Respiratory support is required in 20-30% of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). We investigated clinical and biological risk factors for mechanical ventilation (MV) in northeast China through a retrospective GBS study. The Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Score (EGRIS) is a prognostic model for MV in patients with GBS, and its usefulness has been validated in several countries but not in China. Therefore, we intended to validate the EGRIS model in our GBS cohort. A total of 252 patients with GBS were included in this study from January 2013 to October 2017. Risk factors for MV were identified via multivariate logistic regression analysis. The prognostic value of the EGRIS was validated via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Thirty-one patients (12.3%) required MV (mean age 54.19 years), with a majority being male (77.4%). The risk factors for MV were male sex [odds ratio (OR) 3.720, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.155-11.985, p < 0.05], shorter interval from onset to admission (OR 0.830, 95% CI 0.711-0.970, p < 0.05), lower Medical Research Council sum score at admission (OR 0.942, 95% CI 0.911-0.973, p < 0.001), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission (OR 1.174, 95% CI 1.049-1.315, p < 0.01), and cranial nerve deficit (OR 3.805, 95% CI 1.373-10.541, p < 0.05). The EGRIS had a good predictive ability for MV (area under the receiver operating curve 0.861) in patients with GBS, and a high EGRIS was a predictor for MV (OR 8.778, 95% CI 3.432-22.448, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in ganglioside administration between ventilated and nonventilated patients. An elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission and a high EGRIS could serve as predictors for MV in our GBS cohort.

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.
