Resum
Early diagnosis of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) has been shown to reduce mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. The need for early diagnosis has led to the development of computational tools that trigger earlier clinical suspicion by physicians. Primary care professionals serve as the first line for improving early diagnosis. To this end, a computer-based tool (based on extended Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) Warning Signs) was developed to assist physicians with diagnosis decisions for IEIs in the primary care setting. Two expert-guided scoring systems (one pediatric, one adult) were developed. IEI warning signs were identified and a panel of 36 experts reached a consensus on which signs to include and how they should be weighted. The resulting scoring system was tested against a retrospective registry of patients with confirmed IEI using primary care EHRs. A pilot study to assess the feasibility of implementation in primary care was conducted. The scoring system includes 27 warning signs for pediatric patients and 24 for adults, adding additional clinically relevant criteria established by expert consensus to the JMF Warning Signs. Cytopenias, >= 2 systemic infections, recurrent fever and bronchiectasis were the leading warning signs in children, as bronchiectasis, autoimmune diseases, cytopenias, and > 3 pneumonias were in adults. The PIDCAP (Primary Immune Deficiency Centre d'Atenci & oacute; Prim & agrave;ria that stands for Primary Care Center in Catalan) tool was implemented in the primary care workstation in a pilot area. The expert-based approach has the potential to lessen under-reporting and minimize diagnostic delays of IEIs. It can be seamlessly integrated into clinical primary care workstations.
