Long-Term Outcomes for Different Forms of Stress Cardiomyopathy After Surgical Treatment for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SCM) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) includes predominant apical or basal regional left ventricular dysfunction (RLVD) with concomitant changes in electrocardiogram or increase in cardiac enzymes. We hypothesized that difference in outcome is associated with the type of RLVD after SAH.We studied a single-center retrospective cohort of SAH patients hospitalized between 2000 and 2010 with follow-up until 2013. We classified patients who had an echocardiogram for clinically indicated reasons according to the predominate location of RLVD as classic SCM-apical form and variant SCM-basal form. A Cox proportional hazard model and logistic regression were used to estimate the risk for death and hospital complications associated with different RLVD after adjustment for propensity to undergo echocardiography given clinical characteristics on admission.Among 715 SAH patients, 28% (200/715) had an echocardiogram for clinical evidence of cardiac dysfunction during hospitalization, the most common being acute left ventricular dysfunction, suspected acute ischemic event, changes in electrocardiogram and cardiac enzymes, and arrhythmia. SCM was present in 59 patients (8% of all cohort and 30% of patients with echocardiogram, respectively) with similar distribution of SCM-basal (25/59) and SCM-apical forms (34/59). SAH patients who had an echocardiogram for clinically indicated reasons had a significantly decreased risk-adjusted long-term survival compared with those without an echocardiogram, regardless of the presence of RLVD. SCM-basal form was associated with cardiac complications (odds ratio, 6.1; 99% confidence interval, 1.8-20.2) and severe sepsis (odds ratio, 5.3; 99% confidence interval, 1.6-17.2).SAH patients with echocardiogram for a clinically indicated reason have a decreased long-term survival, regardless of the presence of RLVD. The association between severe sepsis and SCM-basal warrants future studies to determine their potential synergistic effect on left ventricular systolic dysfunction among SAH patients.

Project description:In about 25% of patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a bleeding source cannot be identified during radiological diagnostics. Generally, the outcome of perimesencephalic or prepontine (PM) SAH is known to be significantly better than after non-PM SAH. Data about long-term follow-up concerning physical and mental health are scarce, so this study is reports on long-term results. We measured the influence of PM SAH on a quality-of-life modified Rankin (mRs) scale after six months. For long-term follow-up, a SF-36 questionnaire was used. Questionnaires were sent out between 18 and 168 months after ictus. In 37 patients, a long-term follow-up was available (up to 14 years after SAH). Data detected with the SF-36 questionnaire are compared to reference applicability to the standard population. In total, 37 patients were included for further analysis and divided in 2 subgroups; 13 patients (35%) received subsequent rehabilitation after clinical stay and 24 (65%) did not. In the short-term outcome, a significant improvement from discharge until follow-up was identified in patients with subsequent rehabilitation, but not in the matched pair group without rehabilitation. When PM SAH was compared to the standard population, a reduction in quality of life was identified in physical items (role limitations because of physical health problems, physical functioning) as well as in psychological items (role limitations because of emotional problems). Subsequent rehabilitation on PM SAH patients probably leads to an increase in independence and better mRs. While better mRs was shown at discharge in patients without subsequent rehabilitation, the mRs of rehabilitants was nearly identical after rehabilitation. Patients with good mRs also reached high levels of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) without rehabilitation. Thus, subsequent rehabilitation needs to be encouraged on an individual basis. Indication criteria for subsequent rehabilitation should be defined in further studies to improve patient treatment and efficiency in health care.

Project description:BackgroundDespite improvements in the critical care management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a substantial number of patients still suffer from disabilities. In most areas of the world, longitudinal follow-up is not routinely performed, and the patient's trajectory remains unknown.MethodsWe prospectively collected data of 298 consecutive patients with spontaneous SAH and evaluated clinical trajectories at discharge, 3 months, and 1 year after SAH. In a subgroup of patients transferred to a local neurorehabilitation center (Rehab-Hochzirl), we studied the effects of rehabilitation intensity on clinical trajectories. Any decrease in the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was defined as an improvement, with mRS ≤ 2 indicating good outcome. We used multivariate generalized linear models to investigate associations with clinical trajectories.ResultsOut of the 250 surviving patients, 35% were transferred directly to Rehab-Hochzirl (n = 87 of 250; mRS at discharge = 4), 11% were transferred to another rehabilitation center (n = 27 of 250; mRS = 1), 1% were transferred to a nursing home (n = 3 of 250; mRS = 5), 21% were transferred to their country of origin (n = 52 of 250; mRS = 4), and 32% (n = 79 of 250; mRS = 1) were discharged home. Functional outcome improved in 57% (n = 122 of 215) of patients during the first 3 months, with an additional 16% (35 of 215) improving between 3 and 12 months, resulting in an overall improvement in 73% (n = 157 of 215) of survivors. After 1 year, 60% (n = 179 of 250) of patients were functionally independent. A lower Hunt and Hess scale score at intensive care unit admission, younger age, a lower mRS at intensive care unit discharge, fewer days on mechanical ventilation, and male sex were independently associated with better functional recovery. Although the subgroup of patients transferred to Rehab-Hochzirl were more severely affected, 60% (52 of 87) improved during inpatient neurorehabilitation.ConclusionsOur results indicate ongoing functional improvement in a substantial number of patients with SAH throughout a follow-up period of 12 months. This effect was also observed in patients with severe disability receiving inpatient neurorehabilitation.
