Brief Summary:
This is the first prospective study in Hong Kong that recruit patients with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture in all seven public neurosurgical services in Hong Kong. This study assesses whether ultra-early aneurysm treatment improves outcomes in patients with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture in Hong Kong. These data are essential to understand the impact of the disease and for future service development in Hong Kong.
Detailed Description:
Objectives:
1. To evaluate outcomes in patients admitted with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture in Hong Kong;
2. To evaluate whether ultra-early aneurysm treatment improves outcomes in patients admitted with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture.
Hypothesis to be tested: Ultra-early aneurysm treatment increases chance of favorable outcomes in in patients admitted with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture.
Design and subjects: Prospective observational study to recruit consecutive poor grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients in the seven public neurosurgical services in Hong Kong.
Study instruments: Modified Rankin Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life, Short Form-36, Return to Work, and hospital resource utilization.
Groups: Ultra-early (within initial 24 hours) and non-ultra early aneurysm treatment.
Main outcome measures: Favorable outcome at six months. Data analysis and expected results: Comparisons are carried out with adjustments for age, sex, admission Glasgow Coma Scale, hypertension, and modality of aneurysm treatment with appropriate regression analyses.
