Key result
Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias after subarachnoid hemorrhage were independently associated with an increased risk of death (adjusted OR 3.524) and poor neurological outcome.

Clinically significant arrhythmias after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are independently associated with increased mortality and poor neurological outcomes.
Jeong et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (n=122). Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia vs. No clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia was evaluated on Death (adjusted OR 3.524, 95% CI 1.229-10.100, p=0.019). Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias after subarachnoid hemorrhage were independently associated with an increased risk of death (adjusted OR 3.524) and poor neurological outcome.
