Social Impacts and Quality of Life in Patients with β-Thalassaemia
My selection for this issue is the article ‘Social Impact and Quality of Life of Patients with β-Thalassemia: A Systematic Review’ by Greco and Marino. Quality of life is becoming more and more important in the evaluation of clinical trials, and also by regulatory authorities, particularly in chronic diseases (which can be seen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s [FDA] recent position on luspatercept). Therefore, understanding its meaning and limitations is very important.
