This review examines the contribution of the initial blood load and the dynamics of clot clearance to the pathophysiology of SAH and the risk of adverse outcomes. These outcomes include hydrocephalus and delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI), with a particular focus on the impact of blood located in the cisternal spaces, as opposed to ventricular blood, in the development of DCI. The literature described underscores the prognostic value of haematoma characteristics, such as volume, density, and anatomical location. The limitations of traditional radiographic grading systems are discussed, compared with the more accurate volumetric quantification techniques for predicting patient prognosis. Further, the significance of red blood cells (RBCs) and their breakdown products in secondary brain injury after SAH is explored. The review presents novel interventions designed to accelerate clot clearance or mitigate the effects of toxic byproducts released from erythrolysis in the cerebrospinal fluid following SAH.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) was performed on CD8 + CD161 + sorted samples from aSAH patients. Cell populations were identified using \"clustering.\" Gene expression levels of ten previously described genes involved in inflammation were quantified from aSAH and naSAH samples using RT-qPCR. The study focused on the following genes: CCL5, CCL7, APOE, SPP1, CXCL8, CXCL10, HMOX1, LTB, MAL, and HLA-DRB1. Gene clustering analysis revealed that monocytes, NK cells, and T cells expressed CD8 + CD161 + in the CSF of patients with aSAH. In comparison to naSAH samples, aSAH samples exhibited higher mRNA levels of CXCL10 (median, IQR = 90, 16-149 vs. 0.5, 0-6.75, p = 0.02). A trend towards higher HMOX1 levels was also observed in aSAH (median, IQR = 12.6, 9-17.6 vs. 2.55, 1.68-5.7, p = 0.076). Specifically, CXCL10 and HMOX1 were expressed by the monocyte subpopulation. Monocytes, NK cells, and T cells can potentially express CD8 + CD161 + in patients with aSAH. Notably, monocytes show high levels of CXCL10.

Two-fifths of these ischemic infarctions occur early and three-fifths are delayed. The vast majority are cortical infarcts whose pathomorphology corresponds to anemic infarcts. Therefore, we propose in this review that subarachnoid hemorrhage as an ischemic-hemorrhagic stroke is rather a third, separate entity in addition to purely ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. Cumulative focal brain damage, determined by neuroimaging after the first 2 weeks, is the strongest known predictor of patient outcome half a year after the initial hemorrhage. Because of the unique ability to implant neuromonitoring probes at the brain surface before stroke onset and to perform longitudinal MRI scans before and after stroke, delayed cerebral ischemia is currently the stroke variant in humans whose pathophysiological details are by far the best characterized. Optoelectrodes located directly over newly developing delayed infarcts have shown that, as mechanistic correlates of infarct development, spreading depolarizations trigger (1) spreading ischemia, (2) severe hypoxia, (3) persistent activity depression, and (4) transition from clustered spreading depolarizations to a negative ultraslow potential. Furthermore, traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage are the second and third most common etiologies of brain death during continued systemic circulation. Here, we use examples to illustrate that although the pathophysiological cascades associated with brain death are global, they closely resemble the local cascades associated with the development of delayed cerebral infarcts.</p>","PeriodicalId":23237,"journal":{"name":"Translational Stroke Research","volume":" ","pages":"147-168"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11772537/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139940848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review offers a comprehensive overview of prevalent scales and clinical outcomes used in SAH assessment, accompanied by recommendations for their application and prognostic accuracy. Standardized terminology and diagnostic criteria should be employed when reporting pathophysiological outcomes such as symptomatic vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. Furthermore, integrating clinical severity scales like the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scale and modified Fisher score into clinical trials is advised to evaluate their prognostic significance, despite their limited correlation with outcomes. The modified Rankin score is widely used for assessing functional outcomes, while the Glasgow outcome scale-extended version is suitable for broader social and behavioral evaluations. Avoiding score dichotomization is crucial to retain valuable information. Cognitive and behavioral outcomes, though frequently affected in patients with favorable neurological outcomes, are often overlooked during follow-up outpatient visits, despite their significant impact on quality of life. Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations conducted by trained professionals are recommended for characterizing cognitive function, with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment serving as a viable screening tool.
