PY - 2014 DA - 2014/04/04 TI - Deterioration after corticosteroids in CIDP may be associated with pure focal demyelination pattern JO - BMC Neurology SP - 72 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - In the PREDICT study, a randomised controlled trial comparing dexamethasone with prednisolone in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), almost a quarter of patients deteriorated soon after starting treatment. The primary objective of this post-hoc analysis was to test the hypothesis that a focal demyelination pattern is associated with early deterioration after corticosteroid treatment and to explore whether various clinical characteristics are associated with deterioration after corticosteroid treatment.
