Biomarkers for prognosis of patients with polyneuropathy.
AIM: To investigate biomarkers' use as a prognostic tool in polyneuropathy patients.
STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of patients with polyneuropathy. METHODS: 200 patients with polyneuropathy will be examined with physical tests, medical examination, questionnaires, and blood biomarkers at baseline and at 1-year follow-up, and 2-year follow-up.
ANALYSIS: The investigators will calculate the odds of disease progression after 2 years depending on biomarkers levels at baseline using multiple logistic regression with sex and age adjustment. Diagnostic performance of the physical tests and biomarkers for prediction of disease progression will be assessed by Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve analysis with the area under the curve.

Serum and plasma will be extracted for analysis for known blood biomarkers of nerve damage (Neurofilament light chain, neurofilament heavy chain, Growth/Differentiation Factor 15, and Nerve Growth Factor), immunological biomarkers, and for proteomics to find new biomarkers.
