Symptomatic vasospasm was defined by clinical criteria accompanied by laboratory- and radiologically determined exclusion of other causes of neurological deterioration. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonographic and\/or angiographic confirmation was not required. In these patients, the aneurysms were scheduled to be treated surgically, and no patient undergoing endovascular treatment was included. A multivariate analysis showed that factors significantly associated with vasospasm were age 40 to 59 years, history of hypertension, worse neurological grade, thicker blood clot on the cranial computerized tomography (CT) scan obtained on hospital admission, larger aneurysm size, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), prophylactic use of induced hypertension, and not participating in the first European tirilazad study.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Symptomatic vasospasm was associated with the amount of SAH on the CT scan, the presence of IVH, and the patient's neurological grade. The association with patient age may reflect alterations in vessel reactivity associated with age. A history of hypertension may render the brain more susceptible to symptoms from vasospasm. The explanation for the relationships with aneurysm size, use of prophylactic induced hypertension, and the particular study is unclear.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2003.99.4.0644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T17:49:22Z","timestamp":1242236962000},"page":"644-652","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":99,"title":["Factors associated with the development of vasospasm after planned surgical treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"R.
