Abstract

There are no studies of patients with primary immunodeficiency states receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy that assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) using a well-standardized and reproducible method. To determine the HRQOL of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) requiring IVIG therapy, to compare these patients with patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and congestive heart failure (CHF), to determine the factors that affect HRQOL, and to develop normative data on the HRQOL of these CVID patients, which can be used to follow the effects of future therapies. Fifty-eight adults with CVID receiving IVIG therapy completed the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey to evaluate their HRQOL and were compared with DM and CHF patients. The impact of demographic, socioeconomic, and disease-related variables and comorbid conditions was examined in the CVID population. Patients with CVID had lower HRQOL scores in all dimensions compared with patients with DM and in 4 of 8 dimensions compared with patients with CHF. Increasing age and female sex were negatively associated with certain aspects of HRQOL. There were no significant effects from other socioeconomic or disease-related varia...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
