Quality of life, psychological adjustment, and adaptive functioning of patients with intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism - a systematic review.

  • Nina A Zeltner‎ et al.

  • 2014‎

In recent decades, considerable progress in diagnosis and treatment of patients with intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism (IT-IEM) such as urea cycle disorders (UCD), organic acidurias (OA), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), or tyrosinemia type 1 (TYR 1) has resulted in a growing group of long-term survivors. However, IT-IEM still require intense patient and caregiver effort in terms of strict dietetic and pharmacological treatment, and the threat of metabolic crises is always present. Furthermore, crises can affect the central nervous system (CNS), leading to cognitive, behavioural and psychiatric sequelae. Consequently, the well-being of the patients warrants consideration from both a medical and a psychosocial viewpoint by assessing health-related quality of life (HrQoL), psychological adjustment, and adaptive functioning. To date, an overview of findings on these topics for IT-IEM is lacking. We therefore aimed to systematically review the research on HrQoL, psychological adjustment, and adaptive functioning in patients with IT-IEM.


Key patient-reported outcomes in children and adolescents with intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism: an international Delphi-based consensus.

  • Florin Bösch‎ et al.
  • Orphanet journal of rare diseases‎
  • 2022‎

Acute intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism (IT-IEM) such as urea cycle disorders and non-acute IT-IEM such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and their treatment have a major impact on the life of affected children and families. Yet patients' and parents' perspectives on the burdens of IT-IEM and its effects on everyday functioning and well-being have rarely been addressed. Patient- and observer-reported outcomes (PROs/ObsROs) are critically important to evaluate and target health care and treatment efficacy. Therefore, it is mandatory to define PROs/ObsROs relevant to patients with IT-IEM, their families, and health care professionals and to provide valid, standardised and reliable measuring instruments. To achieve consensus we performed a two-round, electronic-based modification of a Delphi survey including 27 parents of affected children, nine teenage patients and 35 health professionals (physicians, nutritionists, psychologists). The final set of PROs/ObsROs was discussed and defined in an online consensus meeting with a subsample of three health professionals, three parents and two patients. For this final set, appropriate measures (PROMs/ObsROMs) were assembled.
