With a subarachnoid haemorrhage, the outcome is never enough
1
Abstract
Introduction. In the current edition, Nastasovic et al. present the results of a prospective study on patients with aneurysm subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) regarding the association of selected variables and outcomes three months after the incident.
Clinical reflections. The independent predicting factors of an unfavourable aneurysm SAH outcome are aneurysm re-rupture, high systolic blood pressure (SBP), and increased heart rate.
Clinical implications. The article findings confirm easily monitored parameters that could be potentially useful in clinical approaches to this critical illness.
