Systemic Inflammation Response Index and Systemic Immune-inflammation Index for Predicting the Prognosis of Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

An aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can result in disability and high mortality.1 Re-bleeding, poor admission neurologic status, thick SAH, vasospasm, and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are known as predicting factors for exacerbated prognosis of aSAH.2 –5 Similar to other cerebrovascular diseases, aSAH can causes a pronounced peripheral inflammatory/immune response. Systemic changes are also associated with outcomes of patients with SAH.6,7 Although the exact mechanism has not yet been fully revealed, inflammation is known to plays an important role in the progress of aSAH by inducing early brain damage, vasospasm, and subsequent DCI.
