Alcohol Consumption as a Risk Factor for Poor Outcome after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage BMJ 304:1663-1667, Juvela,S., 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Heavy drinking remained a significant risk factor after additional adjustment for hypertension,body mass index,and presence of intracerebral haematoma.Heavy drinkers had a more unfavourable outcome after rebleeding and delayed ischaemic than did others with rebleeding or ischaemia.Those who had salicylates in urine on admission had delayed ischaemia with fixed neurological deficits less commonly than others.Conclusions-Heary drinking impairs outcome mainly through severe rebleeding and delayed ischaemia and to a lesser extent through a poor initial condition and presence of intracerebral haematoma.
