Prognostic value of initial routine laboratory blood tests in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring mechanical ventilation: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) necessitating mechanical ventilation (MV) presents a serious challenge for intensivists. Laboratory blood tests reflect individual physiological and biochemical states, and provide a useful tool for identifying patients with critical condition and stratifying risk levels of death. This study aimed to determine the prognostic role of initial routine laboratory blood tests in these patients.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 190 aSAH patients requiring MV in the neurosurgical intensive care unit from December 2019 to March 2022. Follow-up evaluation was performed in May 2022 via routine outpatient appointment or telephone interview. The primary outcomes were death occurring within 7 days after discharge (short
