Classification of Guillain-Barré syndrome based on electrophysiological features
Keywords:
Classification, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Electrophysiological, FeaturesAbstract
Objective: Our study aimed to identify the most common subtypes of Guillian Barre Syndrome in our sample group and evaluate their electrophysiological features to better understand the disorder. Materials and methods: Between January 2020 and February 2021, we gathered information from patients diagnosed with Guillian Barre Syndrome and referred to the Neurology department at Lady Reading Hospital. Results: We enrolled 39 people with Guillian Barre Syndrome; 26 were male (67%), whereas 13 were female (33%). Based on electrophysiological analyses, axonal diversity is most common (AMAN followed by AMSAN). The average age of a patient with AMSAN was 39.2 21.8 years, but those with the demyelinating form were only 28 14.5. Springtime was the greatest incidence of GBS with 13 cases (33%), followed by fall with 12 cases (31%). Conlusion: A significant incidence of the axonal variety of [Guillain-Barré Syndrome] was found in our research, which was conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
