  Author(s): Bob Geng, Fawad Piracha, Nazia Rashid* and Michael Rigas
  
  Background: Patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD) typically require life-long immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy. There are two routes of IG administration: intravenous (IVIG) and subcutaneous (SCIG). To better understand routes of IG administration in the real-world, use in a home infusion setting was evaluated. Objective: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and perceived responses in PIDD patients on IVIG versus SCIG in a realworld, home infusion setting. Methods: Retrospective data were collected from 2010 to 2018 from a national home infusion pharmacy of PIDD patients receiving IVIG or SCIG therapy for at least 6 months with evaluations for safety, efficacy, and patient perception of response. Results: A total of 149 patients were identified for analy.. View More»
