To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of expert consensus-derived criteria for distinguishing inclusion body myositis from other muscle diseases.
Conducted a Class II diagnostic accuracy study assessing established expert consensus-derived diagnostic criteria.
Evaluated the capacity of existing diagnostic categories to differentiate inclusion body myositis from competing neuromuscular and muscle diseases.
Consensus-derived diagnostic categories accurately differentiated inclusion body myositis from other muscle diseases with consistently high specificity.
Diagnostic sensitivity varied widely across the evaluated diagnostic category frameworks.
