Abstract
The effectiveness of target temperature management (TTM) in poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains a topic of debate. In order to assess the clinical efficacy of TTM in patients with poor-grade aSAH, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. This research was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023445582) and included all relevant publications up until October 2023. We compared the TTM groups with the control groups in terms of unfavorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale [mRS] score > 3), mortality, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), cerebral vasospasm (CVS), and specific complications. Subgroup analyses were performed based on country, study type, follow-up time, TTM method, cooling maintenance period, and rewarming rate. Effect sizes were calculated as relative risk (RR) using random-effect or fixed-effect models. The quality of the articles was assessed using the methodological index for non-randomized studies scale. Our analysis included a total of 5 clinical studies (including 1 randomized controlled trial) and 219 patients (85 in the TTM group and 134 in the control group). Most of the studies were of moderate quality. TTM was found to be associated with a statistically significant improvement in mortality (mRS score 6) rates compared with the control group (RR = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-0.94, p = 0.026). However, there was no statistically significant difference in unfavorable outcomes (mRS 4-6) between the TTM and control groups (RR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.71-1.26, p = 0.702). The incidence of adverse events, including DCI, CVS, pneumonia, cardiac complications, and electrolyte imbalance, did not significantly differ between the two groups. In conclusion, our overall results suggest that TTM does not significantly reduce unfavorable outcomes in poor-grade aSAH patients. However, TTM may decrease mortality rates. Preoperative TTM may cause patients to miss the opportunity for surgery, although it temporarily protects the brain. Furthermore, the incidence of adverse events was similar between the TTM and control groups.

World Neurosurg 2024; 183:e846-e859. [PMID: 38237800 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2024.01.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the effectiveness and safety of target temperature management (TTM) in treating patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The primary objective was to evaluate the neurological outcome at 3 months. Secondary objectives were to assess mortality, delayed cerebral ischemia, cerebral edema, hydrocephalus, midline shift, and laboratory indicators related to TTM. METHODS A single-blind, nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted. After admission, patients with poor-grade aSAH (Hunt-Hess scores IV ∼ V) were assigned to a TTM group or a control group in a 1:1 ratio. TTM with core temperatures ranging from 36°C to 37°C was performed immediately and maintained until microclipping or endovascular embolization. Subsequently, rapid induction to 33°C ∼ 35°C was carried out and maintained for 3 to 5 days. Then, the patients underwent slow rewarming to 36°C ∼ 37°C and maintained at that temperature for a minimum of 48 hours. RESULTS Sixty patients (30 treated with TTM and 30 with standard treatment) were included in the study. At 3 months, a favorable prognosis (modified Rankin scale score 0 to 3) was significantly higher in the TTM group than in the control group (n = 14, 46.7% vs. n = 6, 20.0%, P = 0.028). Adjusted multivariate logistics regression analysis indicated that TTM (odds ratio = 0.20, 95% confidence interval: 0.05-0.77, P = 0.019) reduced the number of unfavorable prognoses 3 months after admission. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of TTM in patients with poor-grade aSAH, and its implementation improved neurological outcomes. Multicenter randomized controlled studies with a large number of patients are needed to confirm these observations.

World Neurosurg 2023; 171:e874-e878. [PMID: 36627019 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Hunt-Hess (HH)5 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have high mortality rates. Despite an initial moribund exam, a subset of patients progress to favorable outcomes. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of delayed HH grading to improve prognostication. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing treatment of ruptured aneurysms at two level 1 stroke centers from January 2012 through December 2020. We collected relevant clinical information and developed a multivariate cox regression model to identify independent predictors of mortality. To evaluate the utility of delayed examinations in predicting outcomes, we re-assessed the HH grade at 48 hours post admission and constructed a logistic regression model with potential confounders to predict mortality. RESULTS From 2012 to 2020, 621 patients underwent treatment for aneurysmal SAH. We identified 63 HH5 patients (10%) with a mean age of 58 years. Among these patients, the median length of stay was 14 days, with 3 patients passing away within 48 hours. The overall mortality rate was 63% at 24 months. To predict mortality, our cox regression model found only age to be significant (P = 0.002). Delayed HH grading improved prognostication at 48 hours and remained significant on multivariate analysis as a predictor of mortality (P = 0.0001). We observed a significant difference in mortality between patients HH5 and patients HH4 or lower at 48 hours (P = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS Delayed reassessment of HH grade 48 hours postadmission is a predictor of mortality, suggesting reassessment at 48 hours in high grade SAH leads to better prognostication.

Clinical Efficacy Between Microsurgical Clipping and Endovascular Coiling in the Treatment of Ruptured Poor-Grade Anterior Circulation Aneurysms. World Neurosurg 2019; 127:e321-e329. [PMID: 30904812 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.02.248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2018] [Revised: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment for patients with poor-grade aneurysms defined as World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade IV-V is still unclear and controversial. In this research, we compared the clinical efficacy and safety between clipping and coiling in the treatment of ruptured poor-grade anterior circulation aneurysms. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of a hospital database. From January 2013 to May 2018, 94 patients who presented with poor-grade anterior circulation aneurysms were included. Preoperative baseline, postprocedure complications, and outcome (3-month and 6-month modified Rankin Scale scores) were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors of short-term (in-hospital, 30-day) mortality. RESULTS A total of 21 (22%) patients died during short-term follow-up; there was a greater short-term mortality in coiling group (38% vs. 15%, P = 0.015). The incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia and intracranial infection in the clipping group was significantly greater than the coiling group: (33% vs. 14%, P = 0.045) and (68% vs. 41%, P = 0.016). However, coiling group had a greater rate of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (21% vs. 6%, P = 0.035). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed cerebral vasospasm (odds ratio [OR], 9.22; P < 0.01), admission WFNS grade V (OR, 15.43; P < 0.01), coiling (OR, 5.92; P = 0.013), and postoperative aneurysm rebleeding (OR, 40.04; P = 0.01) would influence the mortality. CONCLUSIONS Patients with ruptured poor-grade anterior circulation aneurysms who undergo microsurgical clipping seem to have a lower short-term mortality. Cerebral vasospasm, WFNS grade V, and postoperative aneurysm rebleeding are associated with short-term mortality.

Abstract
BackgroundRecent surveys have failed to examine cerebrovascular aneurysm treatment practices among US physicians.ObjectiveTo survey physicians who are actively involved in the care of patients with cerebrovascular aneurysms to determine current aneurysm treatment preferences.MethodsA 25-question SurveyMonkey online survey was designed and distributed electronically to members of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery, Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Combined Cerebrovascular Section.Results211 physicians completed the survey. Most respondents recommend endovascular treatment as the first-line management strategy for most ruptured (78%) and unruptured (71%) aneurysms. Thirty-eight per cent of respondents indicate that they routinely treat all patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage regardless of grade. Most physicians use the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms data for counseling patients on natural history risk (80%); a small minority (11%) always or usually recommend treatment of anterior circulation aneurysms of <5 mm. Two-thirds of respondents continue to recommend clipping for most middle cerebral artery aneurysms, while most (51%) recommend flow diversion for wide-necked internal carotid artery aneurysms. Follow-up imaging schedules are highly variable. Neurosurgeons at academic institutions and those practicing longer were more likely to recommend clipping surgery for aneurysms (p<0.05).ConclusionsThis survey demonstrates considerable variability in patient selection for intracranial aneurysm treatment, preferred treatment strategies, and follow-up imaging schedules among US physicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus regarding the optimal timing for surgery for poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate variation in patient characteristics and outcomes between early and delayed surgery groups. METHODS Poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage was defined as a World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade of IV or V after resuscitation. Early surgery was defined as surgery performed within 72 hours of ictus, and delayed surgery was defined as surgery after 72 hours. Outcomes were assessed by modified Rankin score. The mean time of follow-up was 12.5 ± 3.4 months. RESULTS Of the 118 patients included in the study, 80 (68%) underwent early surgery and 38 (32%) underwent delayed surgery. Patients with brain herniation (P < .001) and a lower Fisher grade (P = .02) more often underwent early surgery. Patients in the early group more often underwent decompressive craniectomy (P < .001). Postoperative complications and length of hospital stay did not differ, and outcomes were similar between the 2 groups. Forty (34%) patients had an excellent outcome (modified Rankin score 0-1). Multivariate analysis showed a slight trend toward an excellent outcome in the early surgery group. Younger age, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade IV after resuscitation, and middle cerebral artery aneurysms were independent predictors of an excellent outcome. CONCLUSION Although patients with brain herniation and a lower Fisher grade were more likely to undergo early surgery, there was a slight trend toward an excellent outcome in the early surgery group. Patients with a younger age, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade IV after resuscitation, and middle cerebral artery aneurysms were more likely to experience an excellent outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An increasing number of patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have received endovascular treatment. Endovascular treatment of poor-grade aSAH, however, is based on single-center retrospective studies, and predictors of long-term outcome have not been well defined. Using results from a multicenter prospective registry, the authors aimed to develop preoperative and postoperative prognostic models to predict poor outcome after endovascular treatment of poor-grade aSAH. METHODS A Multicenter Poor-grade Aneurysm Study (AMPAS) was a prospective and observational registry of consecutive patients with poor-grade aSAH. From October 2010 to March 2012, 366 patients were enrolled in the registry, and 136 patients receiving endovascular treatment were included in this study. Outcome was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 12 months, and poor outcome was defined as an mRS score of 4, 5, or 6. Prognostic models were developed in multivariate logistic regression models. The area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) was used to assess the model's discriminatory ability, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit tests were used to assess the calibration. RESULTS At 12 months, 64 patients (47.0%) had a poor outcome: 9 (6.6%) had an mRS score of 4, 6 (4.4%) had an mRS score of 5, and 49 (36.0%) had died. Univariate analyses showed that older age (p = 0.001), female sex (p = 0.044), lower Glasgow Coma Scale score (p < 0.001), a World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade of V (p < 0.001), higher Fisher grade (p < 0.001), modified Fisher grade (p < 0.001), and wider neck aneurysm (p = 0.026) were associated with a poor outcome. There was a trend toward a worse outcome in patients with anterior communicating artery aneurysms (p = 0.080) and in those with incompletely occluded aneurysms (p = 0.063). After endovascular treatment, the presence of cerebral infarction (p = 0.039), symptomatic vasospasm (p = 0.039), and pneumonia (p = 0.006) were associated with a poor outcome. Multivariate analyses showed that the preoperative prognostic model including age, a WFNS grade of V, modified Fisher grade, and aneurysm neck size had excellent discrimination with an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI 0.80-0.92, p < 0.001), and a postoperative model that included these predictors as well as postoperative pneumonia had excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.87, 95% CI 0.81-0.93, p < 0.001). Both models had good calibration (p = 0.941 and p = 0.653, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Older age, WFNS Grade V, higher modified Fisher grade, wider neck aneurysm, and postoperative pneumonia were independent predictors of poor outcome after endovascular treatment of poor-grade aSAH. The preoperative model had almost the same discrimination as the postoperative model. Endovascular treatment should be carefully considered in patients with poor-grade aSAH with ruptured wide-neck aneurysms. ▪ CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE Type of question: prognostic; study design: retrospective cohort trial; evidence: Class I.

Abstract
IntroductionEndovascular coiling is a valid treatment option for poor-grade ruptured aneurysms. However, little is known about stent-assisted coiling of poor-grade aneurysms.ObjectiveTo compare the safety and efficacy of stent-assisted coiling with coiling alone for poor-grade aneurysms.MethodsUsing multicenter data on poor-grade aneurysms, we performed a retrospective analysis of 131 consecutive patients treated with endovascular coiling within 14 days after ictus. Patients were split into two groups: stent-assisted coiling and coiling alone. Baseline characteristics, immediate angiographic results, perioperative complications, and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.ResultsTwenty-three (17.6%) patients were treated with stent-assisted coiling and 108 (82.4%) with coiling alone. There were no statistically significant differences in patient age, sex, clinical grade, Fisher grade, modified Fisher grade, aneurysm location, and size between the stent-assisted coiling and coiling alone groups. Intraprocedural aneurysm rupture, procedure-related ischemic complication, external ventricular drainage-related hemorrhagic complication, and symptomatic vasospasm did not differ between the two groups. Immediate angiographic results and clinical outcomes at discharge and at 6 and 12 months did not differ between the groups. Aneurysm rebleeding occurred in 4 (17.4%) patients after stent-assisted coiling compared with 2 (1.9%) patients after coiling alone (p<0.007). Multivariate analysis showed that incomplete aneurysm occlusion was independently associated with aneurysm rebleeding (p=0.016), and there was a trend toward aneurysm rebleeding after stent-assisted coiling (p=0.051).ConclusionsStent-assisted coiling of poor-grade aneurysms is feasible and safe compared with coiling alone. However, the hemorrhagic complication and aneurysm rebleeding may not be negligible.

Predictors of good functional outcomes and mortality in patients with severe rebleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2016; 144:28-32. [PMID: 26963087 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2016.02.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2015] [Revised: 02/28/2016] [Accepted: 02/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aneurysmal rebleeding is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH); however, limited data on severity of rebleeding and outcomes after severe rebleeding are available. We aimed to determine predictors of good outcome and mortality after severe rebleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a multicenter poor-grade aneurysm study, 60 patients with severe rebleeding, defined as new hemorrhage with poor clinical condition caused by rebleeding, were identified. Good functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) of ≤2, and mortality was defined as a mRS of 6. Multivariate logistic analyses were used to determine predictors of good outcome and mortality. RESULTS Of the 58 patients included in this report, 24 (41.3%) patients experienced rebleeding within 24h after ictus. 42 (72.4%) patients had died at 12 months. The rate of good outcome increased from 5.2% at discharge to 13.8% at 6 months and 19.0% at 12 months. In multivariate analysis, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade IV after rebleeding (P=0.007) and aggressive treatment (P=0.039) were independently associated with good outcome. A higher modified Fisher grade before rebledding (P=0.040), larger aneurysms (P=0.005), and lower Glasgow coma score after rebleeding (P=0.003) were independently associated with increased mortality. CONCLUSIONS A better clinical condition after rebleeding were independently associated with good outcome and inversely associated with morality after severe rebleeding. Despite high mortality of rebleeding, patients with WFNS grade IV treated with aggressive treatment were more likely to have good outcomes regardless of their condition before rebleeding.

Abstract
Patient outcomes following grade V subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) have been dismal, although they may have improved following recent technological advances in endovascular treatment (EVT). A single-centre, retrospective study was conducted to evaluate whether outcomes have improved from 2000 to 2014 for patients with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade V SAH. Coiling has been the preferred first-line treatment for grade V SAH patients in our institution since 2000. Patients who underwent EVT (n=115) were grouped on the basis of their hospital admission year: 2000-2004 (n=44), 2005-2009 (n=37) and 2010-2014 (n=34). Patient demographics, outcomes and in-hospital mortality rates were compared between the groups. Patient outcomes at discharge were evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), with GOS scores of 4-5 defined as favourable outcomes. There were no significant intergroup differences in patient demographics. In addition, there were no significant differences in the frequencies of favourable outcomes (14% in 2000-2004, 16% in 2005-2009 and 26% in 2010-2014). Mortality rates were 52% in 2000-2004, 43% in 2005-2009 and 24% in 2010-2014, with a significantly lower mortality rate in 2010-2014 than in 2000-2004 (p=0.01). Both perioperative rebleeding and delayed cerebral ischaemia decreased over time; however, multivariate regression analysis showed that the former contributed more to the decrease in mortality. Age was the only variable associated with favourable outcomes. The results of this study indicate that EVT is an appropriate therapeutic option for grade V SAH patients. However, multi-centre, prospective trials are required to provide evidence-based verification of the efficacy of EVT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular coiling is an alternative to surgical clipping for ruptured intracranial aneurysms. However, no large multicenter prospective study has compared coiling and clipping in patients with poor-grade ruptured aneurysms. We aimed to determine differences in postoperative complications and clinical outcome between the 2 treatments in this group of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Multicenter Poor-Grade Aneurysm Study was a prospective, multicenter, observational registry of consecutive patients who presented with poor-grade ruptured aneurysms. Three hundred sixty-six patients were enrolled from October 2010 to March 2012. "Poor-grade aneurysm" was defined as a World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade of IV or V at the time of aneurysm treatment. Two hundred sixty-two patients received aneurysm treatment within 21 days and were included. Clinical outcomes were assessed at discharge and at 6 and 12 months by the modified Rankin Scale. RESULTS One hundred thirty-three (50.8%) patients underwent endovascular coiling. Unadjusted analysis showed that the outcome rate (mRS 0-1 or mRS 0-2) at 6 and 12 months in patients undergoing coiling was higher than that in patients undergoing clipping. In adjusted analyses, there was no statistically significant difference in outcomes at 6 and 12 months between the 2 groups. The risk of radiologic hydrocephalus was higher in patients treated with coiling than that in those treated with clipping (adjusted OR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.13-10.01; P = .030). CONCLUSIONS The long-term outcome in selected patients was similar between endovascular coiling and clipping for poor-grade ruptured aneurysms. The risk of radiologic hydrocephalus was higher after endovascular treatment of poor-grade aneurysms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early surgical treatment has been proposed to improve outcomes of selected patients with poor-grade ruptured intracranial aneurysms. We performed a multicenter retrospective analysis to identify complications and outcomes after early surgery. METHODS We analyzed data from the two cohorts of patients with poor-grade ruptured aneurysms. Poor-grade aneurysm was defined as a World Federation of Neurosurgical Society (WFNS) grade of IV or V after resuscitation. Early surgery was defined as surgery performed within 72 h after poor-grade condition. RESULTS Of the 144 patients who underwent surgical treatment for poor-grade aneurysm, 80 underwent early surgery and were included in this report. Forty-one (51%) patients presented with a WFNS grade of IV and 39 (49%) presented with a WFNS grade of V. Cerebral infarction occurred in 17 (21%) patients and was the most common complication except for pneumonia. No patients had a good outcome after postoperative aneurysm rebleeding. At follow-up (mean 12.6 months), 37 (46%) patients had a good outcome after early surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that a WFNS grade of V, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage, brain herniation were independent predictors of poor outcome after early surgery. Patients with WFNS grade V more often had a poor outcome after postoperative cerebral infarction, rebleeding or symptomatic vasospasm. CONCLUSIONS Patients with a WFNS grade of V, intraventricular hemorrhage, brain herniation were more likely to have a poor outcome after early surgery. Postoperative complications, including rebleeding and cerebral infraction, should be prevented and treated aggressively to maximize the chance of good outcome in poor-grade patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine factors and outcomes associated with ultra-early surgery for poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). DESIGN A multicentre retrospective analysis, observational study. SETTING High-volume teaching hospitals (more than 150 aSAH cases per year). PARTICIPANTS 118 patients with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grades IV and V underwent surgical treatment. Ultra-early surgery was defined as surgery performed within 24 h of aSAH, and delayed surgery as surgery performed after 24 h. Outcome was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The mean time of follow-up was 12.5±3.4 months (range 6-28 months). RESULTS 47 (40%) patients underwent ultra-early surgery, and 71 (60%) patients underwent delayed surgery. Patients with WFNS grade V (p=0.011) and brain herniation (p=0.004) more often underwent ultra-early surgery. Postoperative complications were similar in ultra-early and delayed surgery groups. Adjusted multivariate analysis showed the outcomes were similar between the two groups. Multivariate analysis of predictors of poor outcome, ultraearly surgery was not an independent predictor of poor outcome, while advanced age, postresuscitation WFNS V grade, intraventricular haemorrhage, brain herniation and non-middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms were associated with poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS Although patients with WFNS grade V and brain herniation more often undergo ultra-early surgery, postoperative complications and outcomes in selected patients were similar in the two groups. Patients of younger age, WFNS grade IV, absence of intraventricular haemorrhage, absence of brain herniation and MCA aneurysms are more likely to have a good outcome. Ultra-early surgery could improve outcomes in carefully selected patients with poor-grade aSAH.
