Prognostic Risk Factors of One-stage Surgical Clipping in aSAH Elderly Patients with MIAs.

Abstract

To discuss the prognostic factors affecting the prognosis of 1-stage surgical clipping in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) elderly patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs). A total of 84 elderly patients with aSAH who had MIAs and underwent 1-stage surgical clipping were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up was conducted with patients 30 days after discharge using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). A GOS score of 1 to 3 was defined as a poor outcome, and a GOS score of 4 to 5 was defined as a good outcome. General information (gender, age, size of aneurysm, location of rupture of the responsible aneurysm, H-H grade, CT characteristics of aSAH, number of subarachnoid hemorrhages, operation opportunity, postoperative complications, and intraoperative rupture) and complications（cerebral infarction, hydrocephalus, electrolyte disturbance, and encephaledema）were recorded. Univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze factors that may affect outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that the number of SAH events ( P =0.005), intraoperative rupture ( P =0.048) and postoperative complications ( P =0.002) were associated with the prognosis of aSAH elderly patients with MIAs undergoing 1-stage surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of SAH events (odds ratio [OR] 4.740, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.056 to 21.282, P =0.042) and postoperative complications (OR 4.531, 95% CI 1.266 to 16.220, P =0.020) were independently associated with the prognosis of aSAH elderly patients with MIAs undergoing 1-stage surgery. The number of SAH events and postoperative complications are independent risk factors for the prognosis of aSAH elderly patients with MIAs undergoing 1-stage surgery. These factors contribute to the timely treatment of potentially related patients.
