An observational study in Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 24 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-25.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to assess the level of knowledge regarding inborn errors of immunity among pediatric physicians working in Assiut Governorate, Egypt.
Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are heterogeneous disorders that can present with recurrent, severe, or unusual infections, autoimmunity, and other manifestations. Early recognition by pediatric physicians is important for timely diagnosis and management.
This observational study will use a self-administered electronic questionnaire to assess knowledge of clinical warning signs, general and specific signs of IEI, and treatment and immunization strategies among pediatric physicians in Assiut.
211 studies on the registry are indexed under Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases; 51 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 347 is above the median of 137 across 77 observational studies indexed under Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases.

Pediatric physicians working in Assiut who will complete a self-administered electronic questionnaire assessing knowledge of inborn errors of immunity.
Overall knowledge score regarding inborn errors of immunity
Mean percentage score of correct answers on the knowledge questionnaire regarding inborn errors of immunity (maximum score expressed as percentage) Score ranges from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline
Domain-Specific Knowledge Scores
Separate percentage scores for four domains: 1) Warning signs in children (4 questions) and adults (2 questions), 2) General signs of IEI (5 questions), 3) Specific signs of IEI (9 questions), 4) Treatment strategies and immunization (5 questions) Score ranges from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline
Knowledge scores according to professional and educational characteristics
Mean overall knowledge scores stratified by years of experience, educational level, hospital affiliation type, previous training in pediatric immunology, and daily case flow.Score ranges from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline
