摘要：
We performed a retrospective multicenter chart review to compare the efficacy and tolerance of plasma exchange (PE) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in treatment of 54 episodes of myasthenic crisis. After adjustment for other variables, PE (compared with Mg) was associated with a superior ventilatory status at 2 weeks (partial F = 6.2, p = 0.02) and 1 month functional outcome (partial F = 4.5, p = 0.04). However, the complication rate was higher with PE compared with IVIg (13 versus 5 episodes, p = 0.07).
