Early Prognostication of 1-Year Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: The FRESH Score Validation

Background and Aim: The FRESH score is a tool to prognosticate long-term outcomes after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Here, for the first time, we aimed to externally validate the disability part of FRESH using its original four score variables. Methods: A total of 107 patients with SAH were prospectively enrolled in the Yale Acute Brain Injury Biorepository between September 2014 and January 2018. 12-month functional outcome was recorded prospectively by trained study investigators using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
