RationalePredicting length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) in children with Guillain-Barre syndrome may help decision-making at admission.Materials And MethodsBetween 1996 and 2003, we attended to 30 children with Guillain-Barre syndrome who required ventilatory support in ICU. We prospectively collected different variables that could potentially predict prolonged length of stay and ventilatory support in ICU.ConclusionUsing Cox proportional hazard analysis we found that lack of electrical excitability was the best predictor.
