The most common long-term disability in patients with SAH is cognitive dysfunction. Contrary to the common theory that damage from DCI originates solely from ischemia caused by cerebral vasospasm, inflammation has been shown to be an important independent mediator of DCI.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Neutrophil infiltration of the meninges is a critical step in developing late spatial memory deficits in a murine model of SAH and may serve as a surrogate marker for disease progression. Importantly, myeloperoxidase (MPO) null mice do not develop meningeal neutrophilia and are protected from spatial memory deficits.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, wildtype mice administered a single dose of the MPO inhibitor (MPOi) AZD5904 at peak neutrophil entry day have a higher percentage of neutrophils that remain in the meningeal blood vessel 6 days after the hemorrhage suggesting neutrophil extravasation into the meninges is inhibited (79 ± 20 vs. 28 ± 24, p < 0.01). Interestingly, the intraperitoneal route of administration has a larger effect than the intrathecal route suggesting that MPO inhibition is best administered systemically not in the central nervous system. Second, mice administered AZD5904 intraperitoneal for 4 consecutive days starting 2 days after the hemorrhage do not develop delayed spatial memory dysfunction (two-way analysis of variance, p > 0.001 F [2, 22] = 10.11).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Systemic MPOi prevents neutrophil entry into the meninges and prevents spatial memory dysfunction.

This potential bias has led to limitations in using outcome data associated with clinical grading scales and a risk of perpetuating high mortality following SABI, leading to self-fulfilling prophecies. The aims of this article are to (1) review contemporary prognostication practices among clinicians for patients with SABI, (2) discuss inherent challenges in prognosticating outcomes following SABI, (3) summarize statements and guidelines from professional societies regarding SABI prognostication, and (4) identify directions for future research in prognostication after SABI.</p>","PeriodicalId":19118,"journal":{"name":"Neurocritical Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142770703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The average values of the autoregulation index known as the pressure reactivity index (PRx) were not different between the intervention (CPP target = CPPopt) and control (CPP target = 60-70 mmHg) groups of the trial. This secondary analysis was performed to investigate whether: (1) in the intervention group, PRx was closer to PRxopt (PRx at CPPopt) values, indicating a more preserved reactivity, as opposed to in the control group; (2) in the intervention group, patients experienced lower hourly PRx when CPP was close to the CPPopt-based target.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analyzed data from the 28 and 32 patients randomized to the control and intervention groups of the COGiTATE study, respectively. We compared hourly averaged ΔPRx (PRx minus PRxopt, where PRxopt is PRx at CPPopt) between the two groups, focusing on periods of globally preserved/homogeneous autoregulation (negative PRxopt). For each patient in the intervention group, PRx values in periods when ΔCPP (CPP minus CPPopt target) was between -5 and + 5 mm Hg were compared to values in periods when ΔCPP was outside this range.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The median ΔPRx was significantly lower in the intervention group for negative PRxopt (Mann-Whitney U-test, p < 0.001).
