1 Assessment of Personal Medical History Knowledge in Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease: A Pilot Study Mimi S. Zhao, MA, Margery Johnson, LCSW, Amanda Pullen, MSSW, LCSW, Kathryn M. Russell, PhD, Kimberly M. Wesley, PsyD, Jane S. Hankins, MD, MS, and Jerlym S. Porter, PhD, MPH ABSTRACT Background: Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) are surviving into adulthood. Mastery of disease knowledge may facilitate treatment continuity in adult care. Objective: To assess the accuracy and extent of medical history knowledge among adolescents with SCD through the use of a personal health record (PHR) form. Methods: 68 adolescent patients with SCD (52.9% male; mean age, 16.8 years; 100% African American) completed a PHR listing significant prior medical events (eg, disease complications, diagnostic evaluations, treatments). Responses were compared against participants electronic medical record. An agreement percentage was calculated to determine accuracy of knowledge. Results: Most adolescents correctly reported their sickle cell genotype (100%), usage of penicillin (97.1%), prior hospitalizations (96.5%), history of prior blood transfusions (93.8%), usage of hydroxyurea (88.2%), and allergies (85.2%). Fewer adolescents accurately reported usage of opioids (52.9%), prior acute chest syndrome events (50.9%), baseline hemoglobin (41.8%), and hepatitis (43.3%), pneumovax (30.2%), and menactra (14.5%) vaccinations. Conclusion: Adolescents are aware of most but not all aspects of their medical history. The present findings can inform areas of knowledge deficits. Future targeted interventions for transition education and preparation may be tailored based on individual disease knowledge. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal sickle hemoglobin resulting in chronic hemolytic anemia and vaso-occlusion [1]. More than 95% of children with SCD in the United States survive into adulthood; however, young adults (YAs) are at risk for mortality shortly after transfer to adult health care [2 5]. Specifically, YAs with SCD (ages 18 to 30) have increased hospital utilization, emergency department visits, and mortality compared to other age-groups [4 7]. During this critical period, transition preparation that includes improving disease literacy and ensuring medical history knowledge may be necessary for optimal outcomes. In the extant YA literature, significant gaps in medical history knowledge during the transition period were observed in pediatric cancer and inflammatory bowel disease patients [8,9]. YAs often require multidisciplinary management of their chronic disease complications [10]. Therefore, possessing comprehensive knowledge of personal health history may facilitate communication with different adult care providers and promote continuity of care. In the SCD transition literature, transition readiness measures have been developed to assess several aspects of knowledge, including medical and disease knowledge; however, these measures are primarily self-reported perceptions of knowledge and do not evaluate the accuracy of knowledge [11,12]. The current pilot study addresses this gap with the aim of assessing medical history knowledge accuracy in adolescents with SCD. METHODS Participants From March 2011 to January 2014, adolescents (aged years) with SCD (any genotype) were approached during their regular health maintenance visits by hema- From the Departments of Psychology (Ms. Zhao, Drs.

Participant Characteristics (n = 68) Characteristic Value Age, mean (SD) years 16.8 (0.9) Male gender, n (%) 36 (52.9) African American race, n (%) 68 (100) SCD genotype, n (%) HbSS 36 (52.9) HbSC 22 (32.3) HbSβ + thalassemia 8 (11.8) HbSβ 0 thalassemia 1 (1.5) HbSHPFH 1 (1.5) Covered by health insurance, n (%) 64 (94.1) Has a pediatrician, n (%) 50 (73.5) tology social workers. They were invited to complete the Personal Health Record (PHR) as an implementation effort of transition preparation within our pediatric SCD program. Personal Health Record The PHR was developed through literature review and discussions with area adult hematologists. The form was modeled after first visit intake forms used in adult hematology clinics. It was reviewed by the hematology medical team and the institution s patient education committee. Prior to implementation, the form was piloted to obtain patient feedback on format and content. The PHR consists of 33 questions with 168 possible items/data points covering 12 domains: personal information (eg, contact information, SCD genotype), health provider information, personal health history (ie, health diagnoses), blood transfusion history, sickle cell pain events, hospitalization history in the previous year, diagnostic testing history (eg, laboratory tests), current medications, immunizations, advance directives, resource information (eg, disability benefits), and activities of daily living. Some questions required patients to check Yes or No (eg, Have you been hospitalized in the past year? Have you received flu vaccine? ) while some required a written response (eg, What medicines do you currently take? ). Adolescents were instructed to complete the PHR independently without the help of their caregivers. After completing the form, the social worker reviewed the answers and/or asked participants perspectives about communicating health information to providers. A copy of the completed PHR was provided to the adolescent to promote continued education regarding medical history knowledge. The retrospective review of the PHR answers and participants characteristics was approved by the institutional review board with a waiver of consent from participants. Statistical Methods PHR answers were compared with each individual s electronic medical record (EMR) for accuracy of responses. PHR responses were considered accurate only if they matched the information in the EMR. PHR items absent in the EMR were not coded (inability to verify the accuracy of responses) to capture the most accurate depiction of adolescents medical history knowledge. Coding was checked by at least 2 coders for response accuracy. Due to lack of EMR information for certain items, we could not verify the accuracy of many PHR items. Therefore, only items with at least 75% of data verified (across all patients who completed the PHR) were included in subsequent analyses. Using SPSS (version 18), an agreement percentage was calculated for each patient across verifiable items and used as the primary outcome measure of knowledge accuracy. We used t tests to investigate gender or genotype differences in medical history accuracy. To examine genotype differences, we stratified the sample by SCD genotype: HbSS/Sβ 0 thalassemia and HbSC/Sβ + thalassemia [13]. RESULTS Patient Characteristics During the period of analysis, there were 95 eligible adolescents with SCD; all were approached, and 68 (71.6%) completed the PHR. Reasons for non-completion included recurrent missed visits, lack of time during the visit, or refusal. Of the 68 who completed the PHR, all were African American, 52.9% were male, and their mean age was 16.8 (± 0.9; range, 15 18) years (Table). Completion of the PHR took on average 15 minutes. Knowledge Accuracy Among Adolescents with SCD Seventeen items in 6 PHR domains had the highest number of data points (at least 75% verified), and therefore were the only items that could be analyzed. Analyzed items included information about sickle cell 252 JCOM June 2016 Vol. 23, No. 6

The accuracy of knowledge for select items is presented in the Figure. Adolescents were accurate reporters of SCD genotype (100%), hospitalizations in the previous year (96.5%), transfusion history (93.8%), and allergies (85.2%). Knowledge deficits included previous diagnosis of ACS (50.9%), baseline hemoglobin levels (41.8%), and hepatitis (43.3%), pneumovax (30.2%), and menactra (14.5%) vaccinations. Regarding current medications, adolescents were more accurate at reporting penicillin (97.1%) and hydroxyurea (88.2%) utilization, but less accurate regarding opioid pain medications (52.9%). No participants were able to report their health history with 100% accuracy. Gender was not significantly associated with overall accuracy (P = 0.36). A significant difference was found in sickle genotype such that individuals with HbSC/Sβ + thalassemia genotype (mean number of items, 8.23; SD = 1.70) were more accurate reporters of their medical history than those with HbSS/Sβ 0 thalassemia genotype (mean number of items, 7.14; SD = 1.75; t(65) = 2.59, P = 0.01). Specifically, those with HbSS/Sβ 0 thalassemia genotype were significantly less accurate reporters of vaccination history (meningococcus t(60) = 3.55, P = 0.001; pneumococcus t(60) = 2.46, P = 0.02; hepatitis t(64) = 2.18, P = 0.03, eye problems t(62) = 3.62; P = 0.001, and surgical history t(62) = 2.14, P = 0.04). DISCUSSION In the present study, we utilized the PHR to assess the accuracy of medical history knowledge of adolescents with SCD preparing to transition to adult care. Most adolescents were accurate reporters of important diseaserelevant information (eg, genotype, transfusion history, hydroxyurea use), which may be a result of these topics being frequently discussed or recently encountered. For example, 97% of adolescents accurately reported penicillin use which may be related to our program s emphasis on infection prevention education. However, disease knowledge of immunization history, prior ACS events, and opioid medication use might have been more difficult to recall due to the long interval from their occurrence until the completion of the PHR. Further, frequent changes in opioid medication use may have (continued on page 256) Vol. 23, No. 6 June 2016 JCOM 253
4 medical history knowledge (continued from page 253) impacted the accuracy of adolescents answers with EMR data. Individuals with HbSC/Sβ + thalassemia genotype were more accurate reporters of their medical history, but the magnitude of difference was not large. These individuals tend to have fewer health issues and therefore less health information to recall, leading to higher accuracy. Furthermore, evidence demonstrates that individuals with HbSS/Sβ 0 thalassemia genotype are at greater risk for cerebrovascular events and subsequent cognitive deficits [14], leading to more memory deficits and difficulty understanding and retaining health information [15]. The results suggest that patient health literacy, or an individual s capacity to understand basic health information [16], may be a mediating factor in assessing for transition readiness. This is especially important given SCD risk for cognitive deficits [17]. Only 17 PHR items were analyzed due to conservative selection of items. Thus the present findings are not representative of the entire medical history. Additionally, the accuracy of medical history knowledge results may be limited by conservatism with abstracting information from the EMR (PHR information was considered accurate if it matched the information found in their EMR). Finally, we did not systematically assess the feasibility and utility of the PHR; ongoing participant feedback would aid in improving the PHR tool and implementation. It would be important to validate the PHR in a larger sample. However, our study is the first to our knowledge to systematically evaluate medical history knowledge among youth with SCD. Conclusion and Practice Implications The present study demonstrates that use of the PHR during regular health maintenance visits can help identify gaps in knowledge among adolescents with SCD who are approaching transfer to adult care. Sufficient knowledge of one s medical history is an important aspect in transition preparation as it can facilitate the communication of medical information, thereby ensuring continuity of care [18,19]. The PHR could be used to teach medical history knowledge, assess a patient s level of transition readiness at different time points, and identify areas for further targeted intervention. Knowledge tools, such as the PHR, can be investigated prospectively to assess the association of disease literacy and clinical outcomes, serving as a possible predictive instrument for transition health outcomes.
