Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; INCAT, inflammatory neuropathy cause and treatment; I‐RODS, inflammatory Rasch‐built overall disability scale; IVIG, intravenous immunoglobulin; MRC, Medical Research Council; N, number of subjects; PSDS, pre‐randomization safety data set.

Improvement was defined as a decrease in adjusted INCAT score by ≥1 point, an increase in I‐RODS centile score by ≥4 points, an increase in mean grip strength by ≥8 kPa, and an increase in MRC sum score by ≥3 points, as compared to the Reference Visit (prior to first restabilization IVIG dose).

a

Subjects without improvements were censored at the date of their last visit in the IgPro10 restabilization period.

b

Using Kaplan‐Meier estimation. Time to first improvement (days) = date of first improvement ‐ date of first IVIG infusion.
