An Early Increase of Blood Leukocyte Subsets in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Is Predictive of Vasospasm.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Vasospasm is a severe complication in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and cannot be reliably predicted. Its pathophysiology remains elusive with the current body of evidence suggesting inflammation as one of the main driving forces. We here aimed to analyze circulating immune cell subsets over time in patients with aSAH with or without vasospasm. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study recruiting patients with spontaneous aSAH. Peripheral blood withdrawn at pre-specified time-points after aSAH, day 0, days 3-4, 6-8, 10-11, 13-15, and 18-21. Flow cytometry analysis, cell blood counts, and laboratory and diagnostic parameters were performed. Patients were monitored by transcranial Doppler for vasospasm as well as by advanced imaging and divided into a group with (VS) and without vasospasm VS (NVS). Results: We included 42 patients for study analysis, 21 VS and 21 NVS. An early significant increase at day 0 in platelet, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, NK lymphocyte, monocyte, and CD 14⁺⁺ CD16^- DR⁺ monocyte counts was found in patients with later ensuing vasospasm. The early differences in platelets, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and NK lymphocytes remained significant on multivariate analysis. Conclusions: An early increase of immune cellular subsets in aSAH may contribute to predict VS.

Project description:BackgroundDisease progression and delayed neurological complications are common after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We explored the potential of quantitative blood-brain barrier (BBB) imaging to predict disease progression and neurological outcome.MethodsData were collected as part of the Co-Operative Studies of Brain Injury Depolarizations (COSBID). We analyzed retrospectively, blinded and semi-automatically magnetic resonance images from 124 aSAH patients scanned at 4 time points (24-48 h, 6-8 days, 12-15 days and 6-12 months) after the initial hemorrhage. Volume of brain with apparent pathology and/or BBB dysfunction (BBBD), subarachnoid space and lateral ventricles were measured. Neurological status on admission was assessed using the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies and Rosen-Macdonald scores. Outcome at ≥6 months was assessed using the extended Glasgow outcome scale and disease course (progressive or non-progressive based on imaging-detected loss of normal brain tissue in consecutive scans). Logistic regression was used to define biomarkers that best predict outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to assess accuracy of outcome prediction models.FindingsIn the present cohort, 63% of patients had progressive and 37% non-progressive disease course. Progressive course was associated with worse outcome at ≥6 months (sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 97%). Brain volume with BBBD was significantly larger in patients with progressive course already 24-48 h after admission (2.23 (1.23-3.17) folds, median with 95%CI), and persisted at all time points. The highest probability of a BBB-disrupted voxel to become pathological was found at a distance of ≤1 cm from the brain with apparent pathology (0·284 (0·122-0·594), p < 0·001, median with 95%CI). A multivariate logistic regression model revealed power for BBBD in combination with RMS at 24-48 h in predicting outcome (ROC area under the curve = 0·829, p < 0·001).InterpretationWe suggest that early identification of BBBD may serve as a key predictive biomarker for neurological outcome in aSAH.

Project description:IntroductionCerebral vasospasm (CVS) is the most common neurological complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and associated with poor functional outcome and mortality. Reports on incidence and predictors of CVS in Chinese patients with aSAH were scarce. We aimed to estimate the incidence and predictors of angiographic vasospasm (AV), symptomatic vasospasm (SV), and cerebral infarction in Chinese patients with aSAH.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 542 consecutive aSAH patients admitted to neurosurgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University in Urumqi city of China between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. AV, SV and cerebral infarction were defined based on clinical data and neuroimaging findings. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of AV, SV or cerebral infarction.Results343 (63.3%) patients fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of them, 182(53.1%) developed AV, 99 (28.9%) developed SV, and 87 (25.4%) developed cerebral infarction. A history of hypertension, poor modified Fisher grade (3-4) and poor Hunt-Hess grade (4-5) on admission were common risk factors for AV, SV and cerebral infarction. Patients from Uyghur ethnic group or other minorities were less likely to develop AV, SV or cerebral infarction, compared to those from Han ethic group after adjustment of other potential confounders. Additionally, age ?53 years, leukocyte count ?11× 109/L on admission and being current or former smokers were independent risk factors of cerebral infarction. Leukocyte count ?11× 109/L on admission and aneurysm size ? 10 mm were independent risk factors of SV. Serum glucose level ?7.0 mmol/L on admission was an independent risk factor of AV.ConclusionRisk factors of different definitions of CVS were diverse in Chinese patients with aSAH; however, risk factors of SV and cerebral infarction seem to be similar. We recommend early and aggressive therapy in these patients at-risk of CVS.
