We compared the nerve conduction studies (NCS) of patients with AIDP to those with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), a subacute axonal polyneuropathy. New electrodiagnostic criteria with graded certainty (normal, nondiagnostic, suggestive, highly suggestive, and definite) were designed and applied in a blinded manner to both groups. Among the AIDP patients, 64% met the highly suggestive and definite criteria (specificity 95\u2013100%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01), whereas 80% of the CIP group fell in the nondiagnostic criteria (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). The relative preservation of the sural sensory response in spite of at least two abnormal sensory NCS in the upper limb suggested acute demyelination (sensitivity 48%, specificity 96%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and was even more conclusive when associated with absent or prolonged F waves. Motor and sensory response amplitudes were lower in the CIP group, with comparable mean motor and sensory distal latencies and motor conduction velocities. Motor conduction blocks were present in 10% of nerves in AIDP and were not encountered in CIP. The frequency of absent or delayed F waves and absent H reflex was similar in both groups. The correlation coefficient of the cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration with the designed criteria was higher in the AIDP group (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.9). We conclude that a new criterion with graded certainty is of higher specificity in the majority of patients with early AIDP.
