Long-term outcomes in MOGAD patients not receiving any immunotherapy apart from steroids
In this retrospective study, medical charts of 55 MOGAD patients were reviewed. The patients included (1) were diagnosed with MOGAD, (2) had visited one of the hospitals participating in the study, and (3) had not been on any immunotherapy other than steroids for at least the 3-year observation period. The results showed that without long-term immunotherapy, some MOGAD patients had relapses, but overall did not have a significant decline in their disability scores or visual acuity.
