The Guillain–Barré Syndrome
Abstract
WITH the virtual elimination of poliomyelitis, Guillain—Barré syndrome has become the most common cause of acute generalized paralysis, with an annual incidence of 0.75 to 2 cases per 100,000 population. Several clinical variants of this demyelinating polyneuropathy have been described, the electrophysiologic aspects better understood, and the immunologic basis clarified, but the diagnosis is still made by clinical acumen and experience. The eponym derives from the description in 1916 by G. Guillain and J.A. Barré, then French army neurologists, and A. Strohl, who performed the electrophysiologic recordings1; it remains useful because of uncertainty about the cause and pathogenesis of . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
