Gaucher disease in Brazil: a comprehensive 16 year retrospective study on survival, cost, and treatment insights
This study provides insights into the survival rates and associated risk factors for GD patients in Brazil, contributing to the global understanding of GD and its management. While we acknowledge the inherent limitations of relying largely on electronic medical records and categorical codes, our findings underscore the need for early diagnosis, timely initiation of treatment, effective management of comorbidities, and personalized dosing strategies to improve patient outcomes. Future studies should aim to incorporate clinical verification of electronic data to further enhance the reliability and applicability of these findings.
