Pronostic Factors in Elderly Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Overview

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represents a significant proportion of hemorrhagic strokes. Severe SAH in elderly patients is associated with poorer outcomes compared to younger cohorts. Better characterization of both short- and long -term prognosis in these patients is necessary to facilitate medical decision-making in the intensive care unit (ICU) Primary Objective: The primary objective is to identify prognostic factors associated with poor functional outcome or death at 6 months (± 2 months) in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate in-hospital mortality among elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH. To describe the causes of in-hospital death (brain death, withholding/withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment \[WOLST\], other medico-surgical causes) in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH. To describe the care trajectory following hospital discharge for elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH. To evaluate the mean length of stay in the ICU and in the hospital (acute care) for elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH. To identify prognostic factors associated with poor functional outcome or death at 1 year in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.
