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 anal
