Peripheral eosinophil trends and clinical outcomes after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

Uncontrolled systemic inflammation after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with worse outcomes. Changes in the peripheral eosinophil count have been linked to worse clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. We aimed to investigate the association of eosinophil counts with clinical outcomes after SAH.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included patients with SAH admitted from January 2009 to July 2016. Variables included demographics, modified Fisher scale (mFS), Hunt–Hess Scale (HHS), global cerebral edema (GCE), and the presence of any infection. Peripheral eosinophil counts were examined as part of routine clinical care on admission and daily for 10 days after a
