[Determination of prognostic factors in surgical treatment of myasthenia gravis].
The authors evaluated, using statistical analysis, the importance of prognostic factors in patients subjected to thymectomy on account of myasthenia gravis. The results revealed a better prognosis of the disease, if the history was less than 6 months, preoperative treatment less than 1.5 years, a histological finding of thymus hyperplasia, second clinical stage according to Ossermann and the patients age below 30 years. From the statistical analysis ensues that the prognosis of myasthenia gravis is more favourable when the case-history is shorter as a result of rapid diagnosis and when preoperative treatment is reduced to a minimum.
