From: Early treatment with IgM-enriched intravenous immunoglobulin does not mitigate critical illness polyneuropathy and/or myopathy in patients with multiple organ failure and SIRS/sepsis: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial

Figure 2

Screening and randomization scheme. Patients were screened for multiple (≥2) organ failure and a SIRS/sepsis diagnosis. Patients meeting these criteria were assessed by a neurologist for clinical signs of critical illness polyneuropathy and/or myopathy (CIPNM). Patients with clinical signs of CIPNM were randomized to receive either intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) or placebo.
