Residual physical outcome and daily living 3 to 6 years after Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Three to six years after onset of Guillain-Barré syndrome, 63% of 122 patients showed one or more changes in their lifestyle, work, or leisure activities, or in the life of their partners. The changes were influenced by an impaired final functional outcome, along with loss of power and poor condition, although physically recovered patients showed these changes as well.
