A Multi-center, Ambispective Cohort Study to Evaluate the Impact of Iptacopan for Adult Patients With PNH in China

The implementation of new standards for the management of PNH and the use of iptacopan in patients with PNH are expected to change the treatment landscape and improve the overall prognosis of patients.

Based on these backgrounds, we plan to conduct a real-world study of iptacopan to further evaluate its impact on treatment-related outcomes, disease management, and healthcare resource utilization in Chinese patients with PNH.

    WPAI-SHP is a tool used to measure the impact of health problems on work productivity and regular activities. The scale includes several components.

    Absenteeism: This measures the percentage of work time missed due to a specific health problem.

    Presenteeism: This measures the percentage of impairment while working due to the health problem.

    Work productivity loss: This combines absenteeism and presenteeism to measure overall work impairment.

    Activity impairment: This measures the percentage of impairment in regular activities due to the health problem.

    The scores are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity, which means worse outcomes.
