Abstract
Background: Cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) is a serious complication and has a strong relationship with systemic inflammatory responses. Given previously reported relationships between leukocytosis and anemia with ASAH-related cerebral vasospasm, this study examined the association between the preoperative white blood cell-to-hemoglobin ratio (WHR) and postoperative symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (SCV) in patients with ASAH.
Methods: Demographic, preoperative (comorbidities, ASAH characteristics, laboratory findings), intraoperative (operation and anesthesia), and postoperative (SCV, other neurological complications, clinical course) data were retrospectively analyzed in patients with ASAH who underwent surgical or endovascular treatment of the culprit aneurysm. Patients were divided into high-WHR (n=286) and low-WHR (n=257) groups based on the optimal cutoff value of preoperative WHR (0.74), and stabilized inverse probability weighting was performed between the 2 groups. The predictive power of the WHR and other preoperative systemic inflammatory indices (neutrophil-to-albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-neutrophil, platelet-to-white blood cell ratios, and systemic immune-inflammation index) for postoperative SCV was evaluated.
Results: Postoperative SCV was more frequent in the high-WHR group than in the low-WHR group before (33.2% vs. 12.8%; P<0.001) and after (29.4% vs. 19.1%; P=0.005) inverse probability weighting. Before weighting, the predictive power for postoperative SCV was the highest for the WHR among the preoperative systematic inflammatory indices investigated (area under receiver operating characteristics curve 0.66, P<0.001). After weighting, preoperative WHR ≥0.74 was independently associated with postoperative SCV (odds ratio 1.76; P=0.006).
Conclusions: High preoperative WHR was an independent predictor of postoperative SCV in patients with ASAH.
