Background and Purpose— To identify predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage to estimate their impact. Methods— Retrospective analysis prospective data from a nationwide multicenter registry on all cases admitted tertiary neurosurgical department Switzerland (Swiss SOS [Swiss Study Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage]; 2009–2015). Both clinical radiological independent were identified, effect size was determined by calculating adjusted odds...
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess nationwide incidence outcomes aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Swiss SOS (Swiss Study on Subarachnoid Hemorrhage) established in 2008 offers the unique opportunity provide data from point care a level. Methods: All patients with confirmed admitted between January 1, 2009 December 31, 2014, within Switzerland were recorded prospective registry. Incidence rates calculated based time-matched population data. Admission...
The Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) scale is a novel quantitative measuring maximal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) thickness to predict delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). This could replace the Fisher score, which was traditionally used for DCI prediction. To validate BNI scale. All patient data were obtained from prospective aneurysmal SAH multicenter registry. In 1321 patients, demographic data, scale, DCI, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score up 1-yr follow-up (1FU) available...
Abstract Background and Objectives Laser tissue soldering (LTS) is a promising technique for fusion but limited by the lack of reproducibility particularly when amount indocyanine green (ICG) applied as energy absorber cannot be controlled during procedure. Nanotechnology enables control over quantitative binding ICG. The aim this study was to establish highly reproducible strong using ICG packed nanoshells. By including chromophore in scaffold, dilution procedure prevented. feasibility...
Background and Purpose—Commonly used tools to determine functional outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have limitations. Time spent at the patient’s home has previously been proposed as a robust measure ischemic stroke. Here, we set out validate home-time an aSAH. Methods—We examined prospectively collected data from nationwide multicenter registry of aSAH patients admitted tertiary neurosurgical department in Switzerland (Swiss SOS [Swiss Study on Aneurysmal Subarachnoid...
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a disease affecting mainly elderly individuals. The reported incidence ranges from 2.0/100,000 to 58 per 100,000 person-years when only considering patients who are over 70 years old, with an overall of 8.2-14.0 persons. Due estimated doubling the population above 65 old between 2000 and 2030, cSDH will become even more significant concern. To gain overview hospital admission rates, treatment, outcome, we performed this multicenter national cohort study...
Abstract BACKGROUND The exact relationship between delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and neuropsychological impairment remains unknown, as previous studies lacked a baseline examination after aneurysm occlusion but before the DCI-period. Neuropsychological evaluation of acutely ill patients is often applied in busy intensive care unit (ICU), where distraction represents bias to obtained results. OBJECTIVE To evaluate DCI outcome aSAH by...
Background: Early diagnosis of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) still poses a leading problem neurointensive care. The aim this study was to analyze the effect oral Nimodipine administration on systemic blood pressure with evolving DCI compared without DCI. Methods: Systolic (SBP), mean (MAP) and diastolic (DBP) pressures were analyzed at time additionally 30, 60 120 minutes thereafter days 1, 3 5 aSAH. Additionally, 24 hours period...
The COVID-19 pandemic raised major challenges to the management of patient flows and medical staff resource allocation. To prevent collapse facilities, elective diagnostic surgical procedures were drastically reduced, canceled or rescheduled.We recorded all in-hospital treated patients outpatient clinics visits our neurosurgical department from March 2017 February 2021. Changes OR capacity, treatments during episode was compared on a monthly bases previous years.A total 3'214 data points...

Aims: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) accounts for a large proportion of productive life years lost to stroke. Its management requires multidisciplinary effort. Much the presently available data on incidence, treatment, and outcomes come from studies with strong selection bias, confounding all kinds SAH, that is, aneurysmal nonaneurysmal, cohorts single centers or retrospective series. The aim this study is assess treatment modalities, after SAH national registry. Methods: Patients...
Background: To investigate the pattern of care and outcomes patients with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm who underwent decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH), compare patient characteristics as well short- long-term outcomes. Methods: All data were obtained from Swiss SOS database, at time analysis covering 1,572 treated for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) one eight neurovascular centers between January 2009 December 2013. Results: From in 197 (12.5%; 66% female, 29% 60 years or...
Introduction: To analyze the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) spot sign to predict outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid (aSAH) from a nationwide SAH registry. Methods: All patient data was obtained multicenter registry database (IRB No 11–233R (NAC 11–085R)), at time analysis covering 1,570 treated for (aSAH). Complete dataset 1,023 were available including baseline characteristic, radiographic aneurysmal, and ICH characteristics sign,...
