COVID-19′s Psychological Impact on Chronic Disease Patients Seeking Medical Care

Hager Salah et al.

Summary: Patients with chronic conditions may experience anxiety, depression, and stress during COVID-19, which can change their pattern of seeking medical care. In this study, 52.5% of patients with chronic diseases were depressed, 57.9% were anxious, and 35.6% were stressed during the pandemic. The research findings showed that patients with moderate to severe depression, anxiety, or stress were significantly more likely to have no follow-up for their chronic conditions.

Improved attention linked to sustained phenylalanine reduction in adults with early-treated phenylketonuria

Deborah A. Bilder et al.

Summary: The study shows that there is a relationship between phenylalanine levels and inattention in adult PKU patients, suggesting that reducing phenylalanine levels may improve symptoms of inattention. The greatest improvements in inattention symptoms were seen in participants with the largest reductions in plasma phenylalanine levels, supporting the value of this as a therapeutic goal.

Knowledge, perceptions and behaviours regarding dietary management of adults living with phenylketonuria

Sarah J. Firman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the knowledge, perceptions, and dietary behaviors of adults with PKU in the UK. The results showed that knowledge was associated with dietary adherence, while perception of the diet did not predict adherence, except for concerns for long-term health and feeling well without following the diet.

Global impact of COVID-19 on newborn screening programmes

Vanesa Koracin et al.

Summary: The global COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on newborn screening programs in 29 out of 38 countries, causing delays in sample arrival, supply issues with laboratory equipment and reagents, and reduced staffing due to infection or reassignment. The second wave of the pandemic had a greater impact, affecting a majority of screening centers.

The management of phenylketonuria in adult patients in Italy: a survey of six specialist metabolic centers

Alberto Burlina et al.

Summary: Management of PKU varies significantly between centers in Italy, with differences in the composition of multidisciplinary teams, dietary treatments, compliance and adherence, tetrahydrobiopterin use, and patient follow-up. A homogeneous and shared approach to the management of PKU patients is important to promote therapeutic strategies, patient compliance, and adherence to phenylalanine level targets.

Long-Term Neurological Outcomes of Adult Patients with Phenylketonuria before and after Newborn Screening in Japan

Kenji Yamada et al.

Summary: The study on Japanese PKU patients revealed that the neurological outcomes are significantly improved by the NBS system in Japan, but some patients may still develop neuropsychiatric symptoms due to treatment disruption. Lifelong and strict management is essential for maintaining good prognosis for patients with PKU, even those detected by the NBS.
