Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Longitudinal outcomes in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARe) are still not fully understood and may not be adequately captured with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), often the sole reported outcome. We aim to characterize longitudinal outcomes in anti-NMDARe using multiple outcome measures. METHODS: This single-center, retrospective, observational study examined outcome measures (mRS and Clinical Assessment Scale in Autoimmune Encephalitis [CASE]) in adults with NMDA receptor-IgG in CSF at short- and long-term follow-ups using linear and logistic regression modeling. Patients with evaluations for cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment/Mini-Mental State Examination), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7) >6 months from symptom onset were correlated with final CASE scores. RESULTS: < 0.001), only 9 patients (31%) returned to their premorbid function. Among patients with cognitive and mood evaluations >6 months from onset, moderate-severe cognitive impairment (42%), depression (28%), and anxiety (30%) were frequent. Cognitive and depression measures were associated with final CASE subscores (including memory, language, weakness, and psychiatric). DISCUSSION: Multiple clinical factors influenced short-term outcomes, but only onset weakness influenced long-term mRS, highlighting that mRS is predominantly affected by global motor function. Although mRS and CASE improved over time for most patients, these outcome measures did not capture the full extent of long-term functional impairment in terms of mood, cognition, and the ability to return to premorbid function. This emphasizes the need for increased utilization of more nuanced cognitive and mood outcome measures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
