Overview
Incidence vary from 0.4 to 4.0 cases per population of 100 000. In previous studies, Guillain-Barre syndrome mortality rate was 2.58%. It can happen in any age group but it’s more common in late adolescence. The reason behind this is that immune suppressor mechanisms will decrease with age. It was demonstrated in one study that the incidence rate for whites were 0.44 and for blacks were 0.28 per 100,000, but it seems that despite all of these, the incidence is similar across different races. It is more common among males compared to females. Male to female ratio 1.5:1.
