Utility of the Hijdra sum score in predicting risk of aneurysm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage: a single-center experience with 550 patients.
This study’s objective was to generate a model to assist in predicting risk of aneurysm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all patients 18 years and older admitted to a single center from March 2008 to March 2018 with non-traumatic SAH (n = 550). Risk factors examined included female sex, higher modified Fisher or Hijdra score, nonperimesencephalic location, presence of intracerebral hemorrhage, World Federation of Neurological Societies (WFNS) score ≥3, need for cerebrospinal fluid diversion on admission, and history of tobacco use. Greater modified Fisher, greater Hijdra score, WFNS ≥3, and hydrocephalus present on admission presented a significantly greater risk of an aneurysm. The authors concluded a simple scoring tool based on patient sex, SAH location and SAH burden can assist in predicting the presence of an aneurysm in patients with nontraumatic SAH.
