Elevated hemoglobin is associated with poor prognosis in Tibetans with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage after clipping: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

CONCLUSION: High HGB level was associated with increased risk of postsurgical cerebral ischemia, pulmonary embolism and lower-limb DVT and poor prognosis in poor-grade aSAH patients. Preoperative hemodilution therapy might be beneficial in reducing operative complications, reducing hospital stay and improving short-term prognosis for neurological functional recovery in aSAH patients with high HGB concentration, but further detailed research is needed.
