Several cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have been described. This study illustrated the demographic, clinical, and neurophysiological characteristics of patients with GBS and COVID-19, as well as associated factors with disability at discharge.
A retrospective analytical observational study was conducted. It included patients diagnosed with GBS admitted in a national reference center in Peru between 2019 and 2021. Epidemiological, clinical, neurophysiological, and cerebrospinal fluid data were analyzed. A multivariate analysis, using the generalized linear model, was performed, considering the presence of disability at discharge as the dependent variable.
Eight-one subjects diagnosed with GBS were included. The mean age was 46.8 years (SD: 15.2), with a predominance of males (61.73%). The most frequent clinical presentation was the classic sensory-motor form in 74 cases (91.36%) with AIDP (82.35%) as the most frequent neurophysiological pattern in the group with COVID-19, while AMAN pattern predominated (59.26%) in those without COVID-19 ( = <0.000). The disability prevalence ratio at discharge between subjects with COVID-19 and those without COVID-19 was 1.89 (CI 1.06-3.34), = 0.030, adjusted for age, sex, and neurophysiological subtype.
The neurophysiologic subtype AIDP, and a higher disability were associated with the presence of COVID-19.
已有数例与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染相关的吉兰-巴雷综合征(GBS)病例被报道。本研究阐述了GBS合并新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)患者的人口统计学、临床和神经生理学特征,以及出院时残疾的相关因素。
进行一项回顾性分析观察研究。纳入2019年至2021年在秘鲁一家国家参考中心收治的确诊为GBS的患者。分析其流行病学、临床、神经生理学和脑脊液数据。以出院时是否存在残疾为因变量,采用广义线性模型进行多变量分析。
纳入81例确诊为GBS的患者。平均年龄为46.8岁(标准差:15.2),男性占多数(61.73%)。最常见的临床表现为经典的感觉运动型,共74例(91.36%),其中急性炎症性脱髓鞘性多发性神经病(AIDP,82.35%)是COVID-19组最常见的神经生理学类型,而急性运动轴索性神经病(AMAN)类型在无COVID-19的患者中占主导(59.26%)(P<0.000)。在调整年龄、性别和神经生理学亚型后,COVID-19患者与无COVID-19患者出院时的残疾患病率比值为1.89(95%置信区间1.06 - 3.34),P = 0.030。
神经生理学亚型AIDP以及更高的残疾率与COVID-19的存在相关。
