TheRapeutic Effect of Different immunosuppressAnts on Non-Thymoma Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: a Real-world Study

Other illness

• History of chronic degenerative, psychiatric, or neurologic disorder other than MG that can produce weakness or fatigue;
• Patients who may have other diseases that may lead to eyelid drooping, peripheral muscle weakness or diplopia;
• Patients who have been taking glucocorticoids or associated immunosuppressants due to other immune system diseases;
• Patients who cannot use immunosuppressants due to other chronic diseases;
• Patients who are unable to cooperate with follow-up and self-assessment due to severe mental illness or cognitive impairment;
• Patients who have suffered from severe infections or malignant tumors in the last 1 month and are unable to receive immunosuppressants treatments;

Age

• Age ≤18 years or ≥75 years;

Other

• Pregnant women, lactating women and patients with fertility plans during the trial;
• Patients who are not willing to cooperate with repeated frequency electrical stimulation tests and chest CT examinations;
• Patients who are not willing to participate in this study;
• Patients who are unable to sign informed consent;
• Predicted survival time is shorter than 3 years;
• Patients who are not suitable to participated in the trial after researchers' assessment.

• Age \>18 years and\<75 years;
• Clinical Diagnosis of MG with supporting evidence:
  • Patients with ocular muscle type MG who have never received treatment meet one of the diagnoses (1) and (2)-(5): (1) The patient's symptoms involve the extraocular muscles, except for drooping eyelids and diplopia, no other clinical symptoms; (2) unequivocal clinical response to pyridostigmine; (3) positive acetylcholine receptor antibody or musk antibody; (4) decrement of more than 10% in repetitive nerve stimulations study (RNS); (5) the "trembling" of the single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) is broadened with or without blockade;
• Willingness to sample collection, imaging study and other disease-related examinations and assessments;
• The results of pregnancy tests for female subjects with fertility during the screening period should be negative and effective contraception was used by the patient and her spouse during the study period;
• Patients with informed consent;
• Predicted survival time is longer than 3 years.
