Hocker S, et al. - The clinical associations and potential triggers of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks of surgery were identified in this analysis. Between January 1995 and June 2014, the researchers retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients diagnosed with GBS within 6 weeks of a surgery at Mayo Clinic. They involved an aggregate of two hundred eight patients with GBS, median age 55 years (interquartile range [IQR] 41–68) in this study. It was observed in the findings that surgery antedated GBS in 9.1% of patients. In patients with an active malignancy, postsurgical GBS was more common.
