- There is a lack of research on how patients recover from autoimmune encephalitis caused by antibodies affecting synaptic proteins and neuronal receptors.
- A study tracked adult patients with autoimmune encephalitis over 12 months, evaluating their recovery using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and stratified them based on their specific antibody types.
- Findings revealed that patients with anti-NMDAR and other antibodies had significant disability at 3 months, highlighting a need for better treatment strategies and more precise evaluation methods for different types of autoimmune encephalitis.
