The role of Glucose/Potassium Ratio and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio in the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Antecedents And Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Traditional factors strongly associated with poor outcome are neurological condition and the amount of bleeding. Inflammation is considered a relevant mechanism of brain injury after aSAH.

The impact of early surgery on mortality and functional recovery in older adults with traumatic intracranial lesions: a propensity score-based analysis.

Background: There is skepticism about the benefit of surgery in elderly patients affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to the negative effect of age on the outcome and surgical complications. However, there are few studies that have investigated differences in patient's outcome between surgically and conservatively managed patients after adjusting for the imbalance in preinjury characteristics and clinical and radiological features. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early surgery on mortality and functional recovery in a cohort of older adults with acute traumatic intracranial lesions after adjustment by Propensity Score (PS) matching.
