Clinical characteristics and factors associated with functional outcome in patients with Guillain Barré syndrome

Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) patients retrospectively and identify the prognostic factors associated with worse outcome at discharge and at the end of the first month in patients with GBS. Materials and Methods: Patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of GBS were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of the patients, cerebrospinal fluid examinations, treatment regimens, Medical Research Council (MRC) and Hughes Motor Scale (HMS) scores were recorded and HMS ≥3 was accepted as associated with poor prognosis in patients. SPSS version 25 program was used in the statistical analysis of the data. p
