Abstrakt: Background and Objectives: Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) and paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) encompass a heterogeneous group of antibody-associated disorders. Both the number of syndromes and commercially available antibody tests have increased considerably over the past decade. High-quality population-based data on epidemiology of these disorders and real-world performance of antibody tests are needed.
Methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we identified all serum and CSF samples tested for antibodies against intracellular antigens (IAs: Hu [ANNA1], Yo [PCA1], CV2 [CRMP5], Ri [ANNA2], Ma1, Ma2 [Ta], amphiphysin, GAD65, GFAP, KLHL11, CARP VIII) or extracellular antigens (EAs: NMDAR, LGI1, Caspr2, GABA-B-R, GABA-A-R, AMPAR, DPPX, GlyR, mGluR1, VGCC, IgLON5, Tr [DNER]) between January 2016 and December 2021 in the Netherlands. Nationwide coverage was guaranteed for all antibodies except anti-GAD65 and anti-VGCC. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV); obtained clinical information about patients who tested positive; assigned diagnosis of AIE/PNS according to diagnostic criteria; and calculated incidence rates for IA, EA, and individual antibody-associated syndromes.
Results: In the study period, 2,877 (9.5%) of 30,246 samples, belonging to 1,228 patients, tested positive. Sensitivity and specificity were high (>95%) to very high (>99%) for most tests in both serum and CSF. PPVs for several tests were moderate to poor, especially for serum testing of IA antibodies (25%-80%). Clinical data were available for 940 (76.5%) of 1,228 patients. A total of 578 AIE/PNS diagnoses were made. The incidence rate for AIE/PNS (per million person-years) increased from 4.70 (95% CI 3.72-5.85) in 2016 to 5.76 (4.69-7.00) in 2021. Overall, the incidence rate was 5.57 (5.13-6.05), 2.96 (2.64-3.31) for the EA and 2.61 (2.31-2.94) for the IA subgroup. The 4 most common AIE/PNS types were anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, anti-Hu, and anti-GAD65, together comprising almost two-thirds of all diagnoses (364/578, 63.0%).
Discussion: Most commercial antibody tests perform well overall, but important pitfalls remain. Although almost all tests had high specificity, PPV was only modest in the setting of these rare diseases and mass testing. We observe trends toward increasing incidence of antibody-associated AIE/PNS.
