Both SCIG and fSCIG successfully maintained trough values at or above the hypothetical protective threshold after switching from stable IVIG, irrespective of BMI or age. Differences in trough values between BMI groups and age groups (≤ 22%) may not warrant SCIG or fSCIG dose adjustments based on BMI or age alone; instead, the dosing paradigm should be guided by prior IVIG dose, individual IgG monitoring, and clinical findings.
