摘要

Older age and Fisher group scores predict poor outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, among aging societies, treatment indications and decisions in older patients with severe-grade aSAH (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies [WFNS] grade IV or V) remain poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to identify the risk factors associated with poor outcomes in non-older and older patients with severe-grade aSAH. We analyzed a database of patients with aSAH treated between April 2007 and December 2019 in Japan and divided them into either the non-older (< 75 years) or older group (age ≥ 75 years) to identify factors associated with poor outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score [mRS] 3–6) at discharge. The data analyzed included patient demographics, comorbidities, aneurysm characteristics, Fisher group, WFNS grade, treatment method, and mRS score at discharge. Among the 5,095 patients, 1,303 (986 non-older and 317 older) were classified as having severe-grade aSAH. In non-older patients, chronological age (odds ratio [OR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–1.05) and Fisher groups 3 and 4 were associated with poor outcomes as compared with Fisher group 1 + 2 (OR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.59–5.58 and OR, 5.49; 95% CI, 2.86–10.54, respectively). However, chronological age and Fisher groups 3 and 4 were not associated with poor outcomes in older patients with severe-grade aSAH. This study suggests that outcomes in older patients with severe-grade aSAH cannot be predicted in the same manner as in non-older patients. Further research on potential prognostic factors, such as biological age, is warranted.
