Aneurysm treatment within 6 h versus 6-24 h after rupture in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.


ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of rebleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is the highest during the initial hours after rupture. Emergency aneurysm treatment may decrease this risk, but is a logistic challenge and economic burden. We aimed to investigate whether aneurysm treatment <6 h after rupture is associated with a decreased risk of poor functional outcome compared to aneurysm treatment 6-24 h after rupture.

Methods

We used data of patients included in the ULTRA trial (NCT02684812). All patients in ULTRA were admitted within 24 h after aneurysm rupture. For the current study, we excluded patients in whom the aneurysm was not treated <24 h after rupture. We calculated crude and adjusted risk ratios (aRR) with 95% confidence intervals using Poisson regression analyses for poor functional outcome (death or dependency, assessed by the modified Rankin Scale) after aneurysm treatment <6 h versus 6-24 h after rupture. Adjustments were made for age, sex, clinical condition on admission (WFNS scale), amount of extravasated blood (Fisher score), aneurysm location, tranexamic acid treatment, and aneurysm treatment modality.

Results

We included 497 patients. Poor outcome occurred in 63/110 (57%) patients treated within 6 h compared to 145/387 (37%) patients treated 6-24 h after rupture (crude RR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.24-1.88; adjusted RR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.11-1.66).

Conclusion

Aneurysm treatment <6 h is not associated with better functional outcome than aneurysm treatment 6-24 h after rupture. Our results do not support a strategy aiming to treat every patient with a ruptured aneurysm <6 h after rupture.
