Key result
Patient age was not significantly associated with angiographic vasospasm (45%), delayed ischemic neurological deficits (19%), or abnormal TCD measurements (81%) after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Why the study?
Does patient age predict angiographic vasospasm, delayed ischemic neurological deficits, or abnormal transcranial Doppler measurements in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Population
Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (data from the CONSCIOUS-1 study)
Design
Cohort

Age should not guide vasospasm risk stratification after SAH; leaves open validation of other predictors in prospective studies.

Does patient age predict angiographic vasospasm, delayed ischemic neurological deficits, or abnormal transcranial Doppler measurements in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Patient age is not a significant independent predictor of cerebral vasospasm or delayed ischemic neurological deficits following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Ryttlefors et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Age vs. Different age groups (continuous, dichotomized at 65 years, and categorized by decade) was evaluated on Angiographic vasospasm, delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DINDs), and abnormal transcranial Doppler (TCD) measurements. Patient age was not significantly associated with angiographic vasospasm (45%), delayed ischemic neurological deficits (19%), or abnormal TCD measurements (81%) after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
