Second IVIg course in Guillain-Barré syndrome with poor prognosis: the non-randomized ISID study, was written by Christine Verboon and members of the IGOS consortium, using the patient data collected in IGOS. The objective of the study was to compare disease course in patients with GBS with a poor prognosis who were treated with one versus two IVIg courses. They showed that outcomes were not better after a second IVIg course.
