Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Some studies have shown that female patients had a poorer prognosis after endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysm than male patients. However, data have been sparse regarding differences in the periprocedural and perioperative complication rate with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry, a database of 9 institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The study presented intracranial aneurysms after microsurgical and/or endovascular treatment from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. The primary outcome was incidence of periprocedural cerebral infarction. Secondary outcomes were periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage, periprocedural mortality, perioperative vasospasm, and functional outcome at 90 days after procedure. RESULTS Among 3342 patients with aneurysm, 2447 were female and 857 were male, and the mean age of female and male patients was 59.6 and 57.1 years, respectively. Current smoker, family history of aneurysm, and ruptured aneurysm were observed in 23.5% vs 35.7 %, 10.8 % vs 5.7%, and 28.2% vs 40.5% of female and male patients, respectively. In female patients, internal carotid artery aneurysms were more commonly observed (31.1% vs 17.3%); however, anterior cerebral artery aneurysms were less commonly observed (18.5% vs 33.8%) compared with male patients. Periprocedural cerebral infarction rate was lower in female than male patients (2.4% vs 4.4%; P = .002). The adjusted odds ratio of primary outcome of female to male patients was 0.72 (95% CI, 0.46-1.12). Incidence of periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage and periprocedural mortality and perioperative symptomatic vasospasm and functional outcome was similar in both groups. In subgroup analysis, periprocedural cerebral infarction due to microsurgical treatment occurred frequently in male patients while incidence in endovascular treatment was similar in both groups (interaction P = .005). CONCLUSION This large multicenter registry of patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm treatment found that female patients were not at increased risk of perioperative complications.

A visualized MAC nomogram online predicts the risk of three-month mortality in Chinese elderly aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing endovascular coiling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is an aggressive disease with higher mortality rate in the elderly population. Unfortunately, the previous models for predicting clinical prognosis are still not accurate enough. Therefore, we aimed to construct and validate a visualized nomogram model to predict online the 3-month mortality in elderly aSAH patients undergoing endovascular coiling. METHOD We conducted a retrospective analysis of 209 elderly aSAH patients at People's Hospital of Hunan Province, China. A nomogram was developed based on multivariate logistic regression and forward stepwise regression analysis, then validated using the bootstrap validation method (n = 1000). In addition, the performance of the nomogram was evaluated by various indicators to prove its clinical value. RESULT Morbid pupillary reflex, age, and using a breathing machine were independent predictors of 3-month mortality. The AUC of the nomogram was 0.901 (95% CI: 0.853-0.950), and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed good calibration of the nomogram (p = 0.4328). Besides, the bootstrap validation method internally validated the nomogram with an area under the curve of the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) of 0.896 (95% CI: 0.846-0.945). Decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve (CIC) indicated the nomogram's excellent clinical utility and applicability. CONCLUSION An easily applied visualized nomogram model named MAC (morbid pupillary reflex-age-breathing machine) based on three accessible factors has been successfully developed. The MAC nomogram is an accurate and complementary tool to support individualized decision-making and emphasizes that patients with higher risk of mortality may require closer monitoring. Furthermore, a web-based online version of the risk calculator would greatly contribute to the spread of the model in this field.

Long-term outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A prospective observational cohort study. Acta Neurol Scand 2022; 146:525-536. [PMID: 35852005 PMCID: PMC9796482 DOI: 10.1111/ane.13674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The survival rates for patients affected by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have increased in recent years; however, many patients continue to develop cognitive dysfunctions that affect their quality of life. The commonly used outcome measures often fail to identify these cognitive dysfunctions. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes at 1 and 3 years after aSAH to assess changes over time and relate outcomes to patient characteristics and events during the acute phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective observational study included patients that experienced aSAH. Patients were assessed according to the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, Mayo-Portland Adaptability inventory-4, and Mental Fatigue scale. RESULTS Patients were assessed after 1 year (n = 62) and 3 years (n = 54). At 3 years, the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale score improved in 15% and worsened in 12% of the patients. Mental fatigue was observed in 57% of the patients at 1 year. Patients <60 years of age at the time of aSAH had more self-assessed problems, including pain/headache (p < .01), than patients >60 years of age. Patients with delayed cerebral ischemia during the acute phase reported more dissatisfaction at 3 years, whereas no significant result was seen at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive dysfunction, especially mental fatigue, is common in patients with aSAH, which affects quality of life and recovery. Patient outcome is a dynamic process developing throughout years after aSAH, involving both improvement and deterioration. This study indicates the importance of longer follow-up periods with broad outcome assessments.

Changes in Short-Term Outcomes After Discharge in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study. World Neurosurg 2022; 164:e1214-e1225. [PMID: 35688375 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.05.140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to clarify the prevalence of and factors associated with changes in patients' outcomes between discharge and 3 months after the onset of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Additionally, the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and modified WFNS (mWFNS) scales were compared. METHODS The data of curatively treated patients with aSAH, collected prospectively in the mWFNS scale study between January 2010 and December 2012, were analyzed retrospectively. The improvement or decline in the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores between discharge and 3 months after onset was determined. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors, such as age and WFNS and mWFNS grades, associated with changes in the outcome. RESULTS The mRS scores improved in 28.3% and declined in 2.5% of the patients. WFNS and mWFNS grades Ⅱ-V on admission were significantly associated with improved mRS scores at 3 months after onset. Older age (age: 65-74 years vs. age <65 years, odds ratio: 6.59, 95% confidence interval: 1.28-34.01; age ≥75 years vs. age <65 years, odds ratio: 17.67, 95% confidence interval: 2.11-148.26) and WFNS grade III were significantly associated with a decline in mRS scores at 3 months after onset. CONCLUSIONS The optimal timing for postdischarge assessment of outcomes may be at 3 months after onset, especially in older patients with aSAH. The mWFNS scale is presumed to more accurately assess the outcomes of patients with aSAH than the WFNS scale, as demonstrated in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early brain injury may be a more significant contributor to poor outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) than vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. However, studying this process has been hampered by lack of a means of quantifying the spectrum of injury. Global cerebral edema (GCE) is the most widely accepted manifestation of early brain injury but is currently assessed only through subjective, qualitative or semi-quantitative means. Selective sulcal volume (SSV), the CSF volume above the lateral ventricles, has been proposed as a quantitative biomarker of GCE, but is time-consuming to measure manually. Here we implement an automated algorithm to extract SSV and evaluate the age-dependent relationship of reduced SSV on early outcomes after aSAH. METHODS We selected all adults with aSAH admitted to a single institution with imaging within 72 hours of ictus. Scans were assessed for qualitative presence of GCE. SSV was automatically segmented from serial CTs using a deep learning-based approach. Early SSV was the lowest SSV from all early scans. Modified Rankin Scale score of 4 to 6 at hospital discharge was classified as a poor outcome. RESULTS Two hundred forty-four patients with aSAH were included. Sixty-five (27%) had GCE on admission while 24 developed it subsequently within 72 hours. Median SSV on admission was 10.7 mL but frequently decreased, with minimum early SSV being 3.0 mL (interquartile range, 0.3-11.9). Early SSV below 5 mL was highly predictive of qualitative GCE (area under receiver-operating-characteristic curve, 0.90). Reduced early SSV was an independent predictor of poor outcome, with a stronger effect in younger patients. CONCLUSIONS Automated assessment of SSV provides an objective biomarker of GCE that can be leveraged to quantify early brain injury and dissect its impact on outcomes after aSAH. Such quantitative analysis suggests that GCE may be more impactful to younger patients with SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydrocephalus is a common complication in aneurysmal rupture subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). As both the bone and arachnoid trabeculae are composed of type 1 collagen, we identified the possible relationship between bone mineral density and ventriculomegaly and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (SDHC) development after aneurysmal rupture SAH in younger patients. METHODS We measured frontal skull Hounsfield unit (HU) values on brain computed tomography upon admission, and mean frontal skull HU values were used instead of T-score value. Hazard ratios were calculated using Cox regression analysis to identify whether osteoporotic condition is an independent predictor for ventriculomegaly and SDHC after surgical clipping for SAH in younger patients. RESULTS Altogether, 412 patients (≤65 years) who underwent surgical clipping for primary spontaneous SAH from a ruptured aneurysm were enrolled in this 11-year analysis in 2 hospitals. We observed that the first tertile group of skull HU was an independent predictor of SDHC after SAH compared with the third tertile of skull HU values (hazard ratio, 2.55 [95% CI, 1.25-5.20]; P=0.010). There were no significant interactions between age and skull HU with respect to ventriculomegaly and SDHC in younger patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests a relationship between possible osteoporotic conditions and ventriculomegaly and SDHC development after SAH in younger patients. Our findings may be useful in predicting hydrocephalus in young SAH patients using a convenient method of measuring skull HU value on brain computed tomography upon admission.

Abstract
Background This observational study was performed to show the impact of complications and interventions during neurocritical care on the outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods We analyzed 203 cases treated for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, which were classified regarding clinical outcome after one year according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). We reviewed the data with reference to the occurrence of typical complications and interventions in neurocritical care units. Results Decompressive craniectomy (odds ratio 21.77 / 6.17 ; p < 0.0001 / p = 0.013), sepsis (odds ratio 14.67 / 6.08 ; p = 0.037 / 0.033) and hydrocephalus (odds ratio 3.71 / 6.46 ; p = 0.010 / 0.00095) were significant predictors for poor outcome and death after one year beside “World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies” (WFNS) grade (odds ratio 3.86 / 4.67 ; p < 0.0001 / p < 0.0001) and age (odds ratio 1.06 / 1.10 ; p = 0.0030 / p < 0.0001) in our multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression model). Conclusions In summary, decompressive craniectomy, sepsis and hydrocephalus significantly influence the outcome and occurrence of death after aneurysmal SAH.
