A real-world study of hereditary angioedema patients due to C1 inhibitor deficiency treated with danazol in the Brazilian Public Health System

This database study is the strategy used to allow us to find and describe the characteristics of patients with HAE who use danazol for long-term prophylaxis in the SUS and identify HCRU outcomes of interest such as hospitalizations, inpatient, and outpatient settings. The high rate of attacks, hospitalizations, and general resource uses highlights the necessity to increase awareness of new strategies and accurate approaches to treat HAE patients. Therefore, our findings are important indicators that our health system and guidelines need to be revised and improved to properly diagnose, treat, and assist patients with HAE.
