Comparisons between patients with and without mechanical ventilation. a The seasonal distribution in GBS occurrence was different between Group MV and Group NV. More GBS patients with mechanical ventilation were found in winter, while those without mechanical ventilation were more common in summer (both p < 0.05). b Time from onset to admission and time from onset to nadir were both shorter in Group MV (3.5 versus 6.3 and 5.9 versus 7.6; both p < 0.05). As assessed by c the MRC sum score and d HFGS, more severe disease severity was found in Group MV (MRC, 16.6 versus 41.0; HFGS, 5 versus 3.0; both p < 0.05). Group MV GBS patients with mechanical ventilation, Group NV GBS patients did not require mechanical ventilation, HFGS Hughes Functional Grading Scale, MRC Medical Research Council (sum score)
