The predictive role of chief complaints. a The Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) patients complaining of weakness had poor outcomes 6 months after discharge (modified Erasmus GBS outcome scores (mEGOS): 3.5 with IQR of 2–6 vs 1 with IQR of 0–4, p < .001). However, the patients with the chief complaints of numbness and cranial nerve involvement were observed to have better prognosis (mEGOS: 2 with IQR of 0–4 vs 3 with IQR of 2–6, p < .001; 1 with IQR of 0–3 vs 3 with IQR of 2–5.5, p < .001). b The numbers (percentage) of severe GBS patients, with clinic GBS severity evaluation scale (CGSES) scores ranging from 1 to 4, were 10 (50%) (n = 20), 66 (67%) (n = 98), 79 (80%) (n = 98), and 136 (91%) (n = 150), respectively
