Conclusion
We would recommend that all patients with HHT or severe epistaxis keep a
symptom diary similar to “xxx’s”. We suggest that patients should
record a minimum of date and time of nosebleed onset, side of bleed,
estimated severity, any potential influencing factors, and use of
treatments or medications.
An effective symptom diary would enable clinicians to quickly identify
patterns over time and for patients to gain a more objective
understanding of their condition. We suggest that “xxx’s” diary could
be such a standard.
