OBJECTIVE: Autonomic dysfunction occurs in approximately two-thirds of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) patients in the acute phase of the disease. Although improving over time, subclinical autonomic involvement may be present for 3-8 years after the GBS episode. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of self-reported autonomic disorders in GBS patients three and six months after disease onset compared to healthy controls (HCs).
METHODS: Our study included adult patients diagnosed with GBS from May 2017 until May 2018 in seven healthcare centers (67.6 % with demyelinating and 13.6 % with axonal syubtype). Functional disability was assessed by the Guillain-Barré syndrome disability scale (GDS). Each subject filled in the Serbian version of the SCOPA-Aut questionnaire. Using GDS and SCOPA-Aut, patients were tested at month 3 (M3) (n = 71) and month 6 (M6) (n = 70) from symptom onset.
RESULTS: Dysautonomia was more common in patients with GBS compared to HCs at M3 (p < 0.01), while there was no difference at M6 (p > 0.05). Among autonomic disorders, constipation, complications to pass stool, and orthostatic hypotension were the most frequently reported. Patients with axonal variants had worse total SCOPA-Aut scores at M3 in comparison to AIDP patients (11.7 ± 10.1 vs. 6.1 ± 5.1, p < 0.05). GDS score correlated with the total SCOPA-Aut score.
CONCLUSION: Autonomic symptoms are common in GBS patients during the recovery phase. They are more pronounced in patients with axonal forms of GBS and those with a higher degree of functional disability.
