Scoring System to Predict Hospital Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage –Incorporating Systemic Response: The CRIG Score

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) causes acute brain injury by deranging brain's microenvironment and has several systemic effects.1 Deleterious effects of acute brain injury after aSAH are manifested locally as early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI).1 Pathological events like EBI and DCI both contribute to morbidity and mortality associated with aSAH. These local physiological derangements are difficult to study in vivo in humans and hence, investigators often rely on serological biomarkers to predict EBI and DCI after aSAH.
