ISSN 1650-1977 Objective: To use the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to describe and compare patient-reported disability in Guillain-Barré syndrome survivors and persons with multiple sclerosis, and to identify relevant environmental factors. Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 77 survivors of GuillainBarré syndrome in the community. Their Guillain-Barré syndrome-related problems were linked with ICF categories (second level) using an open-ended questionnaire, consensus between health professionals and the “linking rules”, and compared with similar data collected previously for 101 persons with multiple sclerosis. Results: Guillain-Barré syndrome survivors were male (59%) and older than persons with multiple sclerosis (mean age 55 vs 49 years). Of 170 ICF categories, 113 were relevant for Guillain-Barré syndrome survivors (mean number 30 vs 18 for persons with multiple sclerosis). The linked categories for Guillain-Barré syndrome included: body function 27 (56%) compared with 48 (42%) for persons with multiple sclerosis; body structure 11 (68%) vs 16 (34%); activities and participation 48 (70%) and 68 (58%); and for environmental factors 27 (71%) compared with 38 (51%) for persons with multiple sclerosis. The main areas linked in the activities and participation domain were mobility, major life areas and interpersonal relationships; and environmental factors included support and relationships, attitudes and products and technology. Conclusion: This is the first study to use ICF in GuillainBarré syndrome survivors and towards development of the ICF Core Set for Guillain-Barré syndrome from a broader international perspective.

Evidence of recent or ongoing Campylobacter jejuni infection has been found in approximately one out of every four cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). It is increasingly accepted that C. jejuni infection is an important causal factor for GBS. However, the likelihood of GBS’ occurring following an episode of C. jejuni gastroenteritis has not been measured.The authors measured the incidence o...
