The implementation of the state program “7 highcost nosologies” and the active work of Russian hematologists have significantly improved the specialized care for children and adults with Hemophilia. Russian hemophilia patient registry as of 10.25.2018 contained information about 7433 patients, of whom with hemophilia A – 6525 people. About 400 people were diagnosed with hemophilia with inhibitors. The inhibitor predominantly appeared at child and young age (up to 20 years). There is a high supply of coagulation factors concentrates for the treatment of hemophilia in the Russian Federation – 8.1 IU of coagulation factor VIII per capita in 2018, which corresponds to the graduation “full integration into society” according to the scale proposed by the World Hemophilia Federation. Due to the sufficient availability of coagulation factors, it is possible to conduct elimination of inhibitors by immune tolerance induction. Treatment with antiinhibitor coagulant complex and eptacog alfa (activated) requires a good venous access and is not always effective. Treatment results remain unsatisfactory in 67 % of adult patients with severe hemophilia with low inhibitor titer due to the number of bleeding per year exceeds 4. Unsatisfactory treatment results are noted in more than 1/ 3 patients with a high inhibitor titer, despite the ongoing prophylaxis with bypassing agents. Currently, clinical studies of fundamentally new drugs for hemophilia treatment, including the inhibitory form, are ongoing. One such drug is emicizumab, which is a bispecific humanized monoclonal antibody that bridges activated factor IX and factor X to restore the function of missing activated factor VIII Emicizumab is not neutralized by inhibitors to FVIII, which allows it to be successfully used in the inhibitory form of hemophilia A. The results of HAVEN 1 and HAVEN 2 studies showed the advantages of using emicizumab in prophylactic regimen in children and adults with the inhibitory form of hemophilia A compared with bypassing agents.
Diamond–Blackfen Anemia (DBA) is a rare, clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder from the group of congenital syndromes of bone marrow failure. The purpose of this work is to identify the main medical-frequency characteristics of DBA (incidence, prevalence, mortality, cartographic analysis) in children in the Russian Federation during the observation period 2011–2016. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Immunology. The Russian register of DBA patients, which had been developed and maintained since 2012 year by NMITS DGOI, was used to obtained epidemiological data and their analysis. At the end of 2018 year 141 patients from 137 families were included in the register. The average annual incidence rate of children with DBA for the Russian Federation was 0.63 ± 0.034, the average annual prevalence rate – 5.75 ± 0.87 per 100 thousand newborns born alive; mortality rate – 2.12%; the cartographic method of research showed that the largest number of patients was registered in the Central Federal District of the country, which is explained by the high population living in this district.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
