Background: Numerous studies have shown that continuous lumbar drainage (LD) reduces spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-related complications, decreasing the incidence of cerebral vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia , and hydrocephalus in patients treated with coiling or clipping, but performing LD before securing the aneurysm is still controversial. Our hospital has been implementing prompt LD for several years, and we present the results in this paper.
Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2020, a total of 438 patients with SAH were included in this retrospective study.
A prospective observational cohort study investigated the prevalence of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) among non-COVID-19 ICU survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adults who had been admitted to the ICU for more than 24 h were enrolled, and followed-up at 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge. PICS (mental health, cognitive, and physical domains) was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Posttraumatic Diagnosis Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Korean Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale.

Methods: From a prospective, nationwide stroke registry, all patients with LVO and baseline NIHSS <6 presenting within 24 h from the time last known well (LKW) were included. Early neurological deterioration (END) developed before EVT was prospectively collected as an increasing total NIHSS score ≥2 or any worsening of the NIHSS consciousness or motor subscores during hospitalization not related to EVT.
Background: Person-centred care has the potential to improve the patient experience in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the relationship between person-centred care perceived by critically ill patients and their ICU experience has yet to be determined.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between person-centred care and the ICU experience of critically ill patients.
Background And Purpose: The importance of the specialized management of neurocritical patients is being increasingly recognized. We evaluated the impact of neurointensivist comanagement on the clinical outcomes (particularly the mortality rate) of neurocritical patients admitted to a semiclosed neurocritical-care unit (NCU).
Methods: We retrospectively included neurocritical patients admitted to the NCU between March 2015 and February 2018.
Background And Objective: Symptomatic basilar artery stenosis (BAS) is associated with high risk of ischemic stroke recurrence. We aimed to investigate whether statin therapy might prevent the progression of symptomatic BAS and stroke recurrence.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with acute ischemia with symptomatic BAS, which was assessed using magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) imaging on admission day, and 1 year later (or the day of the clinical event).
Background: Admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) specialized for brain and spine injury patients is associated with improved outcome. We investigated the effects of the first dedicated, combined neurological and neurosurgical ICU (NeuroICU) in Korea on patient outcomes.
Methods: The first dedicated NeuroICU in Korea was established in March 2013.
Background And Purpose: The use of decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) for the treatment of malignant cerebral edema can decrease mortality rates. However, this benefit is not sufficient to justify its use in elderly patients. We investigated the effects of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on safety, feasibility, and functional outcomes in elderly patients with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts.

Little is known about the prognostic factors associated with poor outcome following acute LMI. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with poor long-term outcome after acute LMI, based on experiences at a single center over 11 years.

Recent studies have suggested that the reduction of AD risk with statin was achieved by decreased amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein.
Methods: We used mitochondrial transgenic neuronal cell (cybrid) models to investigate changes in the levels of intracellular hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE) in the presence of simvastatin.
Background: Acute carotid-T occlusion results in both low recanalization rates and poor outcomes. We investigated clinical outcomes and recanalization in a rare case of thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: A consecutive series of patients with acute carotid-T occlusion who were treated with either bridging intravenous (IV) plus intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis or IA alone were analyzed.
