Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the prognostic significance of the albumin/fibrinogen ratio (AFR) and the admission Hunt-Hess (HH) score in predicting outcomes for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
  • Researchers analyzed data from 112 aSAH patients to identify independent risk factors affecting their 6-month outcomes.
  • Results indicate that a low AFR, combined with the HH score, enhances the prediction of unfavorable outcomes compared to using each measure individually.
