Overview
The overall aim of this observational study is to generate real-world evidence on the pre- and post-diagnosis disease journeys, including baseline characteristics, treatment patterns and selected clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes (for example Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Neuropathy impairment score, activities of daily living (ADL) assessments) in patients with ATTR amyloidosis, and to better understand how the disease is presented.
Description
This retrospective, observational, longitudinal, multi-country cohort study aims to describe characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in ATTR amyloidosis patients.
Primary objectives: Describe patient characteristics (for example demographics, family history of ATTR, key comorbidities and humanistic outcomes (e.g. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Neuropathy impairment score, activities of daily living (ADL) assessments), treatment patterns, and disease outcomes. Characterize and quantify the healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) in ATTR amyloidosis patients who will be followed post-index until the end of follow-up.
Secondary objectives: Describe demographics, clinical characteristics and HCRU in ATTR amyloidosis patients prior to diagnosis.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of primary (AL) and secondary (AA) amyloidosis AND/OR
