We carried out a case a case-control study to analyze the relationship between parenteral gangliosides administration and the Guillain-Barré syndrome.
We retrieved 64 patients with the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and 148 controls. In cases and controls the proportion and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of subject receiving gangliosides, was calculated. The number of patients with the Guillain-Barré syndrome who needed ventilation or died was also calculated.
Four of 36 patients (95% CI = 81-0.6), over 40 years, received gangliosides prior to Guillain-Barré syndrome. One of these patients was ventilated (95% CI = 25-2) and died. None of the controls less than 40 years old took gangliosides, while from the 108 over 40 (95% CI = 15-4) 9 received gangliosides. None developed signs suggesting Guillain-Barré syndrome. Although gangliosides were more often used in Guillain-Barré syndrome (OR = 1.75), the difference was not significant (95% CI = 4.82-0.69).
The present work proves that in spite of the association of Guillain-Barré syndrome, with gangliosides intake, there is no statistical difference between this group of patients and control population.
我们开展了一项病例对照研究,以分析胃肠外给予神经节苷脂与吉兰 - 巴雷综合征之间的关系。
我们检索出64例诊断为吉兰 - 巴雷综合征的患者以及148例对照。计算了病例组和对照组中接受神经节苷脂治疗的受试者比例及95%置信区间(CI)。还计算了需要通气或死亡的吉兰 - 巴雷综合征患者数量。
36例40岁以上的患者中有4例(95% CI = 81 - 0.6)在患吉兰 - 巴雷综合征之前接受了神经节苷脂治疗。其中1例患者需要通气(95% CI = 25 - 2)并死亡。40岁以下的对照组中无人服用神经节苷脂,而在108例40岁以上的患者(95% CI = 15 - 4)中有9例接受了神经节苷脂治疗。无人出现提示吉兰 - 巴雷综合征的体征。尽管神经节苷脂在吉兰 - 巴雷综合征患者中使用更为频繁(比值比 = 1.75),但差异无统计学意义(95% CI = 4.82 - 0.69)。
目前的研究证明,尽管吉兰 - 巴雷综合征与摄入神经节苷脂有关,但该组患者与对照人群之间无统计学差异。
