Background: The optimal duration of external ventricular drain (EVD) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is debatable. We sought to determine the association of EVD duration and output with outcomes, including cerebral infarct.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with aSAH who were admitted to an academic center from 2016 to 2023.
Background: Socioeconomic status affects outcomes in cerebrovascular disease, although its role in the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments (WLST) remains uncertain. We aim to examine the impact of socioeconomic factors on outcomes including WLST in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of a cohort of consecutive patients with aSAH who were admitted to an academic center from 2016 to 2023.
Background: Cerebral vasospasm is a well-known complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and occurs more commonly in younger patients. We hypothesized that intracranial atherosclerosis, which is seen predominantly in older patients, affects vasospasm risk. We sought to determine association between intracranial atherosclerosis burden with vasospasm and outcomes in aSAH.

This study seeks to compare the effects of SBP and mean arterial pressure (MAP) on rebleeding and functional outcomes in aSAH patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with aSAH admitted to an academic center in 2016-2023.
