Overview
Brief Summary
A prospective study aims to establish a multicenter clinical diagnosis and treatment database for patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE). The study will analyze the characteristics of disease progression, changes in immune-inflammatory markers, immunotherapy regimens, and patient outcomes. It seeks to identify clinical indicators for the early recognition of severe AE patients, develop and validate a predictive model for severe AE, and explore effective treatment strategies to rapidly control disease progression during the acute phase of severe AE.
Detailed Description
To develop and validate a predictive model for severe autoimmune encephalitis (AE), a prospective multicenter study will be conducted. Clinical data of hospitalized AE patients will be collected consecutively, and a multicenter integrated database will be established. This database will include information on the characteristics of disease progression, changes in blood and cerebrospinal fluid immune-inflammatory markers, specific immunotherapy regimens, patient outcomes, and long-term prognoses. The study will analyze the clinical and immunological characteristics of AE patients, identify clinical indicators for early recognition of severe AE, and develop and validate a predictive model for severe AE. Additionally, the study will evaluate the efficacy of early plasma exchange/plasma adsorption therapy and targeted immunotherapy on AE outcomes and long-term prognosis, aiming to explore effective treatment strategies for rapidly controlling disease progression in the acute phase of severe AE.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
CASE
Time Frame: 2 months of enrollment
The unabbreviated scale title is the clinical assessment scale for autoimmune encephalitis. The CASE includes a total score of 0-27.The higher the score, the worse the prognosis.
Secondary Outcomes
- CASE(1 month of enrollment)
- mRS(1 months, 2 months of enrollment)
- GCS(1 months, 2 months of enrollment)
- Prognostic scores (CASE)(6 months, 12 months of enrollment)
- Prognostic scores (mRS)(6 months, 12 months of enrollment)
