Traumatic SAH Risk Stratification
from AJNR Podcasts Hosted by American Journal of Neuroradiology
In this AJNR Article Summary, Dr. George Vilanilam discusses the article, "Risk Stratification for Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Enlargement and Surgical Intervention: Guides to Follow-Up Imaging in Patients with Trauma." Not all traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages behave the same - risk factors such as coagulopathy, concurrent intracranial hemorrhage, and low Glasgow Coma Scale scores predict hemorrhage progression and need for intervention. A risk-stratified imaging approach may reduce unnecessary repeat CT scans while focusing surveillance on patients most likely to deteriorate.
