Study of mortality risk factors in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage within indonesian population

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating type of stroke with high mortality rate. The understanding of factors that contribute to mortality in patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage can help clinicians in further management of the patients.Aim: The aim of this study is to identify mortality risk factors in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SH).Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study. Data were obtained from the stroke registry and medical records of patients at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Data were obtained from 80 subarachnoid hemorrhage patients consisting of 40 males (50%) and 40 females (50%). Result of multivariate analysis show that there are significant associations between mortality in SAH patient with loss of consciousness (OR: 19.722, 95% CI: 1.788- 217.521, p: 0.015), elevated systolic blood pressure (OR: 157.4, 95%CI: 2.068- 11990.9, p: 0.022), high random blood glucose (OR: 12.457, 95%CI: 2.305- 67.322, p: 0.03) and presence of medical complication (OR: 30.539, CI95%: 2.685- 347.377, p: 0.006).Conclusion: This study demonstrated that loss of consciousness, elevated systolic blood pressure, high blood glucose, and presence of medical complication has significant association with mortality of SAH patient.
