Early and Prolonged Mild Hypothermia in Patients with Poor-Grade Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Pilot Study.


ABSTRACT: We assessed the feasibility of therapeutic early and prolonged mild hypothermia (MH) in patients with poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A retrospective pilot study was conducted for poor-grade SAH patients at two university hospitals from March 2015 to December 2018 who had received MH immediately after coil embolization and maintained a target temperature of 34-35°C for 5 days. A matched controlled design at a 1:2 ratio was used to compare MH therapy outcomes. The primary goal was to assess the two groups' severe functional outcomes at discharge defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6. The secondary aim was to assess mortality and severe vasospasm depending upon MH. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relevant risk factors for the outcomes. A total of 54 patients (18 with MH treatment and 36 without MH treatment) were included. Severe functional outcome was significantly decreased in poor-grade SAH patients with MH (n = 7, 38.9%) than those without MH (n = 25, 69.4%; p = 0.031). In patients treated with MH, mortality and severe vasospasm tended to be less common, although the difference was not statistically significant. A binary logistic regression analysis revealed that early and prolonged MH (odds ratio [OR] = 0.156, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.037-0.644) and severe vasospasm (OR = 5.593, 95% CI: 1.372-22.812) were risk factors for severe functional outcomes. This study shows potential therapeutic effect of early and prolonged MH treatment in poor-grade SAH patients. A randomized controlled study with a large number of patients is warranted in the future.
