Article Synopsis
- * An international Delphi study involving 175 participants, mostly those with lived experience of aSAH, was conducted to identify and prioritize health domains that are important to patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and researchers.
- * From the study, 32 key health domains were identified, with top priorities being cognition, aneurysm treatment, and overall quality of life, revealing a gap between stakeholder priorities and current research outcomes; the authors plan to create a standardized set of outcomes for future aSAH
Background: Compared to younger age, older age (≥ 65 yr) is associated with worse outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We sought to describe the association of older age with in-hospital death and aggressiveness of intervention.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult (age ≥ 16 yr) patients with severe TBI admitted to a single academic tertiary care neurotrauma centre between January 2014 and December 2015.
Background And Objectives: There is significant heterogeneity in the reporting of outcome measures in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) research. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) is the most commonly reported functional outcome measure. The mRS focuses on physical disability; however, many aSAH survivors experience sequalae in other domains, and the mRS may therefore not capture outcomes important to aSAH survivors.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional q-sort survey with participants from three key stakeholder groups. Potential outcomes were identified from interviews and focus groups.
Purpose: Our primary objective was to describe consent models used in Canadian-led adult and pediatric intensive care unit (ICU/PICU) randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our secondary objectives were to determine the consent rate of ICU/PICU RCTs that did and did not use an alternate consent model to describe consent procedures.
Source: Using scoping review methodology, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases (from 1998 to June 2019) for trials published in English or French.
Objectives: The objective of the study is to externally validate three primary subarachnoid hemorrhage (pSAH) identification models.
Study Design And Setting: We evaluated three models that identify pSAH using recursive partitioning (A), logistic regression (B), and a prevalence-adjusted logistic regression(C), respectively. Blinded chart review and/or linkage to existing registries determined pSAH status.
