Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is often complicated by cerebral vasospasm (CVS) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), which significantly impact patient outcomes. The study aimed to investigate the predictive value of systemic serum biomarker levels for CVS and DCI following aSAH. ⋯ Our findings suggest that admission systemic CRP levels can serve as a more valuable predictor for developing CVS than DCI following aSAH. Incorporating CRP into clinical assessments may aid in risk stratification and early intervention strategies for patients at high risk of these complications.

In poor-grade aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage (PaSAH), the use of external ventricular drainage (EVD) may be closely related to the occurrence of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (SDHC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of EVD on SDHC and prognosis after microsurgically clipping patients with PaSAH. ⋯ EVD implantation is an independent risk factor for SDHC after PaSAH, and a large drainage volume in the first 3 days after EVD implantation is an independent risk factor for SDHC after PaSAH. The drainage volume on the first day after surgery is the best predictor of SDHC after PaSAH. SDHC after PaSAH is the strongest independent risk factor for poor prognosis and prolongs hospital stay.

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic yield of follow-up investigations in aneurysm-negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. ⋯ The results of this study support the use of repeat DSA in patients with NPM-SAH; however, routine repeat DSA may not be indicated in PM-SAH patients. The routine use of MRI remains controversial.

Cerebral infarction remains an important cause of death or disability in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The prevalence, trends, and outcomes of cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal SAH at a national level are not known. ⋯ Cerebral infarction was seen in 54% of the patients with a trend toward an increase in the affected proportion of patients with aneurysmal SAH. Patients with cerebral infarction had higher rates of adverse outcomes and required higher resources during hospitalization.
