To characterize the clinical course, secondary complications, and short- and long-term outcomes following incident spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Population-based cohort study of 171 patients experiencing incident subarachnoid hemorrhage over a 2-year period in King County, Washington.
Evaluated clinical progression, head CT scans, surgical interventions, and survival rates at 1 month and 1 year post-hemorrhage.
Survival reached 68% at 1 month and 62% at 1 year; at 1 month, roughly one-third of patients died, one-third had neurologic deficits, and one-third achieved a good recovery.
Among 166 hospitalized patients, 103 underwent aneurysm surgery, 40 developed acute hydrocephalus, 32 developed symptomatic vasospasm, and 30 experienced re-bleeding.
Independent predictors of good recovery at 1 month included younger age, higher admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, and absence of blood on initial head CT.
