“…Therefore, the probability estimation of the muscles involvements mentioned above is meaningful to diagnose. Lynn et al [13] reported that bulbar muscle was more probably to be involved in sIBMs than in other inflammatory myopathies. Felice and his colleagues [11] reported that 38-84% sIBM patients suffered from bulbar muscle.…”

This study is to investigate the clinical and pathologic features of sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) in China. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and pathological features of consecutive patients in our department between January 1986 to May 2012. Total 28 cases of sIBM (20 males, 8 females, mean age was 56.93±8.79) were obtained by review of all 4099 muscle biopsy reports. The proportion of sIBM was 0.68% (28/4099) in China. Muscle weakness of quadriceps appeared 100% in 28 cases, while conspicuous atrophy of quadriceps appeared only in five cases (17.86%). Creatase values of 28 patients with sIBM were normal or mildly elevated. Muscle biopsies showed that atrophic fibers resembled more frequent in small angular and irregular shape (82.14%), less common in small round shape (17.86%). Rimmed vacuoles resembled crack (67.86%) and round (32.14%) shape. Mononuclear cell invasion into necrotic muscle fibers (35.71%) was more frequent than non-necrotic muscle fibers (7.14%). sIBM was still a rare disease in China compared to other countries. There were some certain specific pathological characteristics existed in Chinese sIBM patients.

“…Given that autoimmune myopathies affect demographic subgroups differentially, an overall population prevalence estimate might be somewhat uninformative. Variations in the frequency of autoimmune myopathies by age and sex have been estimated in earlier studies 10 11. However, much of the existing data was generated decades ago; the ageing of populations in the developed world probably means that current prevalence is higher than previous estimates 12.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] Although immunosuppressive therapies may provide transient benefits, there is no known effective treatment for this condition. 7,8 Dysphagia is more common in IBM than in the other inflammatory myopathies 9 and is reported to be occurring in 38 -84% of patients. 2,3,10 -13 Moreover, its outcome is worse in patients with IBM than in those with either poly-or dermatomyositis 14 and its contribution to aspiration pneumonia associated respiratory failure may be the most common cause of death in people with IBM.…”
