OBJECTIVE To study the risk factors associated with the need for mechanical ventilation in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). METHODS The medical data of 107 children with GBS were retrospectively reviewed. According to whether mechanical ventilation was required, the children were divided into a mechanical ventilation group with 16 children and a non-mechanical ventilation group with 91 children. The risk factors associated with the need for mechanical ventilation in children with GBS were identified by a multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Among the 107 children, 16 (15.0%) required mechanical ventilation. Compared with the non-mechanical ventilation group, the mechanical ventilation group had a significantly higher proportion of children with facial and/or bulbar muscle weakness, a significantly shorter duration from the onset to the peak of the disease, and a significantly higher Hughes Functional Grading Scale score at the first visit (P<0.05). Facial and/or bulbar muscle weakness and short duration from the onset to the peak of the disease were risk factors associated with the need for mechanical ventilation in children with GBS (OR=5.053 and 1.239 respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Facial and/or bulbar muscle weakness and short duration from the onset to the peak of the disease may increase the risk of mechanical ventilation in children with GBS. Citation.

D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D020275 Guillain-Barre Syndrome An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur.
