Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder targeting the peripheral nervous system. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a simple indicator of immune function, is potentially related to its incidence and severity; however, this should be confirmed. We aimed to evaluate the role of NLR in the diagnosis, severity, and prognosis of GBS. Methods: Data of GBS patients and controls visiting our hospital from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed (Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2100053540). Risk factors were determined through logistic regression. Smoothing curves, receiver-operating characteristic curves, and forest plots were drawn. Results: We included 136 GBS patients and 211 controls. NLR, as a continuous variable, was associated with GBS risk (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.68–3.21; p |
