Studies include acetylcholine myasthenia gravis and muscle-specific kinase myasthenia gravis. The studies also included information on the incidence rate, prevalence rate and mortality rate. The researchers then studied the influence of environmental and technical factors on the observed trends or variations. Researchers used multiple sources to calculate estimates of the incidence rate, prevalence rate, and mortality rate. Between 1950 and 2007, 55 studies were performed and it was concluded that the researchers reported the results and that the results show evidence of an increasing frequency of myasthenia gravis with the year of study.
