ABSTRACT
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of several potential complications of acute strokes. We aim to analyze its prevalence, risk factors, and association with in-hospital prognosis following SAH. A total of 1047 adult patients with a primary diagnosis of spontaneous SAH were retrospectively enrolled. We retrieved medical information from the administrative database utilizing diagnostic and procedure codes of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). Patients with SAH included 418 men and 629 women, and their mean age was 57.2 (standard deviation 14.6) years (range, 18-93 years). Gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 30 of the 1047 patients, accounting for 2.9%. In a multivariate logistic regression model, the independent risk factors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage were liver disease and hydrocephalus. The in-hospital mortality rates were 43.3% and 29.3% in patients with and without gastrointestinal hemorrhage, respectively, but the difference was not statistically significant. In conclusion, the prevalence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage was 2.9% in patients hospitalized for spontaneous SAH. Underlying liver disease and the presence of hydrocephalus were both independent risk factors for this complication, which is a reminder to clinicians to pay increased attention in such cases.
