Abstract Objectives To compare the clinical profile and long-term outcome of children with asymmetry weakness and symmetry weakness in Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS). Methods We retrospective analysis the clinical parameters, auxiliary examinations and long-term outcome between asymmetry weakness and symmetry weakness in childhood GBS. Results A total of 72 children were included, 12 children had asymmetry weakness. Six children were transient asymmetry weakness and six children were persistent asymmetry weakness. Compared to symmetry weakness children, asymmetry weakness had more preschool children (75% vs 25%, P=0.005), longer days on hospital(26.5(15-37) days vs 11(9-15) days, p =0.000), more mechanical ventilation in children(50% vs 8.33%, p=0.000), higher Disease severity score(DSS)at nadir of disease(4(3-5) vs 3(1-4), p=0.010), more axonal subtypes(50% vs 15%, p=0.013) and more complications(58.33% vs 8.33%, p=0.000). Eight children had sequelae and sixty-four children had good recovery. Compared to good recovery group, sequelae group had more axonal subtypes(62.5% vs 15.63%, p=0.002) and more persistent asymmetry weakness(62.5% vs 4.69%, p=0.000). Conclusions In conclusion, asymmetry weakness had two types in GBS, namely transient and persistent asymmetry weakness. Asymmetry weakness in GBS indicated more complex condition during disease than symmetry weakness. Persistent asymmetry weakness and axonal subtypes in GBS related with sequelae. Anterior horn cells in the spinal cord involvement may be the possible function in persistent asymmetry weakness combined with axonal subtypes in GBS.

AbstractA majority of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have tendency of a good recovery. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of the disease 1 and 3 years after GBS symptom onset. Methods: During 2014, GBS was diagnosed in 82 patients in seven tertiary healthcare centers. Neurological follow-up was conducted in 57 (70%) patients after 1 year, and in 54 (66%) after 3 years. Functional disability was estimated according to the GBS disability scale (GDS), with a score of 0-3 indicating mild disability and a score of 4-6 indicating severe disability during acute phase, whereas a score >1 indicated poor recovery on follow-ups. Visual analog scale was used to assess sensory symptoms and musculoskelatal pain, and Krupp’s Fatigue Severity Scale was used to asses fatigue. Results: Poor functional outcome was found in 39% of GBS patients at year 1 and 30% at year 3. Paresthesias/dysesthesias were detected in 60% of patients after 1 year and 43% after 3 years. Musculoskeletal pain was present in 40% of patients at year 1 and 33% at year 3. Significant fatigue after 1 year was found in 21% of subjects and after 3 years in 7%. Parameters associated with poor functional outcome after 1 year were age >55 years (p=0.05), severe disability at admission (p<0.05), and on discharge (p<0.01). Poor functional outcome after 3 years was associated with male gender (p<0.05) and severe disability on discharge (p=0.06). Conclusion: One and even three years after GBS onset, a substantial number of patients had neurological sequelae, including functional disability, sensory symptoms, pain, and fatigue.

Background and purpose: Atherosclerotic ischemic stroke is the second most frequent etiology of stroke in the adult population. Functional outcome, mortality and recurrence of stroke rates on the long-term follow-up are poorly studied. This study investigates long-term outcome among patients with ischemic stroke secondary to atherosclerotic causality, and identifies the main factors associated with poor outcome, recurrence, and death. Methods: We analyzed data from our consecutive acute ischemic stroke database, over a period of 25 years (1990-2015). The endpoints were: bad outcome (Modified Rankin Score ≥3), recurrence and mortality at discharge, and final follow-up. Multivariate Cox and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to estimate the probability of death and recurrence. Results: A total of 946 consecutive atherosclerotic stroke patients were included (571 [60.4%] males, median age 65 years [interquartile range 57-73 years] for the entire population); dyslipidemia (64.2%), hypertension (63.3%), diabetes (35.0%), and active smoking history (31.8%) were the most prevalent risk factors.After a median follow-up of 38 months (IQR 12-75 months), 59.3% patients had a bad outcome at discharge. A result of 26.1% had stroke recurrence (median time until recurrence: 9 months [IQR 12-84 months], with 12.9% cases presenting ≥2 recurrences), and 24.1% were dead (median time to death: 18.5 months [IQR 11-74 months]) at the final follow-up period. After multivariate adjustment, hypertension (HR 4.2, CI 95% 2.8-6.1; p<0.001) was the strongest predictor of recurrence. Additionally, diabetes (HR 2.6, CI 95% 2.0-3.5; p<0.001), bad functional outcome after recurrence (HR 2.3, CI 95% 1.9-2.9; p<0.001), age ≥65 years (HR 2.2, CI 95% 1.7-2.9; p<0.001), and active smoking (HR 1.8, CI 95% 1.3-2.3; p<0.001) were the strongest predictors of mortality. Conclusions: Atherosclerotic ischemic stroke has a high rate of recurrence, associated mainly with hypertension. Mortality is predicted by diabetes, bad functional outcome at recurrence, and older age.
