Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Management and the HAERO App: Enhancing Patient Care, Services, and Advancing Research
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease that causes unpredictable and painful attacks of swelling in various parts of the body. These attacks, which can last for days, significantly disrupt daily life. Symptoms range from mild to severe and can include:
- Swelling in the face, arms, legs, hands, feet, throat, abdomen, or genitals
- Excruciating abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Airway swelling, which can be life-threatening
Managing HAE is highly individualized and can be costly, with expenses ranging from $30,000 to over $550,000 annually, depending on medication type, frequency, dosage, attack rate, hospitalization, and productivity loss. Therefore, understanding the impact of HAE on patients' productivity, quality of life, medication usage, efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness in real-world settings is crucial.
