In a diagnostic assessment using fictitious case, 95.0% of neurologists, 74.2% of orthopedists, and 72.5% of internists suspected CIDP.

A web-based survey (Nikkei BP Panel) was conducted among 120 physicians each in the fields of neurology, orthopedics, and internal medicine.
The web survey was first accessed by 845 participants, and 831 of them provided the informed consent form for the study and answered the screening questions. 112physicians were excluded due to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Furthermore, after excluding 68 ones who did not continue with the survey, 55 with discrepancies in age and years of experience in the current specialty, and 236 due to exceeding the planned data, the final 360 physicians (120 neurologists, 120 orthopedists, and 120 general internists) were the final participants for analyses in the present study.
NA
In response to questions related to the knowledge level of CIDP, most of the neurologists (n = 109, 90.8%) reported that they understand how to treat this disease or understand how to diagnose it. However, 13 (10.8%) of the orthopedists and 16 (13.3%) of the general internists understood the treatment or diagnose of the disease.
In response to questions related to hypothetical case (Questions 1, 5, 9 and 13), percentage of neurologists who highly suspected/suspected the hypothetical case to be CIDP were 94.2% (n = 113), 77.5% (n = 93), 89.2% (n = 107), and 95.0% (n = 114), respectively. However, percentage of orthopedists who highly suspected/suspected the hypothetical case to be CIDP were 55.8% (n = 67), 38.3% (n =46), 66.6% (n = 80), and 73.1% (n = 89), respectively; and percentage of general internists were 71.7% (n = 86), 35.9% (n =43), 65.0% (n = 78), and 72.5% (n =87), respectively.
In response to questions related to collaboration for CIDP (Question 17), more than 70% of orthopedists and general internists who suspected CIDP answered that they consider referring to a neurologist, while about 10% answered that they continue treatment in their own hospital without referral to other departments.
In response to the treatment which were typically administered to patients with CIDP during routine clinical practice, majority of the neurologists (n = 100, 83.3%) selected IVIg, however, most of the non-specialists (orthopedists, n = 81, 67.5%; general internists, n = 66, 55.0%) preferred referring the patients to another department for treatment.
Of the neurologists selected immunoglobulin for maintenance therapy (Q24-2) and made answer for CIDP to Q26 in this study (n = 49), 27 (55.1%) considered between 1 - 3 months of treatment, 7 (14.3%) ones considered within 1 month of treatment as the appropriate CIDP maintenance therapy time. In other words, 34 (69.4%) indicated less than 3 months was the appropriate CIDP maintenance therapy time for CIDP.
