Filter by:Prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is scarce, indeed almost half patients die or become severely disable after SAH. Outcome is related to the severity of the initial bleeding and delayed cerebral infarction (DCI). Infection and more precisely pneumonia have been associated with poor outcome in SAH. However, the interaction between the two pathologic events remains unclear. Therefore, we hypothesized that DCI may be associated to pneumonia in SAH patients. Thus the aim of the study is to analyze the association between delayed cerebral infarction and pneumonia in patients with SAH. Retrospective, observational, monocentric cohort study, including patient admitted in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit or Surgical Intensive Care Unit in the University Hospital of Brest (France) for non-traumatic SAH. Primary outcome is diagnosis of DCI on CT scan or MRI 3 months after SAH. Multivariate analysis is used to identify factors independently associated with DCI. We plan to include between 200 and 250 patients in the analysis.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the extravasation of blood into the subarachnoid space from traumatic or nontraumatic origin. There is a paucity of data on the burden of SAH in African countries. In this study, we analyzed data from patients in the largest neurovascular center in Senegal to determine the sex- and age-adjusted burden of SAH in Senegal.
Investigate the role of inflammasome and blood coagulation response in human cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
A 1-year analysis of global selected stroke metric data will be conducted comparing the results during the Covid-19 pandemic to the pre-pandemic period. In most countries, this will correspond to March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021. In some countries, the pandemic period would be adjusted for onset of case surge (i.e. China pandemic start date would begin earlier, i.e. January 2020). The specific metrics that will be analyzed include: 1. ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIA) hospitalizations 2. intracranial hemorrhage hospitalizations 3. cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) hospitalizations (with or without thrombocytopenia) 4. CVT in-hospital mortality 4) aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage hospitalizations 5) mechanical thrombectomy 6) intravenous thrombolysis 7) ruptured aneurysm endovascular coiling 8) ruptured aneurysm clipping. 9) aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admissions 10) SAH in-hospital mortality 11) SAH presentation by Hunt Hess Grade
Transient focal neurological episode (TFNE) is the most frequent presenting symptom of convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage (cSAH) in elderly patients with non-traumatic cSAH with suspected, possible or probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The aim of our study was to analyse in detail clinical and MRI characteristics in these patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study analysing baseline, acute clinical symptom (TFNE and headache), and MRI characteristics (acute cSAH and chronic CAA features) of consecutive elderly (≥55 years) patients, recruited and registered in the stroke database, between june 2008 and october 2020 of two centres (Nîmes and Montpellier University Hospital, France), presenting with cSAH with suspected, possible, or probable CAA.
Despite the efforts made in its treatment, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage continues to induce high mortality and morbidity rates. Today there are treatment protocols in all hospitals. The vast majority prefer, whenever possible, the endovascular route, given its lesser aggressiveness and morbidity. Although embolization prevents aneurysm' rebleeding, it does remove the subarachnoid blood clot. Therefore, it does not modify the evolution, incidence and severity of vasospasm. The idea is to carry out a 10-year retrospective study classifying patients into five groups based on the type of treatment received, analyzing the results' differences. The aim is to improve what is done as much as possible and to be able to propose potential areas for improvement. Besides, this study will be the basis of a future prospective study, prepared without the current one's biases and errors.
Temporary hypercapnia leads to a reproducible increase of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain tissue oxygenation (StiO2) as shown in a previous study (Trial-Identification: NCT01799525). The aim of this study now was to measure the course of carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) reactivity after prolonged hypercapnia, and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of graded hypercapnia.
Patients admitted to Haukeland University Hospital with either UIA or aSAH underwent a measurement of bioelectrical impedance and body mass composition using InBody 10. Lipids and lipoproteins were collected from plasma. 60 patients in total were included in the study.
The progression of brain lesions after severe head trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage results from extra cranial aggression which is well controlled in intensive care and intracranial aggression which is less well known and therefore less well managed. The detection of events that can generate new lesions from intracranial monitoring is limited and late once the lesions are irreversible. Invasive cortical depolarizations (SD) can be observed using cortical electrodes and an acquisition system having access to the usually filtered DC signal (0 to 1 Hz). SD are observed at the onset of a new attack of the cortex and spread widely away from the site of aggression. During their propagation, SD generate a significant metabolic demand, and can cause ischemic injury, particularly after meningeal or post-traumatic hemorrhage. SDs are therefore both a marker of new lesion and a mechanism of progression of primary lesions. Yet this type of monitoring is only performed in some expert centers around the world. The analysis of the feasibility and safety of the placement of cortical electrodes in this indication is therefore an essential step to study the clinical benefit of individualized management on the basis of this monitoring.
Acute hydrocephalus is a common complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Early and emergency insertion of external ventricular drain (EVD) is standard treatment of acute post-SAH hydrocephalus. According to the high risk of infection associated with EVD, the study evaluates the outcome of early EVD conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in poor-grade SAH patients.
