Résumé

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign tumor of infancy. For children with IH who require treatment, propranolol and other beta blockers have been shown to be safe and effective. Although consensus guidelines for managing IH have been published, anecdotal experience suggests that there remain variations in management. This study was performed to document these variations amongst providers and to identify areas for future research. We conducted an Internet-based survey of clinicians who treat patients with IH. Hypothetical cases and management scenarios were presented. Twenty-nine respondents participated in the survey. Most respondents use generic propranolol in infants with growing IH of the head and neck, with a goal dose of 2 mg/kg/d, until ~1 year of age. A variety of management strategies were documented including which patients should be treated, optimal dose and duration of therapy, how patients should be monitored, which patients should get additional workup, how propranolol should best be discontinued, and how often to see patients in follow-up. This study demonstrates wide practice variations in managing patients with IH. Further research is indicated to address these variations and develop additional/updated evidence-based guidelines.
