COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
200
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Adult patients living or deceased of either sex (age ≥18 years) with a documented FD diagnosis in the last 10 years from the beginning of the study.
  2. Patients with at least 3 years of follow-up or early occurrence of severe/fatal outcomes. Also, adult patients who were lost by their care provider or physician and cannot be traced, but for which it is possible to retrieve data for at least 3 years before the last available follow-up visit or from diagnosis to the occurrence of severe/fatal outcomes if earlier, can be included.
  3. Written informed consent to undergo in the cross-sectional protocol clinical visit and to retrospectively collect genetic/clinical data. In case of deceased or untraceable patients, the written informed consent is not required to collect retrospective clinical data (excluding genetic data).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comprehensive burdenBaseline

Comprehensive burden intended as a measure of extension of clinical impairment assessed by median Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI) at last follow-up or cross-sectional visit.

Occurrence of severe and fatal clinical outcomesBaseline

Occurrence of severe and fatal clinical outcomes derived by event-free survival from birth to last follow-up or cross-sectional visit;

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hamilton depression scaleBaseline

It contains 17 items. A score of 0-7 is considered to be normal while a score of 20 or higher (indicating at least moderate severity)

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality indexBaseline

Seven component scores are derived, each scored 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The component scores are summed to produce a global score (range 0 to 21). Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.

Brief pain inventory scoreBaseline

Uses simple numeric rating scales from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain)

Percentage of patients with disease activityBaseline

Percentage of patients with disease activity assessed by the occurrence rate of clinically significant events from diagnosis to last follow-up or cross-sectional visit.

SF-36Baseline

Covers eight health domains: physical functioning (10 items), bodily pain (2 items), role limitations due to physical health problems (4 items), role limitations due to personal or emotional problems (4 items), emotional well-being (5 items), social functioning (2 items), energy/fatigue (4 items), and general health perceptions (5 items). Scores for each domain range from 0 to 100, with a higher score defining a more favorable health state.

Percentage of patients with disease progressionFrom the first available FASTEX score to baseline

Percentage of patients with disease progression measured by FAbry STabilization indEX and defined as a change \>20% from the first available FASTEX score to the last follow-up and in the last 2 years until the last follow-up and 2 years before the last follow-up or cross-sectional visit (or when available within 3-1 years before last follow-up)

HAQ-disability indexBaseline

There are 8 sections: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 2 or 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section is from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do).The 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by 8.

Patients prescribed to different treatmentsBaseline

Percentage of patients prescribed to different treatment among naïve and switchers groups; determinants of untreated, treated discontinue, treated persisting status.
