Determinants of long-term disability in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: A multicenter Korea/UK study of 144 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite standard-of-care treatment, therapeutic outcomes in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) are often incomplete. We aimed to evaluate the impact of clinical and therapeutic factors on long-term disability in CIDP, from cohorts from Korea and the UK.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study of 144 patients with CIDP. Baseline characteristics and treatment data were collected, and disability was assessed using the Overall Neuropathy Limitation Scale (ONLS) for the UK cohort, Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) scores for the Korean cohort, and Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS) for the combined cohort. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed t
