| Conditions: |
|
Pulmonary Hypertension |
| Purpose: |
|
The study seeks to analyze the patient reported effects of pulmonary hypertension
medications and compare these with the side effects described on the package inserts. Side
effects for these PH medications have been described in the adult population, but have never
been described in the pediatric population. This information can better improve patient care
and be used to characterize the side effects resultant from these medications.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
As part of standard of care, patients are routinely asked about any symptoms they might be
experiencing. This study seeks to quantify these symptoms for research purposes.
Participants will be identified through those who attend the pediatric pulmonary
hypertension clinic at LPCH. Only children who are currently on one of seven PH medications
(Bosentan, Epoprostenol, Letairis, Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Treprostinil, Ventaris) will be
approached. Patients who consent to be in the study will answer a brief series of questions
pertaining to the presence and duration of their symptoms. These will be correlated to a
list of side effects taken from Lexicomp (a medication database).
