Abstract:

Objective To explore the risk factors associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) complicated with acute hydrocephalus (aHCP), and to provide the clinical reference for the early identification and intervention of these patients. Methods The clinical data and laboratory indexes of 175 patients with aSAH were retrospectively analysed, and the patients were divided into aHCP group (n=56) and non-aHCP group (n=119) according to whether they presented with aHCP after the onset of the disease. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were applied to identify the risk factors for the aHCP in aSAH patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of these factors. Results A total of 56 (32.0%) out of 175 aSAH patients included developed aHCP after the onset of the disease. Compared with non-aHCP group,the levels of neutrophil count, blood glucose, neutrophil-albumin ratio (NAR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and systemic inflammation composite index (AISI) of the patients in aHCP group were significantly increased(P<0.05), the level of lymphocyte count was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the Hunt-Hess grade and modified Fisher grade were higher (P<0.05), and the incidence of ventricular haematochezia was more high (P<0.05). The binary Logistic regression analysis results showed that the elevated levels of NAR (OR=2.237, 95%CI: 1.063-4.708, P=0.034) and NLR (OR=1.210, 95%CI: 1.095-1.337, P<0.01) were the independent risk factors for the development of aHCP after aSAH. The ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of NAR was 0.812 (95%CI: 0.745-0.878, P<0.001), the AUC of NLR was 0.844 (95%CI: 0.785-0.903, P<0.001), and the combined AUC of NAR and NLR was 0.854 (95%CI: 0.798-0.910, P<0.001). Conclusion NAR and NLR are independent risk factors for the development of aHCP in aSAH patients.
