Initial Loss of Consciousness and Risk of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Stroke 30:2268-2271, Hop,J.W.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major cause of death and disability in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. We studied the prognostic value for DCI of 2 factors: the duration of unconsciousness after the hemorrhage and p resence of risk factors for atherosclerosis. The duration of unconsciousness after subarachnoid hemorrhage is a strong predictor for the occurrence of DCI. This observation may contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of DCI and increase d attention for patients at risk.
