ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between the electrophysiological features and mechanical ventilation and long?term outcome in Guil?lain?Barré syndrome(GBS)patients. Methods Electrophysiological and clinical data were retrospectively collected,and compared between venti?lated and not ventilated patients,as well as among each subtype of GBS. Results Totally 38 GBS patients were included in the study,among which 12(32%)were ventilated. The p/d CMAP ratio of the common peroneal nerve was significantly lower in ventilated group compared to not ventilated group(48.7±15.3 vs 80.8±24.0,P=0.005). AIDP was the most common subtype in ventilated patients compared with AMAN and undetermined (46%vs 0%and 9%,P=0.027). The long?term outcome score of AMAN was significantly lower than AIDP(4.3±1.3 vs 2.5±0.9,P=0.028). Conclusion Electrophysiological testing was predictive for mechanical ventilation and long?term

outcome:

low p/d CMAP ratio of the common pero?neal nerve was helpful for predicting mechanical ventilation,AIDP was prone to develop respiratory failure and had a worse outcome compared to AMAN.
