Evaluation of FRESH scores in predicting outcome and quality of life after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage in a European patient cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) patients often experiencing physical and mental disabilities impacting their quality of life (QoL), routine assessment of long-term QoL data and predictive tools are limited. This study evaluates the newly developed "functional recovery expected after subarachnoid haemorrhage" (FRESH) scores with long-term outcomes and QoL in European aSAH patients.

Methods

FRESH, FRESH-cog, and FRESH-quol scores were retrospectively obtained from aSAH patients. Patients were contacted, and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), extended short form-36 (SF-36), and telephone interview for cognitive status (TICS) were collected and performed. The prognostic and empirical outcomes were compared.

Results

Out of 374 patients, 171 pati
