Guillain-Barré syndrome: incidence and mortality rates in US hospitals.

摘要: Objective: To determine the incidence, in-hospital mortality, and predictors of death in Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) a large US cohort. Methods: Our cohort was identified from Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, 2000 through 2004. We excluded patients younger than 18 years those who presented with rapidly paralyzing conditions due to other causes. GBS were transferred between hospitals counted once. The incidence rate adjusted for 20% census reported by Census Bureau. A logistic regression model used identify death. Results: After data cleansing, 4,954 primary diagnosis GBS. varied 1.65 1.79 per 100,000 during included this study. mortality 2.58% (128/4,954) did not change significantly over study period. Eleven percent had variable pulmonary complications, 9.1% received endotracheal intubation, which predictor (adjusted odds ratio 5.09, 95% CI 3.21–8.05). Other older age, composite comorbidity index, cardiac sepsis. Conclusion: is low, are similar predicting poor disability outcome. disease stable 5 GLOSSARY: ICD-9-CM = International Classification Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification; ICF intermediate care facility; IQR interquartile range; syndrome; NIS Sample; OR ratio; SNF skilled nursing facility.
