Implication

R-R variations may track transient autonomic impairment in GBS; single case leaves open routine ECG monitoring.

Structured PICO

Does measurement of R-R variations on ECG reliably track autonomic dysfunction in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome?

P
Population
6 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome
I
Intervention
Measurement of R-R variations on ECG
O
Outcome
Autonomic function impairment measured by R-R variationssurrogate

R-R variations on ECG provide a reliable method for tracking autonomic dysfunction and recovery in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
