The Impact of Telemedicine for Monitoring and Treatment of Phenylketonuria Patients on Metabolic Outcome During Coronavirus Disease-19 Outbreak

Tanyel Zubarioglu et al.

Summary: This study found that using an online monitoring system during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a higher percentage of patients with Phe levels within recommended ranges. Decreased Phe washout frequency was significant in the low Phe diet group, and there was a notable increase in Phe tolerance during the pandemic in the same group.

A retrospective study on disease management in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in Austria

Marion Herle et al.

Summary: This study revealed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the number of PKU patients who stopped sending DBS to their metabolic center, especially among those older than 16 years. Patients who continued sending DBS maintained stable Phe concentrations, but the system failed to actively retrieve patients who stopped or reduced Phe measurements.

PKU and COVID19: How the pandemic changed metabolic control

Valentina Rovelli et al.

Summary: The COVID19 pandemic had a significant impact on the metabolic control of PKU patients, especially in older patients. During the pandemic, there was a significant reduction in the average blood phenylalanine concentration in PKU patients, with younger patients being less affected and adults showing better metabolic control. This highlights how external factors, such as a pandemic, can influence PKU patients' adherence to treatment and the potential benefits of teleconsultancy in improving metabolic compliance.
