Prognostic Value of the Neurological Pupil Index in Patients With Acute Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Background: The Neurological Pupil index (NPi) provides a quantitative assessment of pupil reactivity and may have prognostic value in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We aimed to explore associations between the NPi and clinical outcomes in patients with SAH. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 79 consecutive patients with acute SAH. Age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II score, and respiratory failure and NPi in each eye were recorded at admission. The primary outcomes included death and poor clinical outcome (defined as inpatient death, care withdrawal, or discharge Glasgow Outcome Score
