Causes of Death Among Patients with Myasthenia Gravis in Norway Between 1951 and 2001
JNNP 77:203-207, Owe,J.F.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This study shows that patients with MG dying between 1951 and 1995 had a higher occurrence of respiratory tract disease listed as cause of death than had a matched control group. The lack of difference after 1995 probably reflects improved treatment of MG and its complications. The reduced occurrence of cardiac disease among patients with MG is probably explained by competing factors (respiratory tract disease) causing death.
