Attack frequency and associated factors in hereditaryangioedema patients: a single-centre experience
The high frequency of attacks in our patients was related to the lack of use of LTP agents and personal life stress. Despite severe attacks and a family history of HAE-related deaths, pharmacophobia to LTP was common, with pharmacophobia resulting from side effects of second-line LTP agents. Our findings highlight the need for our patients to have access to psychosocial support programs and first-line LTP agents.
