Overall, there was a high degree of correlation between mRS and CASE scores in patients with LGI-1-IgG AE, with both scores improving significantly after 12 months. Memory dysfunction and psychiatric disturbance were the most prevalent longitudinal symptoms. Cognitive impairment and temporal lobe T2 hyperintensity at baseline were both associated with greater disability at long-term follow-up, underscoring these as important determinants of disability outcomes in LGI-1-IgG AE.
