Objective: Our study investigated the association between level of HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) at admission and the prognosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: A total of 510 patients treated with neuro-intervention for aneurysmal SAH and with data for admission HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) were included. Favorable clinical outcome was defined as Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0–2 at 3 months. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify the optimal cutoff value of HbA1C for unfavorable clinical outcomes. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between HbA1C level and outcomes. Results: The optimal cutoff value of HbA1C was identified as 6.0% (P < 0.001), and patients with a high HbA1C (≥ 6.0%) had a lower prevalence of favorable clinical outcomes than patients with low HbA1C (< 6.0%) (P < 0.001). High HbA1C (≥ 6.0%) was independently associated with unfavorable clinical outcome (OR 2.84; 95% CI: 1.52-5.44; P = 0.004). The risk of unfavorable clinical outcome was significantly increased in patients with HbA1C (≥ 7.0%, < 8%) and HbA1C (≥ 8.0%) compared with lower baseline HbA1C (≥ 6.0%, < 7%) values (OR 2.17; 95% CI: 1.87-5.13; P = 0.011 and OR 4.25; 95% CI: 3.17-8.41; P = 0.005). Conclusions: Our study showed that HbA1C could be an independent predictor of worse outcome following neuro-intervention for aneurysmal SAH. High HbA1C (≥ 6.0%) was associated with unfavorable clinical outcome, and gradual elevation of HbA1C contributed to an increase in the risk of worse clinical outcome after SAH.

Object. In this study the authors evaluated the relative role of cerebral hemodynamic impairment (HDI) in the pathogenesis of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor clinical outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods. Cerebral hemodynamics were assessed daily with transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in 55 consecutive patients with verified SAH. Hemodynamic impairment was defined as blood flow velocity (BFV) values consistent with vasospasm in conjunction with impaired autoregulatory vasodilation as evaluated using the transient hyperemic response tests in the middle cerebral arteries. A total of 1344 TCD examinations were performed, in which the evaluation of HDI was feasible during 80.9% and HDI was registered during 12% of the examinations. It was found that HDI occurred in 60% of patients and was frequently recorded in conjunction with severe vasospasm (p < 0.05) and a rapid increase of BFV values (p < 0.05). Detection of HDI was closely associated with the development of delayed ischemic brain damage after SAH (p < 0.05). Furthermore, because delayed ischemia was never observed in cases in which vasospasm had not led to the development of HDI, its occurrence increased significantly the likelihood of subsequent cerebral ischemia among the patients with vasospasm (p < 0.05). Detection of HDI was independently related to unfavorable clinical outcome according to Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months after SAH (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The results showed that HDI is common after SAH and can be evaluated with TCD ultrasonography in routine clinical practice. Detection of HDI could be useful for identifying patients at high or low risk for delayed ischemic complications and unfavorable clinical outcome after SAH.
