Abstract

|
Object: We designed this study to bring the outcome and the outcome predictors of Hunt-Hess grade III patients to light, and to be aid in determining treatment protocol of such a intermediate group.
Methods: All patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage who visited our hospital between January 1998 and December 2004, were reviewed. We selected 72 Hunt-Hess grade III aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients for detailed review. 54 operations and 10 endovacular procedures were performed. The outcome of the patients were evaluated with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Through univariate and multivariate analysis, several clinical and operative factors were evaluated to determine the significance for the outcome.
Result: Overall 58 patients were in good outcome group (GOS 4 or 5). overall 6-month mortality was 5.6%. Age, presence of intracerabral hemorrhage(ICH) on the initial computed tomography (CT) scan, and vasospasm were independently important in determining outcome.
Conclusion: In the Hunt-Hess grade III aneurysmal SAH patient, age, presence of ICH on intial CT scan vasospasm have independent statistical significance to the outcome. More aggressive treatment of vasospasm can improve the outcome.
