Purpose:In current electrodiagnostic criteria for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, the cutoff values of distal compound muscle action potential (DCMAP) duration are defined using electromyogram low-cut filter setting of 20 Hz. We aimed to assess effects of low-cut filter on DCMAP duration (10 vs. 20 Hz).Methods:We prospectively measured DCMAP duration in 130 normal controls and 42 patients, fulfilling diagnostic criteria for typical chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy by European Federation of Neurological Societies/Peripheral Nerve Society.Results:Distal compound muscle action potential duration was significantly shortened with 20-Hz than 10-Hz filtering. When the cutoff values were defined as the upper limit of normal (ULN, mean+ 2.5 SD), the sensitivity/specificity was 67%/95% in 10-Hz recordings, and 69%/95% in 20-Hz recordings. This diagnostic accuracy was similar to that defined by receiver operating characteristic analyses.Conclusions:Distal compound muscle action potential duration significantly affected by the low-cut electromyogram filter setting, but with at least 10 and 20 Hz, the diagnostic accuracy is similar.
