EARLY PROGNOSIS OF SUBARACHINOID HAEMORRHAGE

Abstract

Introduction: Subarachnoid haemorrhage presents urgent state in neurology, with dramatic clinical picture and high mortality. Aim of this study was to analize role of the risk factors in prognosis of patients with spontaneous subarachnoidal haemorrhage. Patients and Methods: It was analyzed 48 patients with spontaneous subarachnoidal haemorrhage which are cured on Neurological clinic in Tuzla in period from January 1. 2001 till December 31. 2002. Mean age of patients was 57.6 +/-12. years. Results: It was shown that the most frequent risk factors were hypertension (72.9%), heart diseases (54.1%) and smoking (39.6%). From all 48, 21 (43.7%) patients died. At survived patients, one month from begining of disease, cases. Survived had significant lower mean age (p= .009) and Hunt Hess score (p=0.001) at admission than the died. Patients with complexity find by computed tomography had bad prognosis. Conclusion: Older age of patients, higher number of risk factors, higher Hunt Hess score at admission, and blood in the ventricular system on CT are risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with subarachnoidal haemorrhage.
