Early diagnosis is crucial but difficult, as initial steps facing sub-acute neurological disorders try to exclude non-immune causes such as stroke or infections through MRI and multiplex PCR assays. Current acute-phase autoimmune identifiers are lacking, with definitive diagnosis hinging on delayed tests like antibody detection or intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis (ISI) identification via iso-electric focalization (IEF). This study evaluates surrogate markers, such as the IgG quotient (QIgG), IgG index, and Reiber's formula, which are rapidly obtainable, to quickly predict ISI in the ICU setting, aiming to expedite treatment initiation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We screened all neuro-ICU admissions from 2008 to 2022 in our center, including patients who underwent a lumbar puncture (LP) and were tested for ISI via IEF.
