Background  To identify the predictive factors associated with worse prognosis in the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which can be helpful to fully evaluate the disease progression and provide proper treatments.    Methods  Clinical data of 111 GBS patients who were diagnosed from 2010 to 2015 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.    Results  Patients with diabetes ( P =0.031), high blood pressure at admission ( P =0.034), uroschesis ( P =0.028), fever ( P <0.001), ventilator support ( P <0.001) during hospitalization, disorder of consciousness ( p =0.007) and absence of preceding respiratory infection( P =0.016) were associated with worse outcome at discharge, while abnormal sensation, ataxia, weakness and decrease of tendon reflex seemed not correlated with the Medical Research Council(MRC) score at discharge. Compared with the subtype of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, prognosis of Miller-Fisher syndrome ( p <0.001) and cranial nerve variant ( p <0.038) were better, but prognosis of acute motor axonal neuropathy(AMAN) was worse ( p <0.032). Laboratory examinations at admission showed that hyperglycemia ( P =0.002), high leukocyte count ( P =0.010), hyperfibrinogenemia ( P =0.001), hyponatremia ( P =0.020), hypoalbuminemia ( P =0.005), abnormal hepatic ( P =0.048) and renal ( P =0.009) functions were associated with poorer prognosis at discharge, while albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid, GM1 and GQ1b antibody showed no correlation with the MRC score at discharge. γ-Globulin and glucocorticoid therapies showed no difference in the MRC score at the discharge.    Conclusions  AMAN, diabetes, high blood pressure, uroschesis, high body temperature, ventilator support, consciousness disorder, absence of upper respiratory tract preceding infection, hyperglycemia, hyponatremia, hypoalbuminemia, high leukocyte count, hyperfibrinogenemia, abnormal hepatic and renal function were demonstrated as poor prognostic factors.
