Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are genetically determined defects of the immune system. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment of this group of disorders, personalized rehabilitation therapy aimed at improving the quality of a patient’s life (QOL) is not standardized. Our study of the rehabilitation effectiveness in a group of PID patients (n = 78; 59 boys and 19 girls), treated at the Russkoe Pole Rehabilitation Center, demonstrated significant improvement of the QOL in all aspects. The total QOL scale score increased from 66.13 to 74.89 points according to a child form and from 65.37 to 70.86 points according to a parent form. The greatest improvement in the QOL was achieved in children under 12 years of age, with an increase in the total scale score from 63.22 to 74.95 points (child form), and from 63.24 to 71.34 points (parent form). Therefore, personalized rehabilitation therapy can improve the QOL of patients with PID and can be applied in various rehabilitation centers. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology of Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation.
