Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: factors associated with worse functional outcome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Data from patients admitted to the ICU with SAH between January 2006 and December 2014 were retrospectively collected. We analyzed epidemiological variables, past history, severity scale scores (Glasgow Coma Scale at admission, Hunt-Hess, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Scale, Fisher and APACHE II), diagnostic methods, therapeutic management, complications, functional status at discharge and mortality. T test was used to compare means and logistic regression for assessing predictors. Data was analyzed with SPSS v19.

The outcome after aneurysmal sub arachnoid hemorrhage: a study of various factors
BACKGROUND Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (A-SAH), despite improvement in surgical and medical treatments, is still a serious disease with high fatality and morbidity rates. Despite the huge advances in neurosurgical management of the disease, there has not been a proportional improvement in outcome of this condition.

متن کاملNon-aneurysmal non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: patient characteristics, clinical outcome and prognostic factors based on a single-center experience in 125 patients
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is mainly caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysms but in up to 15% of patients with SAH no bleeding source could be identified. Our objective was to analyze patient characteristics, clinical outcome and prognostic factors in patients suffering from non-aneurysmal SAH. METHODS From 1999 to 2009, data of 125 patients with non-aneurysmal SAH were prospectiv...

متن کاملTake care when taking care of fever after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Fever is prevalent in the majority of patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and is associated with worse outcome. Treatment of fever is highly recommended, but with low-grade evidence in current guidelines. The analysis by Schiefecker and colleagues reveals that the situation may be more complicated than at first glance and careless treatment may introduce further harm. The importan...
متن کاملThe Met allele of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism predicts poor outcome among survivors of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in neuronal survival, plasticity and neurogenesis. The BDNF gene contains a common Val66Met polymorphism; the Met allele is associated with lower depolarization-induced BDNF release and differences in memory functions and brain morphology. We hypothesized that the Met allele is associated with poor recovery from subara...
