How inclusive is the database data
now?
• In 2009 PASA estimated only 60% data capture
• GBS cases
– 1.2-1.5 per 100000
– 720-900 cases
– 60% require Rx
90.7%
capture
• In 2009 260 GBS pts in database
• Thus ?48 – 60% capture
• In 2010 – 633 cases ?almost complete – 90%?
Guidelines update
• This update did not review all of the Second
Edition Guidelines content, but limited its
focus to three key areas
– defining selection criteria for appropriate use;
– efficacy outcomes to assess treatment success;
– reassignment of existing indications /inclusion of
new indications.
Reassignment of existing
indications /inclusion of new
indications.

24 patients with polymyositis
Some life threatening
>50% approved
Polymyositis likely to be immune mediated
• IBM (previously black)
– 2 cases only approved as exceptionality
– Not infrequently ‘inflammatory’
Myositis criteria
• Diagnosis of myositis by a neurologist,
rheumatologist, immunologist of:
– Patients with PM or DM who have significant muscle
weakness;
– OR Dysphagia and have not responded to
corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents;
– OR Patients with IBM who have dysphagia affecting
nutrition (NOT patients with rapidly progressive IBM)
• Outcomes and test dosage schedule suggested
Grey indications - changes
• Immune-mediated disorders with limited
evidence of immunoglobulin efficacy
• Presumed immune-mediated disorders with
little or no evidence of efficacy
Immune-mediated disorders with limited
evidence of immunoglobulin efficacy
• Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
• Autoimmune encephalitis (including NMDA and VGKC antibodies,
among others)
• Cerebral infarction with antiphospholipid antibodies
• Chronic regional pain syndrome
• CNS vasculitis
• Intractable childhood epilepsy
• Neuromyotonia
• Opsoclonus Myoclonus
Immune-mediated disorders with limited
evidence of immunoglobulin efficacy
• Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
• Autoimmune encephalitis (including NMDA and VGKC antibodies,
among others)
• Cerebral infarction with antiphospholipid antibodies
• Chronic regional pain syndrome
• CNS vasculitis
• Intractable childhood epilepsy
• Neuromyotonia
• Opsoclonus Myoclonus
• Autoimmune encephalitis (including NMDA
and VGKC antibodies, among others) and
neuromyotonia
• Granerod J et al 2009 – Lancet Infectious Disease
– 203 patients with encephalitis in UK in 2006-2008
– 42% infectious, 21% autoimmune, 37% unknown
• 16 case reports and small series of IVIG responsive Abmediated encephalitis since 2009
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
• Goebel A, Baranowski A, Maurer K, Ghiai A, McCabe C,
Ambler G.
• Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of the complex
regional pain syndrome: a randomized trial.
• Ann Intern Med. 2010 Feb 2;152(3):152-8.
Presumed immune-mediated disorders
with little or no evidence of efficacy
• Acute idiopathic dysautonomia
• Diabetic proximal neuropathy
• PANDAS
• Paraneoplastic disorders that are known not to
be B- or T-cell mediated
• POEMS
There remain rare
disorders….
Efficacy outcomes to assess
treatment success
Measuring outcomes:
Current practice, potential and future possibilities
• ‘This update provides efficacy outcomes to be
measured in all indications…. Efficacy
outcomes are expected to play an important
role in the IAP decision-making process for
patients……This change reflects the wider
change of focus in the NHS to patient
outcomes, as presented in The NHS Outcomes
Framework.’
