Serum LDH levels may predict poor neurological outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are often elevated in cardiovascular diseases. Their prognostic role after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains poorly evaluated.

Methods

This is a retrospective single-center study of patients with non-traumatic SAH admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of an University Hospital from 2007 to 2022. Exclusion criteria were pregnancy and incomplete medical records or follow-up data. Baseline information, clinical data, radiologic data, the occurrence of neurological complications as well as serum LDH levels during the first 14 days of ICU stay were collected. Unfavorable neurological outcome (UO) at 3 months was defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale of 1-3.

Results

Five hundred and forty-seven patients were include
