Caregiver burden in Bardet-Biedl syndrome : findings from the CARE-BBS study
© 2023. Rhythm Pharmaceuticals..
BACKGROUND: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous obesity syndrome associated with hyperphagia. Given the early onset of BBS symptoms in childhood and multifaceted complications, this study aimed to quantify the caregiver burden associated with BBS.
METHODS: A cross-sectional, multi-country survey of caregivers from the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Canada, and Germany was designed to quantify the extent of caregiver burden associated with obesity and hyperphagia symptoms (i.e., uncontrollable hunger) among patients with BBS.
RESULTS: A total of 242 caregivers across the four countries met the inclusion criteria and completed the survey. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of the caregivers was 41.9 (6.7) years, and the mean (SD) age of individuals with BBS in their care was 12.0 (3.7) years. Hyperphagia contributed to a BBS diagnosis in 230 of 242 individuals (95.0%). On average, caregivers used eight different weight management approaches for those in their care and expressed a strong desire for more effective weight management methods. Based on the Impacts of Hyperphagia: Caregiver version, patients' hyperphagia had a moderate-to-severe impact on caregiver mood (56.6%), sleep (46.6%), and relationships (48.0%). Caregivers reported experiencing a high level of personal strain (mean [SD], 17.1 [2.9]) and family impact (mean [SD] score, 26.0 [3.8]) due to BBS, as measured by the Revised Impact on Family Scale. Among caregivers in the workforce, there also was high impairment in total work productivity (mean [SD], 60.9% [21.4%]) due to caring for patients with BBS according to the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment. More than half (53%) of the caregivers reported spending over 5,000 out-of-pocket in local currency for medical expenses for the patient with BBS in their care.
CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and hyperphagia have negative impacts on the lives of caregivers of patients with BBS. The burden is demonstrated to be multifaceted, with various components that may interact with and confound each other, including intensive weight management efforts, productivity loses, impaired family dynamics and out-of-pocket medical expenses.
