Outcomes following acute poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid bleed - Is early definitive treatment better than delayed management?

Background/objective: Patients with poor-grade subarachnoid bleed (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grades 4-5) often improve their neurocognitive function months after their ictus. However, it is essential to explore the timing of intervention and its impact on long-term outcome. We compared the long-term outcomes between immediate management within 24 h and delayed management after 24 h in patients following poor-grade subarachnoid bleed.
