Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: New Hope for Diagnosis and Treatment Final Live Outcome ReportPrepared For CSL Behring
February 14, 2019
Persistent Educational Gapsv Though improvements were observed, learners demonstrated score slippage on the PCA indicating persistent gaps in the several
areas including:
v Mechanism of action of alpha-1 antitrypsin and the impact of its deficiency on lung tissue
v Laboratory testing in AATD
v Treatment strategies for patients with AATD and COPD
v Comorbid conditions associated with AATDThe post-test scores, and self reported confidence regarding the management of patients with PAH, signifies a clear gap in knowledge
and an unmet need among clinicians. It continues to be an important area for future educational programs.
Executive Summary
*These numbers represent the total number of attendees, irrespective of assessment participation
495* total attendees
on site: 113 attendees
National online simulcast: 382 attendees
v This curriculum focused on discussing the pathophysiology and diagnosis of AATD, recognizing its impact on risk of COPD and other comorbidities, treatment options according to the latest GOLD guidelines and strategies to increase detection in practice.
v 495 attendees in multiple professional specialties were reached via both live onsite and online formats.
v Improvement across all learning domains was noted ranging from 43% to 138%.
v Overall, the program improved the ability of learners to recognize the impact of AATD on the risk for COPD, understand the pathophysiology of disease, incorporate laboratory testing and treat patients with AATD and COPD.

Key Take-home Points
Significant increases in ability to integrate the detection and treatment of AATD into practice that persisted after 4 weeks
90% of participants provide direct patient care
After 4 weeks, the following improved skills were reported regarding the screening, diagnosis and treatment of AATD : 64% timely referral pharmacotherapy, 62% patient education and 61% disease state awareness
Despite gains seen in 4 out of 5 questions, score slippage after 4 weeks reinforces the need for continued education on the management of AATD.
