Prognostic factors predicting remission were investigated. Changes in AChR\u2010Ab titer before and after thymectomy were also evaluated.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Among the 179 patients, 52.5% achieved complete stable or pharmacologic remission. Nonthymomatous pathology and mild preoperative status were favorable predictors of remission. The decrease in AChR\u2010Ab titer after thymectomy was significant in nonthymomatous MG but not in thymomatous MG.<jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: Nonthymomatous pathology and mild preoperative status are prognostic factors that may predict remission after thymectomy. The decrease in AChR\u2010Ab titer after thymectomy was significant in nonthymomatous MG but not in thymomatous MG, suggesting that the pathogenic role of the thymus differs according to pathology.<jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>58<\/jats:bold>:796\u2013800, 2018<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.26300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,19]],"date-time":"2018-07-19T06:50:14Z","timestamp":1531983014000},"page":"796-800","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Factors predicting remission in thymectomized patients with acetylcholine receptor antibody\u2010positive myasthenia gravis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0264-4531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunjin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center University of Ulsan College of Medicine 88, Olympic\u2010ro 43\u2010gil, Songpa\u2010gu, Seoul 05505 Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young\u2010Min","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center University of Ulsan College of Medicine 88, Olympic\u2010ro 43\u2010gil, Songpa\u2010gu, Seoul 05505 Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eun\u2010Jae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center University of Ulsan College of Medicine 88, Olympic\u2010ro 43\u2010gil, Songpa\u2010gu, Seoul 05505 Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yeo Jin","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center University of Ulsan College of Medicine 88, Olympic\u2010ro 43\u2010gil, Songpa\u2010gu, Seoul 05505 Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kwang\u2010Kuk","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center University of Ulsan College of Medicine 88, Olympic\u2010ro 43\u2010gil, Songpa\u2010gu, Seoul 05505 Seoul Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"419","article-title":"et al.","volume":"87","author":"Sanders DB","year":"2016","journal-title":"International consensus guidance for management of myasthenia gravis: executive summary.
