This analysis assessed the safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in the treatment of patients with neuroimmunological and immunological disorders in a home-based setting.
Adverse reactions (ARs) were assessed in a retrospective review of 1176 patients receiving 28,677 home-based IVIg infusions between 1996 and 2013.
Of 1176 patients, 648 (55.1%) experienced IVIg-related ARs; 536 (45.6%) were mild, 78 (6.6%) moderate, and 34 (2.9%) severe. Thirty-seven (3.1%) patients were hospitalized because of ARs; of these, headache was most common (51.4%). Mean number of ARs per patient increased from 1.4 (low dose) to 3.6 (high dose). Incidence of ARs increased from 41% in the first 5-year moving average in 2003 to 65% in 2008. The number of ARs correlated with the number of infusions (ρ = 0.24; P < 0.001) and the average IVIg dose (ρ = 0.10; P < 0.001).
Low- and high-dose IVIg were safe and well tolerated with a few serious ARs in patients with neuroimmunological and immunological disorders.
本分析评估了在家中使用静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)治疗神经免疫和免疫性疾病患者的安全性。
通过回顾性研究评估了1996年至2013年间接受28,677次家庭IVIg输注的1176例患者的不良反应(ARs)。
1176例患者中,648例(55.1%)出现与IVIg相关的ARs;536例(45.6%)为轻度,78例(6.6%)为中度,34例(2.9%)为重度。37例(3.1%)患者因ARs住院;其中,头痛最为常见(51.4%)。每位患者的ARs平均数量从1.4(低剂量)增加到3.6(高剂量)。ARs的发生率从2003年第一个5年移动平均值的41%增加到2008年的65%。ARs的数量与输注次数(ρ = 0.24;P < 0.001)和IVIg平均剂量(ρ = 0.10;P < 0.001)相关。
低剂量和高剂量IVIg对神经免疫和免疫性疾病患者安全且耐受性良好,仅有少数严重ARs。
