Subcutaneous immunoglobulin in primary immunodeficiency – impact of training and infusion characteristics on patient-reported outcomes

Table 7 The effect of different training locations upon ease of training, total SCIG training time, and knowledge of trainer

Variable	Home	Hospital	Doctor's Office	Other	p-value
Ease of training^a	6 [5, 7]	7 [6, 7]	7 [6, 7]	6 [4, 7]	0.01
Total SCIG training time (hours)	4 [2, 8]	1 [0.5, 2]	4 [1, 6]	4 [2, 6]	< 0.001
Knowledge of trainer^b	7 [5, 7]	6 [4, 7]	7 [6, 7]	7 [5, 7]	0.21

Results are stated as median (IQR) for each training variable. The association between training location and other training variables was calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis test
IQR interquartile range, SCIG subcutaneous immunoglobulin
^aThe ease of training variable was measured on a scale from 1 to 7 (1 = very difficult and 7 = very easy) ^bThe knowledge of trainer variable was measured on a scale from 1 to 7 (1 = not very knowledgeable and 7 = very knowledgeable)
