SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 72 after each infusion

Evaluation of the occurence of adverse events (AEs) for both administrations via CTCAE v4.03 criteria. Results are reported as the mean number of IVIg-related AEs per patient. Adverse events were actively monitored during infusion and patients could report adverse events up to 72h after infusion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During each infusion (up to 1 day)

Evaluate the number of actions taken by the nursing staff during Multigam administration. Nursing actions were defined as the sum of actions required to increase the infusion rate (if needed) and any other action that had to be taken due to adverse effects during administration (e.g. lowering of infusion rate or supportive medication). Standard procedures like taking parameters were not accounted for this evaluation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: End of study (after Multigam 10% infusion)

Population: Row 3: 1 patient was unable to assess the question

Assess patient satisfaction via questionnaires. Questionnaires were taken at the end of MG 10% infusion and were validated by the principal investigator (PI) and head nurse. Patients could score following questions from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) \[Full scale: 1: strongly disagree; 2:disagree; 3: neutral; 4: agree; 5; strongly agree\]: Question 1: I experienced less side effects during Multigam 10% infusion. Question 2: I experienced time gain with Multigam 10%. Question 3: I had a more productive day with Multigam 10%. Question 4: I am in favor of of the use of Multigam 10%.
