Article Synopsis
- The study examined cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following COVID-19 vaccination compared to non-vaccinated GBS cases in Buenos Aires, involving 91 patients treated from March 2020 to March 2022.
- Patients who had been vaccinated showed a higher incidence of cranial nerve involvement and bilateral facial paralysis, but overall clinical severity scores and other neurophysiological characteristics were similar between the two groups.
- The findings suggest a need for further research to clarify any potential link between COVID-19 vaccination and GBS, particularly through ongoing vaccine safety monitoring and epidemiological studies.
Background: There is scarce information regarding the decision-making process (DMP) in people with MS (PwMS) from Latin America.
Objective: To evaluate the DMP in Argentinean PwMS and to assess its relationship with patient preferences, and clinical-demographic characteristics.
Methods: PwMS from the patient organization Esclerosis Múltiple Argentina (n = 1275) were invited to participate in a self-administered web-based survey.
