The effect of inosiplex on the survival of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

We studied the probability of survival of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) patients prognostically stratified into rapidly and slowly developing SSPE, nontreatment, and inosiplex-treated groups. Based on life table analysis, survival did not differ between treated and untreated patients with rapidly developing SSPE. The cumulative survival rates were significantly (p less than 0.05) higher and the mortality rate significantly lower in the slowly developing inosiplex-treated group.
