index, que se confirma con las expresiones escritas y gráficas recopiladas por el Body Mapping. CONCLUSIÓN. La autonomía y dignidad se encuentran afectadas en las personas que viven con hemofilia, al igual que las capacidades centrales; es importante valorar cómo estos parámetros afectan la consecución de logros, lo que se debe considerar en estudios futuros.


INTRODUCTION. Hemophilia is a rare hereditary, chronic, potentially disabling and incapacitating condition, characterized by frequent bleeds due to deficiency of clotting factor VIII, Hemophilia A or factor IX Hemophilia B. Quality of life assessments in people with hemophilia, mainly based on the biological aspect, led to consider an important bioethical approach that evaluates the impairment of autonomy and dignity due to the disease. OBJECTIVE. To record the perception of autonomy and dignity of people living with hemophilia. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Cross-sectional descriptive study. Population of 92 and sample of 28 males over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of hemophilia, attended at the Congenital Coagulopathy Clinic of the Carlos Andrade Marin Specialty Hospital in the period March 2021 to August 2021. Males under 18 years of age attended in other institutions of the National Health System were excluded. The study was based on the development of the central capabilities described by Martha Nussbaum. The test The Hemophilia Well Being Index was applied, which evaluated quality of life in relation to personal wellbeing associated with health, and the tool Body Mapping which analyzed based on phenomenological interpretivism. RESULTS. 100% of people presented affectation in some area of life investigated by the Hemophilia Well Being Index, which is confirmed by the written and graphic expressions collected by the Body Mapping. CONCLUSION. Autonomy and dignity are affected in people living with hemophilia, as are core capacities; it is important to assess how these parameters affect achievement, which should be considered in future studies.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of one kind of human prothrombin complex concentrate in treatment of patients with hemophilia B. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 36 patients with hemophilia B treated with human prothrombin complex concentrate produced by Shenzhen Weiguang Biological Products Co. Ltd. from May 2018 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and its clinical efficacy and safety were analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 35 subjects entered the full analysis set (FAS)and safety set (SS), 33 subjects entered the per protocol Set (PPS). Thirty minutes after the first infusion of FAS subjects, the activity of coagulation factor Ⅸ increased from (3.93±0.975) IU/dL to (25.61±9.337) IU/dL, and the infusion efficiency was (96.43±22.007)%. The increased value of coagulation factor Ⅱ activity was (73.25±14.874) IU/dL. The activity of coagulation factor Ⅶ was (42.79±16.847) IU/dL. The increased value of coagulation factor Ⅹ activity was (65.29±17.042) IU/dL. The increased value of coagulation factor Ⅸ activity was (21.68±9.434%) IU/dL. Twenty-four hours after the first infusion of FAS subjects, the improvement of bleeding symptoms and signs was excellent in 21 cases (60%), improved in 14 cases (40.0%), and the effective rate was 100%. The incidence of adverse reactions was 2.9%(1/35), and there was no antibody to human coagulation factor Ⅸ and new virus infection. 【Conclusion】 Infusion of human prothrombin complex concentrate produced by Shenzhen Weiguang Biological Products Co. Ltd. in the treatment of hemophilia B has significant clinical efficacy and good safety.

ABSTRACT

Hemophilia B is a genetic disorder caused by coagulation factor Ⅸ(FⅨ) deficiency, mainly manifesting as joint, muscle and deep tissue bleeding. Hemophilia pseudotumor is a mass formed by soft tissue liquefaction and necrosis caused by repeated bleeding. Most pseudotumors occur in the bone and muscle. We report a case of hemophilia B with pseudotumor formation in the pelvis and abdomen, where lesion location is relatively rare. After active and effective hemostasis, the patient's hematuria symptom gradually improved. This case suggests that early and timely hemostatic treatment is crucial for patients with hemophilia.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To identify and analyze the quality of scientific evidence from clinical efficacy studies present in the package inserts of coagulation factors, used in the treatment of hemophilia A and B. Methods Documentary study developed in two stages. The first stage consisted of identifying the medicine packages inserts electronically registered in the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, and analyzing the availability of the bibliographic references cited therein. This analysis was conducted in the PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. The second step was the analysis of the methodological quality of the efficacy studies. Two trained researchers used the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias version 5.1.0 tools for methodological quality analysis, and Review Manager 5.4 software to generate the risk of bias graph. Results Of the 17 medicines listed, 7 had referenced package inserts. Of these, 10 studies were eligible for analysis of methodological quality. More than half of the analyzed studies did not control for selection, performance, and detection bias. A total of 100% controlled attrition and reporting biases, and 50% had a high risk of conflict of interest. Conclusion The biases present are significant and may have influenced the overestimation of the effects of the outcomes of each of the studies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en adultos con hemofilia afiliados a un programa de coagulopatía y explorar su asociación con factores clínicos y demográficos. Diseño: estudio observacional de corte transversal descriptivo y exploratorio. Se aplicó a todos los pacientes con hemofilia de una clínica especializada de Medellín (Colombia) el cuestionario de calidad de vida específico para hemofilia en Latinoamérica (Hemolatin-QoL). Se usaron medidas de estadística descriptiva y se evaluaron los factores asociados con las distintas dimensiones de la calidad de vida usando Kruskall-Wallis y correlación de Spearman. Resultados: se incluyeron 48 adultos con una mediana de edad de 32 años (RI: 23,2-40,7). La población varió en la gravedad de la hemofilia (leve 16,7 %, moderada 12,5 % y grave 70,8 %) y en el tratamiento (75,0 % profilaxis, 22,9 % demanda y 2,1 % inmunotolerancia). El 37,5 % tenía movilidad reducida y el 16,7 % comorbilidad. El puntaje total del Hemolatin-QoL fue 81,5. Los factores asociados con una menor calidad de vida fueron una mayor edad, número de comorbilidades, nivel socioeconómico bajo, presencia de artropatía y movilidad reducida. Conclusiones: la calidad de vida obtuvo puntuaciones cercanas a la máxima posible del cuestionario. Los factores asociados con la calidad de vida son similares a los encontrados en otras poblaciones y están relacionados con dificultades económicas, otras enfermedades y discapacidad. Es necesario realizar estudios posteriores y longitudinales con una muestra mayor para establecer asociaciones causales.


SUMMARY Objective: To determine the quality of life related to health in adults with hemophilia affiliated with a coagulopathic disorders program and to explore its association with clinical and demographic factors. Design: A cross sectional and descriptive study was performed. The hemophilia-specific quality of life questionnaire in Latin America (Hemolatin-QoL) was applied to all hemophilia patients at a specialized clinic in Medellín (Colombia). Descriptive statistical measures were used, and the factors associated with the different dimensions of quality of life were evaluated using the Kruskall-Wallis test and the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Forty-eight adults were included, with a median age of 32 years old (RI: 23.2-40.7). The population varied in the severity of hemophilia (16.7% mild, 12.5% moderate, and 70.8% severe) and in treatment (75% prophylaxis, 22.9% demand and 2.1% immuno-tolerance.), 37.5% had reduced mobility, while 16.7% suffered from comorbidity. The total Hemolatin-Qol score was 81.5. The factors associated with lower quality of life were: older age, number of comorbidities, low socioeconomic level, presence of arthropathy and reduced mobility. Conclusions: The quality-of-life scores obtained by the study were close to the maximum possible score of the questionnaire. The factors associated with quality of life are similar to those found in other populations and are related to economic difficulties, other diseases and disability. Further longitudinal studies with a larger sample are necessary to establish causal associations.

Summary: Introduction: hemophilia is a hereditary disease, linked to chromosome X and caused by the deficit of factor VIII (type A) and IX (type B). Estimated prevalence at birth is 24.6 cases every 100,000 boys for hemophilia A and 5 cases every 100,000 cases for hemphilia B. The Transfusion Medical Department (TMD) of the Pereira Rossell Children's Hospital Center (CHPR, acronym in Spanish) is the national reference center (NRC) for patients under 18 years of age. A comprehensive, inter-disciplinary approach to hemophilic patients at a specialized center decreases morbidity and mortality and contributes to improving quality of life. Objective: to describe the epidemiologic, clinical and progression characteristics of hemophilic patients of under 18 years of age assisted at the TMD-CHPR between January 1st 2016 and December 31st, 2018. Methodology: descriptive, retrospective study of all hemophilic patients of under 18 years of age. Variables described: age, circumstances of diagnosis, type and severity of hemophilia, health check-ups, tests, complications, frequency and reasons for hospital admittance, treatment. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Results: 67 patients were assisted, 57 with hemophilia A and 10 with hemophilia B. Median age was 8 years. Severe hemophilia was present in 61 patients, moderate in 2 and mild in 4. 41 had a family history of coagulopathy. Median age at diagnosis was 2 months. 24 patients with hemophilia A and 5 patients with hemophilia B were diagnosed during the neonatal period. 7 patients developed inhibitors, all of them with severe hemophilia. Conclusions: in this study there is a predominance of patients with severe hemophilia A, known family history of coagulopathy, under prophylactic treatment with coagulation factors. This study provides valuable information about the characteristics of these patients, which contributes to improved clinical management and planning strategies to improve their quality of care.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar a força muscular periférica em adultos portadores de hemofilia, por meio da dinamometria manual, e verificar a diferença da força muscular de acordo com a classificação de gravidade da hemofilia. Método: Participaram da pesquisa 20 homens divididos em 2 grupos, um com hemofílicos e um controle; foi aplicada uma ficha avaliativa seguida do teste de preensão palmar. Resultados: Quando comparados os dois grupos, foi observada diferença estatística significativa nas variáveis estatura (p=0,007) e força de preensão dos lados dominante (p=0,04) e não dominante (0,002), favorecendo o grupo controle; quando comparada a força de preensão dos hemofílicos com a doença leve e grave, houve diferença significativa para o lado não dominante (p=0,01). Conclusão: Pode-se associar a diminuição de força de preensão para o grupo de hemofílicos à sua condição de doença crônica hereditária. Entretanto, como o número de participantes foi pequeno, esses resultados sugestivos, mostram a necessidade de mais estudos sobre o tema


Objective: to evaluate peripheral muscle strength in adults with hemophilia, through manual dynamometry, and to verify the difference in muscle strength according to the classification of hemophilia severity. Method: Twenty men participated in the research, divided into 2 groups, one with hemophiliacs and one control; an evaluation form was applied, followed by the handgrip test. Results: When the two groups were compared, a statistically significant difference was observed in the variables height (p=0.007) and grip strength of the dominant (p=0.04) and non-dominant (0.002) sides, favoring the control group; when comparing the grip strength of hemophiliacs with mild and severe disease, there was a significant difference for the non-dominant side (p=0.01). Conclusion: The decrease in grip strength for the group of hemophiliacs can be associated with their condition of hereditary chronic disease. However, as the number of participants was small, these suggestive results show the need for more studies on the subject.


Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la fuerza muscular periférica en adultos con hemofilia, mediante dinamometría manual, y verificar la diferencia en la fuerza muscular según la clasificación de severidad de la hemofilia. Método: Participaron de la investigación 20 hombres, divididos en 2 grupos, uno con hemofílicos y otro control; Se aplicó un formulario de evaluación, seguido de la prueba de agarre. Resultados: Al comparar los dos grupos, se observó una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en las variables altura (p = 0,007) y fuerza de agarre en los lados dominantes (p = 0,04) y no dominantes (0,002), favoreciendo al grupo control; al comparar la fuerza de agarre de los hemofílicos con la enfermedad leve y grave, hubo una diferencia significativa para el lado no dominante (p = 0,01). Conclusión: La disminución de la fuerza de prensión del grupo de hemofílicos puede estar asociada a su condición de enfermedad crónica hereditaria. Sin embargo, como el número de participantes fue pequeño, estos sugerentes resultados muestran la necesidad de más estudios sobre el tema.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: traçar o perfil epidemiológico de hemofílicos vinculados a uma associação de pacientes do estado de Goiás, Brasil. Método: pesquisa transversal realizada com indivíduos do gênero masculino acima dos 18 anos de idade. Catorze participantes foram submetidos a uma ficha de avaliação contendo questões sociodemográficas e clínicas. O presente estudo utilizou análises de frequências para descrição da amostra. Para as variáveis quantitativas rodou-se o teste de normalidade de Shapiro Wilk. Resultados: a média de idade encontrada foi de 32,64 anos ± 9,32. A maior parte dos indivíduos residia a menos de 30 km do centro de tratamento e apresentaram a forma grave da doença. Em relação às comorbidades, um indivíduo apresentou inibidor do fator de coagulação e as infecções virais estiveram ausentes em 71,4% dos participantes, em um período que não havia controle antiviral. As hemorragias articulares predominantes foram observadas no cotovelo e joelho e o hematoma muscular esteve presente em 50% da amostra. O tratamento mais utilizado pelos participantes foi a profilaxia secundária. Conclusão: a partir da caracterização dos pacientes hemofílicos cadastrados em uma associação é possível compreender mais sobre a patologia em estudo, demonstrando que as infecções virais se constituem em importantes comorbidades adquiridas por hemofílicos adultos.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT To report one case of bleeding episodes after impacted teeth extractions had been performed in a patient with undiagnosed clotting disorder, describing a sequence of approaches for hemostasis up to the appropriated diagnosis and effective resolution. A male 16-year old patient with surgical indication to remove eight impacted teeth. After the surgery, there were bleeding episodes, being needed for hospital admission to keep on his physiological functions, blood pressure and heartbeat frequency regularly, to carry out laboratory blood tests, and to achieve hemostasis by using antifibrinolytics and blood products. After 24 hours, 11% of IX clotting factor was verified into bloodstream by specific blood test, being diagnosed with mild Hemophilia B. From the diagnosis, infusions of IX clotting factor were performed to the adequate resolution and recovery of the patient. The clinical conducts were efficient to keep on stable vital signs and achieving appropriate diagnosis. However, preventive behaviors should be applied in hemophilic patients in pre- or intra-operative, avoiding circumstances that can compromise health condition of the patient.


RESUMO Relatar um caso de episódios de sangramento após remoção de dentes inclusos em paciente com distúrbio de coagulação não diagnosticado, descrevendo uma sequência de condutas para hemostasia até o diagnóstico apropriado e resolução efetiva. Paciente do gênero masculino, 16 anos, com indicação de remoção de 8 dentes inclusos. Após a cirurgia, houve episódios de sangramento, sendo necessária sua internação para integridade das funções orgânicas básicas, realização de exames laboratoriais, controle hemodinâmico e tentativa de obtenção de hemostasia por meio de antifibrinolíticos e hemoderivados. Após 24 horas de internação, 11% do fator IX de coagulação foi verificado na corrente sanguínea por meio de exame específico, sendo o paciente diagnosticado com Hemofilia B de caráter leve. A partir do diagnóstico, infusões do fator deficiente foram realizadas para resolutividade adequada e recuperação do paciente. As condutas realizadas foram eficientes para manutenção dos sinais vitais até a hemostasia obtida após diagnóstico adequado. No entanto, as condutas preventivas devem ser aplicadas em pacientes hemofílicos no pré- ou trans-operatórios, evitando circunstâncias que podem comprometer o estado de saúde do paciente.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background hemophilia is a rare coagulopathy, treated by replacing the missing blood clotting factor. Objective to assess the direct costs of hemophilia treatment from the perspective of the Unified Health System, highlighting the impact costs of new therapeutic modalities. Method partial economic assessment of the direct costs of hemophilia, in which were collected data from patient records from 2011 to 2015, at the Blood Center in the city of Juiz de Fora. Costs were assigned to consultations, exams, hospitalizations, and medications according to the price list of the National Health Surveillance Agency (in Portuguese ANVISA) and the Table of Procedures, and Medications. Results among 98 patients evaluated, 76 had hemophilia A, and 43.3% presented severe hemophilia. The number of consultations and the consumption of Clotting Factor Concentrates (CFCs) were higher in severe hemophilia. Hospitalizations were rare. Direct costs increased 286.8% from 2011 to 2015. The mean annual cost per patient was R$57,416.43, with no significant difference between hemophilia A and B. The expenditures for factor concentrates amounted to 99.46% of total costs. The actual impact cost was more than R$6,000,000.00. Conclusion the direct costs of hemophilia were high, mainly due to factor concentrates. There was an increase in costs with the incorporation of technologies, although there are some areas with potential inefficiencies.


Resumo Introdução hemofilia é uma coagulopatia rara, tratada com reposição do fator de coagulação deficiente. Objetivo avaliar custos diretos do tratamento da hemofilia pela perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro, destacando o impacto nos custos das novas modalidades terapêuticas. Método análise econômica parcial dos custos diretos da hemofilia. Foram coletados dados de prontuários de pacientes do Hemocentro de Juiz de Fora de 2011-2015. Aos atendimentos, exames, hospitalizações e medicamentos, foram atribuídos custos conforme as Tabelas de Preços da Agência de Vigilância Sanitária e de Procedimentos e Medicamentos do SUS. Resultados entre 98 pacientes avaliados, 76 tinham hemofilia A e 43,3%, hemofilia grave. O número de consultas e o consumo de concentrados de fatores da coagulação foram mais altos na hemofilia grave. Hospitalizações foram raras. Os custos diretos aumentaram 286,8% entre 2011-2015. O custo anual médio por paciente foi R$57.416,43 sem diferença significativa entre hemofilia A e B. Os concentrados de fator corresponderam a 99,46% dos custos totais. O impacto nos custos foi de mais de R$6.000.000,00. Conclusão custos diretos da hemofilia são altos, principalmente devido aos concentrados de fator. O aumento nos custos com as novas tecnologias foi muito elevado embora ainda haja áreas com ineficiências no tratamento da hemofilia.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: descrever a atuação de médicos e enfermeiros no atendimento de emergência ao paciente hemofílico. Metodologia: estudo exploratório e qualitativo, realizado com enfermeiros e médicos do setor de emergência de uma Unidade Hospitalar de referência e de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento na região Centro-Sul do Ceará. Os dados foram coletados em setembro e outubro de 2018 por meio de questionário semiestruturado composto por questões abertas e fechadas. As respostas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética. Resultados: evidenciou-se uma fragilidade no conhecimento dos profissionais acerca da hemofilia e uma insuficiência no suporte das unidades para oferta do cuidado ao hemofílico. As unidades não possuem um protocolo de atendimento para atender esses pacientes, dificultando a execução do cuidado direcionado ao hemofílico. A falta de capacitação dos profissionais, medicamentos específicos para hemofilia e de hematologista na equipe constituem dificuldades em ofertar a assistência. Conclusão: o estudo identificou a necessidade de educação permanente em saúde no atendimento aos pacientes hemofílicos, desburocratizar e tornar menos fragmentado o cuidado em redes, com vista a garantir a integralidade do cuidado.


Objective: to describe the role of doctors and nurses in emergency care for hemophiliac patients. Methodology: exploratory and qualitative research, carried out with nurses and doctors in the emergency department of a referral Hospital Unit and an Emergency Care Unit in the Center-South region of Ceará. Data collection took place from September to October 2018 using a semi-structured questionnaire composed of open and objective questions. The responses were submitted to content analysis. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee. Results: there was a weakness in the professionals' expertise about hemophilia and insufficiency in the support of units to provide care to the hemophiliac. The units do not have a flow protocol to assist these patients, making it difficult to carry out care directed to hemophiliacs. The lack of training of professionals, specific medications for hemophilia and a hematologist in the team represent difficulties in assisting. Conclusion: the research identified the need for permanent health education in the care of hemophiliac patients, reducing bureaucracy and making care in networks less fragmented, aimed at guaranteeing comprehensive care
