ABSTRACT
Being Guillain Barre a condition that generates a significant diminishment of patient’s functional capacity is necessary to start or continue with the assistance of a team of professionals from different fields that would assist the patient during his stay at the hospital. This team would be in charge of collecting and updating the patients personal information such as where the patient is coming from, functional progress, severe pathologies, gender, variants as well as data collected during the patient’s stay at the hospital. Because of this, this research project was created with the purpose of having a retrospective view of the patients assisted at this center and to be able to determine their functional progress. A sample of 134 files was taken which corresponds to the 100% of the patients admitted for the first time for the 2007- 2011 period. Out of these files 47 were excluded since they did not comply with criteria required. This paper was based on a manual revision of the therapeutic evaluation included on the patient’s profiles at the both the moment in which they were admitted and discharged at CENARE. This manual revision gave out conclusive results on regards to their improvement. Comparing the evolution observed on the patients after being discharged, it was noticed that he patients with the AIDP variant showed the highest functional progress, followed by patients with the AMAN variant and in the last place the patients with the AMSAM variant, which showed the lowest progress of all three groups.REFERENCES
