| Abstract |
Acute Inflammatory polyneuropathies are an important group of neuromuscular disorders and are referred to collectively as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Our knowledge regarding pathogenesis, diagnosis and management continues to expand, resulting in improved opportunities for identification and treatment. These autoimmune processes cause neuropathy by affecting various structures (myelin or axons), at different locations (nerve root, nerve cell bodies or peripheral nerve) with a variety of patterns. Most clinical neurologists will be involved in the management of patients with these disorders, and there are now a variety of reasonable therapies available for acquired demyelinating neuropathies. In this report, we review the distinctive clinical, laboratory and electro-diagnostic features that aid in their diagnosis, with emphasis on clinical characteristics that are of paramount importance in diagnosing specific conditions and determining the most appropriate therapies, and helpful in determining long-term prognosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2013.
All research outputs
#18,337,420
of 22,708,120 outputs
Outputs from Current Treatment Options in Neurology
#365
of 468 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#151,090
of 199,478 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Treatment Options in Neurology
#10
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,708,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 468 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 199,478 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
