Autoimmune encephalitis epidemiology and a comparison to infectious encephalitis
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence and prevalence of autoimmune encephalitis and compare it to that of infectious encephalitis. Methods: We performed a population‐based comparative study of the incidence and prevalence of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Autoimmune encephalitis diagnosis and subgroups were defined by 2016 diagnostic criteria, and infectious encephalitis diagnosis required a confirmed infectious pathogen. Age‐ and sex‐adjusted prevalence and incidence rates were calculated. Patients with encephalitis of uncertain etiology were excluded. Results: The prevalence of autoimmune encephalitis on January 1, 2014 of 13.7/100,000 was not significantly different from that of all infectious encephalitides (11.6/100,000; p = 0.63) or the viral subcategory (8.3/100,000; p = 0.17). The incidence rates (1995–2015) of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis were 0.8/100,000 and 1.0/100,000 person‐years, respectively ( p = 0.58). The number of relapses or recurrent hospitalizations was higher for autoimmune than infectious encephalitis ( p = 0.03). The incidence of autoimmune encephalitis increased over time from 0.4/100,000 person‐years (1995–2005) to 1.2/100,000 person‐years (2006–2015; p = 0.02), attributable to increased detection of autoantibody‐positive cases. The incidence (2.8 vs 0.7/100,000 person‐years, p = 0.01) and prevalence (38.3 vs 13.7/100,000, p = 0.04) of autoimmune encephalitis was higher among African Americans than Caucasians. The prevalence of specific neural autoantibodies was as follows: myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, 1.9/100,000; glutamic acid decarboxylase 65, 1.9/100,000; unclassified neural autoantibody, 1.4/100,000; leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated protein 1, 0.7/100,000; collapsin response‐mediator protein 5, 0.7/100,000; N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor, 0.6/100,000; antineuronal nuclear antibody type 2, 0.6/100,000; and glial fibrillary acidic protein α, 0.6/100,000. Interpretation: This study shows that the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune encephalitis are comparable to infectious encephalitis, and its detection is increasing over time.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
