1 Fatigue in patients with Primary Immunodeficiency dfii (PID) Riet Strik Albers Nurse Practitioner immunology and infectious diseases April 19, 2016

2 Fatigue: up to date Definition: ADULTS Fatigue can be manifested as difficulty or inability initiating activity (perception of generalized weakness); reduced capacity maintaining activity (easy fatigability); and difficulty with concentration, memory, and emotional stability (mental fatigue) CHILDREN Fatigue is always linked to a disease. Fatigue was not found as a presenting symptom Page 2

3 Page 3

4 Two studies (PID) Children: fatigue >< quality of life Adults: fatigue >< intravenous immunoglobulin suppletion and psychosocial variables Page 4

5 Background: study 1 In the Netherlands 1/ children are born with a primary immunodeficiency Approximately 70% humoral immunodeficiency Patients often report fatigue as a dominant complaint No study found in the Netherlands about quality of live in children with PID just tired? Page 5

6 Research questions 1. Are children between 8 18 years with PID more fatigued than healthy children? 2. What is the difference of quality of live (QOL) between these children and healthy ones? Is fatigue associated with QOL? with a specific age? a specific immunodeficiency? Is there a relation between fatigue and IgG level in the blood? fatigue and different treatments? Page 6

7 Methods Population: Children from 8 18y with a humoral immunodeficiency No comorbidity Different treatment options No medication Antibiotics prophylaxis (AB) Immunoglobulin substitution (IVIG/SCIG) Combination of AB and IVIG/SCIG Controls: Dutch studies in healthy children, performed with the same questionnaires and the same age Design: cross sectional descriptive study Gordijn et al., 2010; Engelen et al., 2009 Page 7

8 Methods PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (Higher scores = lower problems) 18 items in 3 subscales (past month) General fatigue Sleep/rest fatigue Cognitive fatigue Varni et al., 2002; Gordijn et al., 2010 Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) (Higher scores = better QOL) 23 items in 4 subscales (past month) Physical functioning Social functioning Emotional functioning School functioning Psychosociale score (sum van SES) Varni et al., 1999; Engelen et al., 20 Age specific questionnaires: 8 12 y and y of age Children score on a 5 point Likert scale, transferred in a scale of Page 8

18 Isfatigue associated with a specific immunodeficiency? Mean total group with PID = 65 Mean healthy children = 79 Specific humoral immunodeficiency Mean [range] IgA deficiency (n=3) 56 [43 73] IgG subclass deficiency (n=2) 62 [43 80] Specific polysaccharide antibody deficiency (n=3) 80 [66 88] 8 12y CVID (n=4) 68 [41 90] Agammaglobulinemia (n=2) 56 [45 68] Mean total group with PID = 81 Mean healthy children = 75 Specific humoral immunodeficiency Mean [range] IgA deficiency (n=4) 79 [54 100] Specific polysaccharide antibody deficiency (n=1) 77 [NA] 13 18y CVID (n=3) 85 [65 96] 18

19 Relation between fatigue and different treatments? Meanscore total group 65, range Antibiotic prophylaxis IVIG/SCIG n Mean [range] [NA] [41 88] [45 89] 4 66 [43 80] 8 12 y Meanscore total group 81, range Antibiotic prophylaxis IVIG/SCIG n Mean [range] [94 96] [NA] [NA] 4 71 [54 91] y 19 + = medication = no medication

20 Conclusions Children between 8 12 y with PID are significant more fatigued and they have a lower QOL of life than their healthy peers Children between y with PID are not more fatigued and have almost equal QOLcomparing to peers Children with IgA deficiency and agammaglobulinemia are more fatigued than children with other immunodeficiency's in the younger group We found no correlation lti bt between fatigue fti and the IGth IgG through h level lor the different treatments 20

21 Fatigue in adult PID patients Study 2 We don t know what s wrong with him whatever, a little cognitive therapy never hurt anybody Strik Albers R. et al, submitted 21

22 Background Patients often report fatigue as a dominant complaint Some report fatigue just before the IVIG infusion, some just after and some notice no effect of IVIG infusion Immunologists often don t understand this complaint and do not know how to handle it Is it serious? Is there a relation to underlying immunodeficiency/disease? Is there a relation with the frequency or severity of infections? Is it related dto the patients t own behaviour and beliefs f? Is there a relation with IVIG therapy? fluctuating IgG serum concentrations or dosage or dosage interval or infusion rate? 22

23 Research questions What is the severity and prevalence of fatigue in hypogamma patients treated with IVIG infusion Isthereanassociation association betweenfatigue andtheivig infusion What is therelationship between fatigue and somatic and psychosocial patient characteristics ti 23

24 Methods Population: Adult hypogammaglobulinaemia patients treated with IVIG in 2013 Exclusion criteria: Co morbidity that could explain fatigue (Obesitas, COPD, heart failure, depression) Controls for the CIS score: From a cohort of 1900 panel members: age, sex matched selection of 222 healthy people (CentErdata research institute, Tilburg ) Controls for data obtained by the other questionnaires: Normal values as obtained in the (non matched) normal Dutch population Prospective study 24

30 Results: Association between fatigue and the IVIG No statistical significant difference of any of the combined data obtained before and after IVIG This counts for the data obtained by a. Questionnaires b. Actometer c. ipod 30

31 Results (n=15) ipod score better after IVIG Actometer: no difference ipod: 3 subgroups reporting detrimental beneficial no effect (n=14) ipod score worse after IVIG (n=10) ipod score similar after IVIG 31

32 Conclusion The majority (58%) of patients with PID who are treated with IVIGinfusion is severely fatigued and this has a significant impact on their daily lf life Fatigue is not related to dose or frequency of IVIG infusion Fatigue is related to dyspnea and cognitive behavioral factor Opens new insights into possible role of cognitive behavioral interventions 32
