Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy. We compared clinical, laboratory characteristics, and disease course of GBS subtypes in a large group of Iranian patients in Isfahan.
We collected data from patients who were admitted to Alzahra referral university Hospital, Isfahan, Iran with a diagnosis of GBS. In this population-based cross-sectional research, characteristic of 388 cases with GBS between 2010 and 2015 were studied.
The current study recruited 388 patients with GBS including 241 males (62.1%) and 147 females (37.9%) with a mean age of 42.78 ± 21.34. Patients with polyradiculopathy had the highest mean age of 55.12 ± 20.59 years, whereas the least age was seen in acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) with the mean of 36.30 ± 18.71 years. The frequency of GBS witnessed the highest frequency in spring with 113 cases (29.1%) and winter with 101 cases (26%). Patients' electrodiagnostic findings indicated that the highest frequency pertained to AMSAN with 93 cases (24%), whereas the least frequent diagnosis was acute Polyradiculopathy with 8 cases (2.1%). Most of the patients did not have any infections (53.6%) and among patients with infections, AMSAN had the highest frequency (22.9%) and finally, patients with AMSAN and AMAN had a higher length of stay.
The study demonstrated incidence, sex distribution, preceding infection, and surgery similar to previous studies. However, our data differs from a study in Tehran that showed acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy is more prevalent than other types and we found a seasonal preponderance in cold months, particularly in axonal types.
吉兰-巴雷综合征(GBS)是一种免疫介导的周围神经病。我们比较了伊朗伊斯法罕一大群患者中GBS各亚型的临床、实验室特征及病程。
我们收集了伊朗伊斯法罕阿尔扎赫拉转诊大学医院收治的诊断为GBS的患者的数据。在这项基于人群的横断面研究中,对2010年至2015年间388例GBS患者的特征进行了研究。
本研究纳入了388例GBS患者,其中男性241例(62.1%),女性147例(37.9%),平均年龄42.78±21.34岁。多神经根病患者的平均年龄最高,为55.12±20.59岁,而急性运动轴索性神经病(AMAN)患者的年龄最小,平均为36.30±18.71岁。GBS的发病频率在春季最高,有113例(29.1%),冬季有101例(26%)。患者的电诊断结果表明,最高频率属于急性运动感觉轴索性神经病(AMSAN),有93例(24%),而最少见的诊断是急性多神经根病,有8例(2.1%)。大多数患者没有任何感染(53.6%),在有感染的患者中,AMSAN的频率最高(22.9%),最后,AMSAN和AMAN患者的住院时间更长。
该研究显示的发病率、性别分布、前驱感染及手术情况与以往研究相似。然而,我们的数据与德黑兰的一项研究不同,该研究显示急性炎症性脱髓鞘性多神经根神经病比其他类型更普遍,而我们发现寒冷月份有季节性优势,尤其是轴索性类型。
