The aim is to determine the frequency of neurophysiological subtypes of pediatric Guillain-Barré syndrome and assess their short-term clinical outcomes.
Reviewed medical records of 45 children diagnosed with GBS at Bangladesh Shishu Hospital from January to December 2024.
Used Brighton criteria to document socio-demographic data, cerebrospinal fluid findings, and nerve conduction study–based subtypes.
Assessed functional outcomes with the Hughes GBS Disability Scale at discharge and 3-month follow-up.
The most common GBS subtype was AMAN (53%), followed by AMSAN (31%) and AIDP (16%).
AMSAN was associated with greater disease severity, including longer illness duration and higher ICU admissions (p=0.01, 0.03).
AMSAN had poorer 3-month recovery rates compared to other subtypes (p=0.04); IVIG use correlated with worse outcomes (p=0.017).
