The aim of this retrospective observational single-center cohort study is to gain a deeper understanding regarding the frequency, the clinical and electrophysiologic characteristics (e.g., the diagnostic work up), complications, treatment regimes, and their associations with specific courses of disease and outcomes in adult patients with the suspected or proven diagnosis of GBS.
Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare and life-threatening neurological emergency. The aim of this retrospective study including adult GBS patients from the last 15 years treated at the University Hospital of Basel is to assess data regarding diagnostic workup, treatment, clinical course including complications and outcomes.
