Effect of Immunosuppression in Risk of Developing Generalized Symptoms in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Backgrounds And Objectives: Early use of immunosuppression has been suggested to prevent generalization of ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG), but high-quality evidence is limited in this regard. We examined whether treatment with prednisone and other immunosuppressants reduce the risk of generalization in OMG.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of consecutive adults with pure OMG who had a minimum 6 months of follow-up.
