A conceptual model of AL amyloidosis was developed based on the work of Lin and colleagues,12 which incorporated information from patient interviews, clinician interviews, literature review, and online patient blogs. The HRQOL Working Group recommended updating the conceptual model based on the results of the literature review, which identified publications that reported on qualitative data from patients and/or clinicians on signs, symptoms, and impacts of AL amyloidosis. Concepts preceded by a “+” sign represent additions based on updated literature review (ie concepts that were not included in the original model).
