Although corticosteroid therapy typically yields favorable responses, limited therapeutic efficacy is observed in some patients who subsequently develop poor clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors using clinical data of patients with GFAP\u2010A.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study included 233 patients with GFAP\u2010A, who were followed up for more than 6\u2009months. At 6\u2009months after admission, patients were classified into unfavorable outcome [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score \u2265\u20093] and favorable outcome (mRS \u2264\u20092) groups. Clinical data were compared between the two groups using univariate analysis. Variables that showed statistically significant differences were subsequently analyzed using multiple regression analysis to identify the individual contribution of each predictor to the unfavorable outcomes at 6\u2009months after admission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the multiple regression analysis, age (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), seizures (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.050), motor paralysis (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.042), and mRS scores at admission (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001) were positively associated with unfavorable outcomes.
