RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Incidence, clinical course, and fatality of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are evolving, with prevalence of risk factors diminishing, implementation of early detection programs and strategies for priority aneurysm exclusion, technical refinement towards less invasive procedures, and improvements in neurocritical care. Modern epidemiological and prognostic data are lacking, especially in southern European and Mediterranean populations. METHODS: A prospective multicentre observational study on SAH was held in Catalonia, Northeast Spain, 2020-2022 (HSACat project). All public tertiary hospitals participated in a common registry. Primary endpoints were functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale, mRS) and mortality at 12-months. Secondary aims included epidemiological data, flux of patients between referral and tertiary hospitals, diagnostic and treatment delays, and in-hospital complications. RESULTS: Of 550 SAH cases reported in Catalonia (2020-2022), 474 had a complete registry for analysis. Death rate was 20.6% during hospital admission and 26.9% at one year. Good functional outcome (mRS 0-2) was observed in 63.4%, 70.1% and 76.0% at 3, 6 and 12 months. Age at presentation was lower in men, smokers, and hypertensives (p<0.05). The female:male ratio was 3:2, except in non-aneurysmal group. Time from onset to tertiary-hospital admission was longer in rural than metropolitan zones (7.0h vs 4.7h, p<0.01). Aneurysm occlusion in the first 72h was achieved in 83.3%; mainly endovascularly (77.5%) than microsurgically (19.3%). CONCLUSION: Even when most patients received timely aneurysmal treatment, rates of case fatality are considerably high. Data provided by the HSAcat project may have public health repercussions and be used to guide prevention programs and screening strategies.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Seizures are a common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in both acute and late stages: 10-20 % acute symptomatic seizures, 12-25 % epilepsy rate at five years. Our aim was to identify early electroencephalogram (EEG) and computed tomography (CT) findings that could predict long-term epilepsy after SAH. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a multicenter, retrospective, longitudinal study of adult patients with aneurysmal SAH admitted to two tertiary care hospitals between January 2011 to December 2022. Routine 30-minute EEG recording was performed in all subjects during admission period. Exclusion criteria were the presence of prior structural brain lesions and/or known epilepsy. We documented the presence of SAH-related cortical involvement in brain CT and focal electrographic abnormalities (epileptiform and non-epileptiform). Post-SAH epilepsy was defined as the occurrence of remote unprovoked seizures ≥ 7 days from the bleeding. RESULTS: We included 278 patients with a median follow-up of 2.4 years. The mean age was 57 (+/-12) years, 188 (68 %) were female and 49 (17.6 %) developed epilepsy with a median latency of 174 days (IQR 49-479). Cortical brain lesions were present in 189 (68 %) and focal EEG abnormalities were detected in 158 patients (39 epileptiform discharges, 119 non-epileptiform abnormalities). The median delay to the first EEG recording was 6 days (IQR 2-12). Multiple Cox regression analysis showed higher risk of long-term epilepsy in those patients with CT cortical involvement (HR 2.6 [1.3-5.2], p 0.009), EEG focal non-epileptiform abnormalities (HR 3.7 [1.6-8.2], p 0.002) and epileptiform discharges (HR 6.7 [2.8-15.8], p < 0.001). Concomitant use of anesthetics and/or antiseizure medication during EEG recording had no influence over its predictive capacity. ROC-curve analysis of the model showed good predictive capability at 5 years (AUC 0.80, 95 %CI 0.74-0.87). CONCLUSIONS: Focal electrographic abnormalities (both epileptiform and non-epileptiform abnormalities) and cortical involvement in neuroimaging predict the development of long-term epilepsy. In-patient EEG and CT findings could allow an early risk stratification and facilitate a personalized follow-up and management of SAH patients.

RESUMO

The objective of this study is to determine the role of multimodal intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) in the overall outcome of intracranial aneurysms surgery, and the risk factors associated with ischemic complications. We grouped 268 ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms surgically treated at our institution into 2 cohorts, based on the use of IONM (180; 67.16%) or non-use of IONM (88; 32.84%). The IONM technique used was multimodal: electroencephalogram (EEG), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), transcranial (TES), and direct cortical (DCS) stimulation motor evoked potentials (MEPs). There was a significant difference, with a reduction in perioperative strokes (p = 0.011) and better motor surgery-related outcome in the IONM group (p = 0.016). Independent risk factors identified for surgery ischemic complications were temporary clipping time ≥ 6'05″ (odds ratio [OR]: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.068-8.601; p = 0.037), aneurysm size ≥ 7.5 mm (OR: 2.65; 95% CI: 1.127-6.235; p = 0.026), and non-use of IONM (OR: 2.79; 95% CI: 1.171-6.636; p = 0.021). Conversely, aneurysm rupture was not detected as an independent risk factor (OR: 2.5; 95% CI: 0.55-4.55; p = 0.4). Longer temporary clipping time, larger aneurysm size, and the non-use of IONM could be considered as risk factors for ischemic complications during microsurgical clipping. A standardized designed protocol including multimodal IONM with DCS provides continuous information about blood supply and allows reduction of treatment-related morbidity. Multimodal IONM is a valuable technique in intracranial aneurysm surgery.
