Serum LDH levels may predict poor neurological outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Introduction: Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are often elevated in cardiovascular diseases. Their prognostic role after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains poorly evaluated.

Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study of patients with non-traumatic SAH admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of an University Hospital from 2007 to 2022.

Phosphatase alkaline levels are not associated with poor outcomes in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients.

Introduction: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels are often elevated in cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease. Their prognostic role after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains to be elucidated.

Methods: We performed a retrospective single center study of patients with non-traumatic SAH admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Erasme Hospital (Brussels, Belgium) from 2006 to 2019.

Brain tissue oxygenation guided therapy and outcome in non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Brain hypoxia can occur after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), even when levels of intracranial pressure (ICP) remain normal. Brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO) can be measured as a part of a neurological multimodal neuromonitoring. Low PbtO has been associated with poor neurologic recovery.

Time course of outcome in poor grade subarachnoid hemorrhage patients: a longitudinal retrospective study.

Background: Neurological outcome and mortality of patients suffering from poor grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may have changed over time. Several factors, including patients' characteristics, the presence of hydrocephalus and intraparenchymal hematoma, might also contribute to this effect. The aim of this study was to assess the temporal changes in mortality and neurologic outcome in SAH patients and identify their predictors.

The Prognostic Role of Lactate Concentrations after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Blood lactate concentrations are often used to assess global tissue perfusion in critically ill patients; however, there are scarce data on lactate concentrations after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We aimed to assess the prognostic role of serial blood lactate measurements on hospital mortality and neurological outcomes at 3 months after SAH. We reviewed all SAH patients admitted to the intensive care unit from 2007 to 2019 and recorded the highest daily arterial lactate concentration for the first 6 days.
