Factors Associated with Neurological Outcome and Lesion Progression in Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

Abstract

The outcome of patients with tSAH at admission is related in a logistic regression analysis to the admission Glasgow Coma Scale score and to the amount of subarachnoid blood. These patients also have a significant risk of CT progression. The amount of subarachnoid blood and the presence of associated parenchymal damage are powerful independent factors associated with CT progression, thus linking poor outcomes and CT changes.
