Keywords:
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), acute motor demyelinating neuropathy (AMDN), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS)Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the level of functional independence in patients with various clinical forms of Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS) based on the Barthel Index scores, taking into account gender differences. The obtained data indicate variability in the degree of loss of daily activity depending on the form of the disease and the patient's gender.
