          Abstract

          Abstract Objective: To identify and promote initiatives aimed at improving the management by hospital pharmacists of patients with congenital coagulopathies in the Spanish healthcare context. Method: A series of initiatives to improve the care of patients with congenital coagulopathies were identified, evaluated, and prioritized by a panel of hospital pharmacists. Prioritization was based on an assessment of each initiative's impact and feasibility on a scale of 1 to 5. Once initiatives were prioritized, those assigned the highest priority were grouped into three action areas. Results: Seven areas of activity were identified in which the role of hospital pharmacists is key for the management of patients with congenital coagulopathies: coordination with the healthcare team; drug evaluation and selection; dispensing; patient information and education; pharmacotherapeutic follow-up; research and innovation in the field of congenital coagulopathies; and capacity-building and training of hospital pharmacists. Fifteen initiatives were considered a priority, with an average impact score ≥ 3.8 and a feasibility score ≥ 3.2. A total of, 29.4% of the prioritized initiatives corresponded to healthcare, 23.5% to patient information and education, 11.8% to drug evaluation and selection, 11.8% to pharmacotherapeutic monitoring, 11.8% to cross-sectional initiatives, 5.9% to dispensing and 5.9% to research and innovation in the field of congenital coagulopathies: In contrast, initiatives related to capacity-building and training were not prioritized. Conclusions: Three main action areas were proposed based on the initiatives identified as high priority for the management of patients with congenital coagulopathies by a panel of 16 hospital pharmacists. Action areas revolved around specific activities that hospital pharmacy departments can undertake to contribute to improving the healthcare situation in Spain.

          Resumen Objetivo: Identificar e impulsar iniciativas orientadas a la mejora del manejo de los pacientes con coagulopatías congénitas por parte de farmacia hospitalaria en el contexto sanitario español. Método: Se identificaron, evaluaron y priorizaron, por parte de un panel de farmacéuticos especialistas en farmacia hospitalaria, iniciativas para la mejora de la atención a los pacientes con coagulopatías congénitas. La priorización se realizó en base a la valoración de su impacto y factibilidad en una escala del 1 al 5. Una vez obtenida la priorización de las iniciativas, las de mayor puntuación se agruparon en tres grandes líneas de actuación. Resultados: Se identificaron siete áreas de actividad en las que el papel de los farmacéuticos especialistas en farmacia hospitalaria resulta clave para el manejo del paciente con coagulopatías congénitas: coordinación con el equipo asistencial de pacientes con coagulopatías congénitas; evaluación y selección de medicamentos; dispensación; información y formación al paciente; seguimiento farmacoterapéutico; investigación e innovación en estas patologías; formación y capacitación continuada del farmacéutico especialista en farmacia hospitalaria. Se consideraron prioritarias 15 iniciativas por tener una puntuación media de impacto ≥ 3,8 y factibilidad ≥ 3,2. Así, el 29,4% de las iniciativas priorizadas pertenecen al ámbito asistencial, el 23,5% a información y formación al paciente, el 11,8% a evaluación y selección de medicamentos, el 11,8% al seguimiento farmacoterapéutico, el 11,8% a iniciativas transversales, el 5,9% a dispensación y el 5,9% a investigación e innovación en el campo de las coagulopatías congénitas, mientras que las iniciativas referentes a la formación y capacitación a profesionales no resultaron priorizadas. Conclusiones: Se han propuesto tres grandes líneas de actuación basadas en las iniciativas identificadas como altamente prioritarias por un panel de 16 expertos farmacéuticos especialistas en farmacia hospitalaria para el manejo de pacientes con coagulopatías congénitas. Estas iniciativas se basan en acciones concretas y pueden llevarse a cabo desde los servicios de farmacia hospitalaria, por lo que se cree que podrán llegar a tener un impacto real en el contexto sanitario español.

          Guidelines for the management of hemophilia.

          Hemophilia is a rare disorder that is complex to diagnose and to manage. These evidence-based guidelines offer practical recommendations on the diagnosis and general management of hemophilia, as well as the management of complications including musculoskeletal issues, inhibitors, and transfusion-transmitted infections. By compiling these guidelines, the World Federation of Hemophilia aims to assist healthcare providers seeking to initiate and/or maintain hemophilia care programs, encourage practice harmonization around the world and, where recommendations lack adequate evidence, stimulate appropriate studies. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

              The past and future of haemophilia: diagnosis, treatments, and its complications.

              Haemophilia A and B are hereditary haemorrhagic disorders characterised by deficiency or dysfunction of coagulation protein factors VIII and IX, respectively. Recurrent joint and muscle bleeds lead to severe and progressive musculoskeletal damage. Existing treatment relies on replacement therapy with clotting factors, either at the time of bleeding (ie, on demand) or as part of a prophylactic schedule. The major complication of such therapy is the development of neutralising antibodies (ie, inhibitors), which is most frequent in haemophilia A. Treatment might improve considerably with the availability of new modified drugs, which might overcome existing prophylaxis limitations by reducing dosing frequency and thereby rendering therapy less distressing for the patient. Subcutaneous administration of some new therapies would also simplify prophylaxis in children with poor venous access. Gene therapy has the potential for a definitive cure, and important results have been obtained in haemophilia B. Despite improvements in haemophilia care, the availability of clotting factor concentrates for all affected individuals worldwide remains the biggest challenge.
