Aim: To develop a score based on clinical and laboratory parameters in acute-phase of GBS to predict outcome at 6 months.
Methods: Clinical and laboratory assessment at admission including blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), pre and post-immunotherapy serum albumin was prospectively performed in pediatric-GBS cases at a tertiary-care hospital over 1 year. Clinical features and laboratory test results were compared between children with complete (Hughes Disability Score; HDS ≤ 1) and incomplete recovery (HDS > 1) at 6 months from onset, using univariate and multivariate analysis.
Objective: To describe the clinical-laboratory profile of pediatric Guillain-Barre syndrome and delineate features associated with need of mechanical ventilation.
Methods: In a prospective observational study at tertiary care hospital, clinical-laboratory assessment and nerve conduction studies were documented in consecutive children hospitalized with Guillain-Barre syndrome according to Brighton criteria. Clinical-laboratory features were compared between ventilated and nonventilated patients using univariate and multivariate analysis.
