Assessment of clinical prognosis in autoimmune encephalitis: Girona score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The assessment of clinical prognosis in autoimmune encephalitis: Girona (ACPE-Gi) score is a scale for evaluating the severity in the acute phase of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and predicting the risk of disability at 3 months, measured by modified Rankin scale (mRS).

Methods

Patients were strictly diagnosed with AE according to the current criteria between 1 January 2009 to 31 March 2023 at the University Hospital Dr. Josep Trueta of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. ACPE-Gi score included 14 items, and every item was scored from 0 to 3, depending on their severity with a sum ranging from 0 to 41.

Results

ACPE-Gi score measured the severity in the acute phase and grouped the patients into three groups: mild (<8; 32%), moderate (8 to 15; 60%), and severe (>15; 8%)
