The aim of this study was to determine its prognostic value in a prospective multicenter cohort study including incident and prevalent patients with CIDP and MMN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We enrolled 126 patients with CIDP, and 72 with MMN; 71 were treatment\u2010naive. Patients with chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a035) were considered as disease controls. Standardized neurological examination, questionnaires, and nerve ultrasonography were obtained at time of inclusion and 1\u2010year follow\u2010up.

No other significant correlations between nerve size and clinical outcome measures were found.

It had some predictive effect in patients with MMN. Further research in specific subgroups of chronic inflammatory neuropathy is necessary to determine the usefulness of nerve ultrasonography after the diagnostic phase.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.14885","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]],"date-time":"2021-04-28T16:07:37Z","timestamp":1619626057000},"page":"2327-2338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prognostic value of nerve ultrasonography: A prospective multicenter study on the natural history of chronic inflammatory neuropathies"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4065-9999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johan A.","family":"Telleman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology Elisabeth\u2010Tweesteden Hospital Tilburg The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery UMC Utrecht Brain Center University Utrecht Utrecht The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ingrid J.
