Early Serum Creatinine Levels after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Predict Functional Neurological Outcome after 6 Months

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known predictor of unfavorable outcome in patients treated at the ICU, irrespective of the disease. However, data on the potential influence of serum creatinine (sCr) on hospital admission on the outcome in patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SA...

description Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known predictor of unfavorable outcome in patients treated at the ICU, irrespective of the disease. However, data on the potential influence of serum creatinine (sCr) on hospital admission on the outcome in patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is scarce. A total of 369 consecutive patients suffering from SAH were included in this retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into good-grade (WFNS I–III) versus poor-grade (WFNS IV–V). Outcome was assessed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) after 6 months and stratified into favorable (mRS 0–2) versus unfavorable (mRS 3–6). SAH patients with sCr levels <1.0 mg/dL achieved significantly a favorable outcome more often compared to patients with sCr levels ≥1.0 mg/dL (<i>p</i> = 0.003). In the multivariable analysis, higher levels of sCr (<i>p</i> = 0.014, OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.2–4.7), poor-grade on admission (<i>p</i> < 0.001, OR 9.8; 95% CI 5.6–17.2), age over 65 years (<i>p</i> < 0.001, OR 3.3; 95% CI 1.7–6.1), and delayed cerebral ischemia (<i>p</i> < 0.001, OR 7.9; 95% CI 3.7–17.1) were independently associated with an unfavorable outcome. We identified increased sCr on admission as a predictor for unfavorable functional outcome after SAH. Further studies elucidating the pathophysiology of this association are necessary.
