Influential Factors, Treatment and Prognosis of Autoimmune Encephalitis Patients With Poor Response to Short-Term First-Line Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was performed to assess the potential factors for poor short-term first-line treatment response, the appropriate further treatment options, and the prognosis in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE).

Methods

This retrospective study consisted of 135 patients with AE. According to their short-term first-line treatment response, patients were divided into the response group and the non-response group. The demographics, clinical characteristics, main accessory examinations, immunotherapy, and outcomes of patients were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze whether non-responders have poor long-term outcomes. Further treatment and prognosis of non-responders were also analyzed.
