VPS dependency after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and influence of admission hyperglycaemia.

Introduction: Hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a common complication which may lead to insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). Our aim is to evaluate a possible influence of specific clinical and biochemical factors on VPS dependency with special emphasis on hyperglycaemia on admission.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of a monocentric database of aSAH patients.

Duration between aneurysm rupture and treatment and its association with outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Timely treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is key to prevent further rupture and poor outcome. We evaluated complications and outcome adjusting for time from haemorrhage to treatment. Retrospective analysis of aSAH patients admitted between 2006 and 2020.

Treatment during cerebral vasospasm phase-complication association and outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Background: Aneurysm treatment during cerebral vasospasm (CVS) phase is frequently considered as particularly dangerous, mainly because of the risk of cerebral infarct.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH)-specific complications and functional outcome in patients treated during CVS phase.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed a large, retro- and prospectively collected database of aSAH patients admitted to our department between March 2006 and March 2020.
