Abstract
Background
The incidence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is variable and is still unknown in our geographical area. Poor prognostic factors have been studied, but few have analyzed those that influence long-term results. The objective of this study is to know the incidence, characteristics and factors associated with disability and dependency in these patients from a population registry.
Subjects and method
Observational study in patients diagnosed with GBS from 2009 to 2020 and registered in the Rare Disease Information System (SIER) of the Region of Murcia (Spain). The crude and adjusted rates for age, sex and year of the period were calculated and the associations between disability and/or dependency with the rest of the variables were analyzed.
Results
During the study period, 250 incident cases were diagnosed. The standardized incidence rate (SIR) was 1.52/100,000 person-years, higher in men and increasing with age in both sexes. The disease was more frequent after respiratory infections (46.4%) and in the cold months (56.4%), and the predominant variant was AIDP (54.3%). Greater disability and/or dependence were observed in patients with prolonged hospital stay (OR = 13.19; 95% CI: 3.81-45.67), ICU admission (OR = 2.37; 95% CI: 1.11- 5.06) and affected by axonal variants (OR = 3.54; 95% CI: 1.64-7.69) (P < .05).
Conclusions
The regional SIR is consistent with that reported in the national and international literature. 18.4% of the cases have recognized dependency and/or disability, associated with the axonal forms of the disease. Studies based on population registries offer representative and updated information and allow us to discover characteristics associated with a worse prognosis.

Neurología es la revista oficial de la Sociedad Española de Neurología y publica, desde 1986 contribuciones científicas en el campo de la neurología clínica y experimental. Los contenidos de Neurología abarcan desde la neuroepidemiología, la clínica neurológica, la gestión y asistencia neurológica y la terapéutica, a la investigación básica en neurociencias aplicada a la neurología. Las áreas temáticas de la revistas incluyen la neurologia infantil, la neuropsicología, la neurorehabilitación y la neurogeriatría. Los artículos publicados en Neurología siguen un proceso de revisión por doble ciego a fin de que los trabajos sean seleccionados atendiendo a su calidad, originalidad e interés y así estén sometidos a un proceso de mejora. El formato de artículos incluye Editoriales, Originales, Revisiones y Cartas al Editor, Neurología es el vehículo de información científica de reconocida calidad en profesionales interesados en la neurología que utilizan el español, como demuestra su inclusión en los más prestigiosos y selectivos índices bibliográficos del mundo.
