Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Alberta in Canada examined the care provided to urban and rural patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic condition characterized by episodic swelling. The study found that rural patients received similar high-quality care to urban patients, which was attributed to a centralized care model employed in the region. The study collected data on the proportion of patients receiving long-term prophylaxis, the age at which patients were diagnosed, and disease control. The findings suggest that a centralized care model can overcome geographical barriers and ensure equitable access to care for HAE patients. [Extracted from the article]
