Exclusion criteria:
• NA

Study design details

Main study objective

Primary objectives of study are to describe the maternal characteristics, patterns of HyQvia utilization and pregnancy outcomes in HyQvia-exposed pregnancies that would be identified within a US healthcare claims database of commercially insured individuals.

Outcomes

Number of Participants with Major Congenital Malformations in the Infant Number of Participants with Spontaneous Abortion Number of Participants with Stillbirth Number of Participants with Preterm Birth Number of Participants Being Small for Gestational Age Number of Participants With Admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Number of Participants With Any Major Clinical Diagnosis/Procedure

Data analysis plan

Description of complete claims profiles will be performed by reporting maternal and infant characteristics and outcomes after exposure to HyQvia during pregnancy. Separate narratives for each participant, will describe sociodemographic characteristics(age), medical history(comorbidities and concomitant medications), timing of HyQvia dispensations/administration, recorded indication, obstetric characteristics(e.g. infertility treatments, multiples), clinical diagnoses during pregnancy(e.g. infections), obstetric outcomes(e.g. preeclampsia), infant characteristics(sex), presence of pre-specify and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Summary report will quantify frequency of pre-specified outcomes(e.g. out of xx pregnancies exposed, yy ended in livebirths). Given small numbers, no absolute risks(with 95% confidence intervals) will be calculated. Since there is no reference group, no measures of association(e.g. relative risks) will be estimated. No causal inference will be attempted.
