Shunt-dependent hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of SDHC is 22.3%. Our analysis identified several predictors of SDHC that can assist clinicians in monitoring patients with an aSAH. Shunt dependency is not related to the treatment modality of the ruptured aneurysm, whereas the occurrence of SDHC is a predictor of poor clinical outcome.
