Our study investigates the predictive value of a new hematological index, the hematocrit-to-hemoglobin (Ht-to-Hb) ratio, for mortality and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective, single-center, observational study on 78 adult critically ill patients with aSAH. We collected data from the electronic and written records, including demographic and clinical data, therapeutic measures, and intensive care unit and hospital length of stay. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, whereas the secondary outcome was DCI development. After descriptive analysis was performed, the Ht-to-Hb ratio was tested as a predictor for the primary and secondary outcomes. Firstly, we conducted a receiver operating characteristic analysis, and cutoff values were identified using the Youden index. Further, in-hospital mortality and DCI probability were evaluated using the log rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression was conducted to test the independent predictive value of the Ht-to-Hb ratio for the aforementioned outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mortality during hospitalization was 25.54%, whereas DCI frequency was 42.3%. The Ht-to-Hb ratio had areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for death prediction and DCI of 0.85 and 0.734, respectively. Values greater than the cutoff value for mortality, 3.069, were independently associated with the primary outcome in the multivariable analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 4.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08\u201319.98,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.039).
