BACKGROUND: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease caused by autoantibodies directed against postsynaptic antigens of the neuromuscular junction. Over the last decades, increasing incidence and prevalence rates have been reported. Epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence in Germany are lacking. Furthermore, the MG treatment landscape is rapidly changing due to the continued approval of novel monoclonal antibodies. METHOD: This is a retrospective study assessing incidence, prevalence, and hospitalization rates of MG as well as treatment patterns in Germany over 10 years based on medical claims data covering 6...

INTRODUCTION: Few studies account for prehospital deaths when estimating incidence and mortality rates of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI). In a population-based study, covering both urban and rural areas, including also prehospital deaths, the aim was to estimate incidence and mortality rates of msTBI. Further, we studied the 30-day and 6-month case-fatality proportion of severe TBI in relation to age. METHODS: All patients aged ≥17 years who sustained a msTBI in Central Norway were identified by three sources: 1) the regional trauma center, 2) the general hospitals, and 3) the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry...

INTRODUCTION: Dementia prevention trials have so far shown little benefit of multidomain interventions against cognitive decline. Recruitment strategies in these trials often centre around dementia risk or cardiovascular risk profile, but it is uncertain whether this leads to inclusion of individuals who may benefit most from the intervention. We determined effects of eligibility criteria on recruitment of potential trial participants in the general population. METHODS: In a systematic search until January 1, 2022, we identified all published and ongoing large (≥500 participants), phase-3 multidomain trials for the prevention of cognitive decline or dementia...

BACKGROUND: Guillain-Barré syndrome is an immune-mediated acute inflammatory polyneuropathy that is associated with various triggers, including certain infections and vaccines. It has been suggested that both SARS-CoV2 infection and vaccination may be triggering factors for Guillain-Barré syndrome, but evidence remain equivocal. Here we conducted a population-based incidence study of Guillain-Barré syndrome spanning the three years immediately prior to and the two years during the pandemic...

BACKGROUND: Essential tremor (ET) is a highly prevalent neurological disease. Age of onset can occur anytime between childhood and advanced age. Tremor generally starts insidiously. Age of onset is a particularly important data item in clinical and epidemiological research. In general, these data are self-reported by ET cases. A fundamental question is whether ET cases reliably report their age of onset. METHODS: In this prospective, epidemiological study of 125 ET cases, self-reported age of onset data were collected at regular 18 months intervals over four time points...

Introduction Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) has significant medical, social and legal consequences. Understanding the number of people presenting with CES and their demographic features is essential for planning healthcare services to ensure timely and appropriate management. We aimed to establish the incidence of CES in a single country and stratify incidence by age, gender, and socioeconomic status. As no consensus clinical definition of CES exists, we compared incidence using different diagnostic criteria. Methods All patients presenting with radiological compression of the cauda equina due to degenerative disc disease and clinical CES requiring emergency surgical decompression during a one-year period were identified at all centers performing emergency spinal surgery across Scotland...

BACKGROUND: Smoking influence on poststroke prognosis remains controversial. These conflicting results could be due to some residual confounding factors not fully considered in previous studies, including social deprivation. This study aimed to assess the joint impact of deprivation and smoking on functional outcomes after ischemic stroke. METHODS: Between 2011 and 2014, 1,573 patients with a first-ever stroke were prospectively included in the French multicenter INDIA ("Inegalites sociales et pronostic des accidents vasculaires cerebraux à Dijon et Antilles-Guyane") cohort study...

INTRODUCTION: China has the most people with Parkinson disease (PD) in the world, and is estimated to have over half of the worldwide PD population. The objective of this study is to analyze the corresponding burden of PD in China for the past decades. METHOD: Data on disease burden related to PD in China were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to assess temporal trends, and the ratio of years lived with disability (YLDs) to disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) was used as an index to evaluate the healthcare system...

BACKGROUND: The declining prevalence of smoking and hypertension has been associated with the decrease of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) incidence in the 21st century. Since these same risk factors are linked to SAH mortality, the case fatality rate (CFR) of SAH has potentially also decreased during recent decades. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to address SAH CFR changes over the last 40 years. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature search in OVID Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases...
