ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Pompe disease is caused by a rare biallelic mutation in the GAA gene resulting in acid α-glucosidase deficiency and glycogen accumulation.AIM:
We analyzed hospital admissions associated with the administration of Myozyme®, utilizing the French hospital discharge database, known in France as the Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information (PMSI), which comprehensively captures all hospital activity within the country.METHODS:
In this observational study, we examined hospitalization records from April 4, 2012, to December 31, 2019, within the PMSI database, focusing on admissions where Myozyme® was administered. We particularly investigated the incidence of critical care admissions and adverse events (AEs) related to Myozyme®.RESULTS:
From 2012 to 2019, approximately 26,714 hospital stays involving Myozyme® administration were recorded for 239 patients. Most (96.6%) of these were outpatient stays, with only 3.2% in critical care. Furthermore, hospitalizations without critical care needs increased from 96% in 2012 to 99% in 2019. Of the patients receiving at least one infusion, 997 critical care admissions were recorded, with 781 (78.3%) occurring concurrent with or the day after the Myozyme® treatment without directly correlating to adverse effects of enzyme therapy.CONCLUSIONS:
The analysis of the French hospital discharge database indicated that Myozyme® was associated with a low incidence of AEs and complications in a hospital context, supporting the consideration of its safe use in home-infusion settings.
