Differing Perspectives on Outcome after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: The Patient, the Relative, the Neurosurgeon

Abstract: Despite the neurosurgeon's classification of patients as having a "good recovery" or "moderate disability," the majority of patients surgically treated for SAH reported psychosocial and neurobehavioral changes that were disabling for them and burdensome to their family. Patients and relatives who are interviewed separately by an experienced clinician may provide differing perspectives on SAH outcome that are not necessarily good.

“…Distinct from generally recognized triggers of apoptosis, such as direct tissue trauma, ischemia, inflammation, etc., transsynaptic apoptosis involves the spread of cell death beyond the boundaries of the immediate injury to involve otherwise uninjured neurons that are an axon’s length away. This phenomenon may help to explain the prevalence of cognitive and neuropsychological deficits that commonly afflict humans with “mild-to-moderate” SAH who do not suffer a global insult [6, 10]. …”

“…Among the worst cases are those in which the hemorrhage involves the eloquent cortex, a situation frequently encountered with rupture of middle cerebral artery aneurysms [55, 56]. However, even among patients with mild hemorrhages (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade 1) who do not suffer clinical or radiological vasospasm and who do not experience perioperative complications, long-term psychosocial and cognitive difficulties are still very common [6, 10]. …”

“…In general, poorer neurological status at admission [24], depression, anxiety and fatigue in the aftermath are known to be related to decreased HRQoL [43]. Furthermore, there is evidence that HRQoL is also reduced in patients with an expected good recovery [2]. …”

“…Ана-лиз ближайших функциональных исходов свиде-тельствует о наличии когнитивных расстройств разной степени выраженности у 59% больных на момент выписки из стационара [4]. 60-70% больных, состояние которых до операции было 1-3 балла по шкале Hunt-Hess, в послеопераци-онном периоде не имеют тяжелых когнитивных расстройств, нарушавших психосоциальную адаптацию [5].…”
