Prediction of mechanical ventilation in Guillain-Barré syndrome at admission: Construction of a nomogram and comparison with the EGRIS model

Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) is a common and severe complication of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with a reported incidence ranging from 20 % to 30 %. Thus, we aim to develop a nomogram to evaluate the risk of MV in patients with GBS at admission and tailor individualized care and treatment.
