Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Plasma exchange (PE) is used to treat severe episodes of CNS demyelination unresponsive to corticosteroids. Predictors of long-term response are not well known.
METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 41 patients consecutively treated by PE between January 1995 and July 2007. The primary outcome was improvement at 6 months after PE defined as decrease of >or=1 point in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score for patients with EDSS
