摘要
Introduction Monitoring grip strength at home may detect improvement between intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatments in patients with chronic inflammatory neuropathies (CINs). Methods Fifteen patients recorded grip strength each day, from one IVIg treatment until the next. We analyzed grip strength changes comparing thresholds of 8 kPa and 14 kPa. "Random" fluctuations of grip strength were distinguished from treatment response by smoothing the data. Results "Random" fluctuations of at least 8 kPa occurred in 27% of patients. Smoothed daily grip strength increased by at least 8 kPa above baseline in 11 (73%) patients. Grip strength increased by at least 8 kPa for 3 consecutive days in 9 (60%) patients, and 5-day block mean increased by at least 8 kPa in 10 (67%) patients. Discussion Home monitoring of grip strength confirmed treatment response in most patients with CINs on IVIg. To detect improvement in an individual patient, we suggest a threshold of at least 8 kPa on 3 consecutive days or on 5-day block mean.
