Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate the presence of infusion reactions during the period from the start of rituximab administration to 4 hours after the start of rituximab administration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To estimate the severity of the first infusion reaction that occurred during the period up to 4 hours after the start of rituximab treatment. 2. To estimate the severity of the maximum number of infusion reactions that occurred during the period up to 4 hours after the start of rituximab treatment. 3. To estimate the time to onset of the first infusion reaction that occurred during the period up to 4 hours after initiation of rituximab. 4. To estimate the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) value for the degree of drowsiness caused by histamine H1 receptor antagonists. 5. To estimate the incidence rate of the adverse event.
