Primary outcomes

  1. Neurologic Disease Progression: Number of Participants According to Muscle Weakness Assessment by Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) Subscale Score

    Time frame: Pre-treatment baseline period to post-treatment period (data for specified duration was extracted from medical records and observed retrospectively in this study from 08-Mar-2023 to 19-May-2023)

    Neurologic disease progression meant worsening of neurologic function over the time, is assessed by NIS subscale score in this outcome measure. NIS is a composite neurologic impairment score that assesses muscle weakness, sensation, and reflexes by physical exam. NIS subscale for muscle weakness assessment has a score range from 0 (minimum value) to 192 (maximum value). Lower scores indicates normal to mild impairment. Participants were classified as: no change, increase or decrease in NIS subscale scores from pre-treatment baseline period to post-treatment period. Pre-treatment baseline period: at least 6 months and up to 12 months before treatment initiation. Post-treatment period: at least 6 months after treatment initiation with a +/- 3 months window.

  2. Neurologic Disease Progression: Number of Participants According to Walking Capacity Assessment by Polyneuropathy Disability (PND) Score

    Time frame: Pre-treatment baseline period to post-treatment period (data for specified duration was extracted from medical records and observed retrospectively in this study from 08-Mar-2023 to 19-May-2023)

    Neurologic disease progression meant worsening of neurologic function over the time, is assessed by PND score in this outcome measure. PND is a scoring system to assess participants' walking capacity. It consists of four stages from stage 0 (no impairment) to stage IV (confined to a wheelchair or bedridden). Lower scores indicates normal to mild impairment. Participants were classified as: no change, increase or decrease in PND scores from pre-treatment to post -treatment period. Pre-treatment baseline period: at least 6 months and up to 12 months before treatment initiation. Post-treatment period: at least 6 months after treatment initiation with a +/- 3 months window.

  3. Neurologic Disease Progression: Number of Participants According to Muscle Strength Assessment by Medical Research Council (MRC) Scale

    Time frame: Pre-treatment baseline period to post-treatment period (data for specified duration was extracted from medical records and observed retrospectively in this study from 08-Mar-2023 to 19-May-2023)

    Neurologic disease progression meant worsening of neurologic function over the time, is assessed by MRC scale in this outcome measure. MRC assessed muscle strength using a score of 0 (no contraction) to 5 (normal power), to grade the power of a particular muscle group in relation to the movement of a single joint. The higher scores mean a better outcome. Participants were classified as: no change, increase or decrease in MRC scale score from pre-treatment to post-treatment period. Pre-treatment baseline period: at least 6 months and up to 12 months before treatment initiation. Post-treatment period: at least 6 months after treatment initiation with a +/- 3 months window.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Modified Body Mass Index (mBMI)

    Time frame: Pre-treatment baseline period, post-treatment period (data for specified duration was extracted from medical records and observed retrospectively in this study from 08-Mar-2023 to 19-May-2023)

    mBMI was calculated as the product of BMI in kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2) and serum albumin in gram per litre (g/L) to compensate for peripheral edema. Pre-treatment baseline period: at least 6 months and up to 12 months before treatment initiation. Post-treatment period: at least 6 months after treatment initiation with a +/- 3 months window.
