Podcast: Rapid screening for inflammatory neuropathies by standardized clinical criteria
9/23/2016- Dr. Ted Burns interviews Dr. Chafic Karam about his article Rapid screening for inflammatory neuropathies by standardized clinical criteria. In this podcast, he discusses the Class IV evidence that 3 neuropathy characteristics—onset, distribution, and associated systemic features—accurately identify patients with inflammatory neuropathies. Rapid screening for inflammatory neuropathies by ODS clinical criteria is highly sensitive and has a high negative predictive value for noninflammatory neuropathies. ODS uses simple clinical criteria to rapidly screen for patients with a potentially treatable form of neuropathy and accelerate their diagnostic evaluation. Neurol Clin Pract 10.1212.
