ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study of patients receiving Immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) for secondary immune deficiency (SID) during 2012.METHODS:
Data were retrospectively collected from the first dose of Ig administered in 2012 to 1 year afterward in terms of the indication for IgRT, as well as efficacy and safety.RESULTS:
In total, 16 hospitals participated in the study, and 368 patients were included. Indications for IgRT were non-Hodgkin lymphoma (82 [22.3%] patients), multiple myeloma (76 [20.7%]), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (64 [17.4%]) and other (79 [21.5%]). Only 89 (24.2%) patients received IgRT according to 2011 European Medical Agency (EMA) recommendations; 196 (53.3%) received prophylactic antibiotics and 262 (76.2%) had an IgG level < 4 g/L before IgRT initiation.CONCLUSION:
In this study, whatever the criteria, only 24.2% of patients with SID who received IgRT met EMA recommendations, which suggests a misuse of IgRT in SID.Palabras clave
