Real-World Multinational Survey of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: Disease Characteristics and Therapeutic Landscape.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated syndrome characterized by progressive muscle weakness and sensory impairment.
