A Predictive Model for Respiratory Failure and Determining the Risk Factors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Children with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Objective: Determining the predictors of respiratory failure and duration of intubation in children with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).

Materials & Methods: Children diagnosed with GBS at Tabriz Children's Hospital were studied. Factors associated with and influencing respiratory failure as well as the duration of intubation were determined using both univariate and multiple analyses.
