Reliability and validity of prognostic indicators for Guillain–Barré syndrome in childrenfree
What this paper adds
What this paper adds- The Erasmus Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) Outcome Score (EGOS) and modified EGOS are reliable prognostic predictors in paediatric patients with GBS.
- The Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Score (EGRIS) is an effective predictor of mechanical ventilation in paediatric patients with GBS.
- An EGRIS of ≥5 indicates a high risk of mechanical ventilation in the acute phase.
The Erasmus Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) outcome score (EGOS) and modified EGOS are reliable prognostic predictors in paediatric patients with GBS; mEGOS-D7 ≥5.0 and EGOS ≥3.5 indicate poor GDS prognosis at 6 months, and mEGOS-OA ≥2.5, mEGOS-D7 ≥7.5 and EGOS ≥3.5 for MRS.The Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Score (EGRIS) is an effective predictor of mechanical ventilation in paediatric patients with GBS.An EGRIS ≥5 indicates a high risk of mechanical ventilation in the acute phase.
