Time Until Guillain-Barré Syndrome or Bell's Palsy Diagnosis following Initiation of Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment

In this request, we examined the number of checkpoint inhibitor users with a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) or Bell's palsy after drug initiation in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD). We also examined the time to GBS or Bell's palsy diagnosis after checkpoint inhibitor initiation among users in the SDD.

We used data from March 1, 2011 to June 30, 2018 from 17 Data Partners contributing to the SDD in this report. We distributed this request to Data Partners on September 25, 2018.
