Clinical and immunological differences between primary and autoimmune-associated neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders: a retrospective study
Taiwanese patients with AD-NMOSD show distinct laboratory characteristics compared with those without autoimmune diseases. Younger age and longer disease duration are key risk factors for relapses, which are linked to more severe neurological sequelae. Despite various treatments, no significant differences were found in relapse rates or sequelae severity, highlighting the need for personalised management strategies.
