The following parameters were recorded: age, sex, smoking and drinking history, medical history, Hunt\u2013Hess and Fisher grades, aneurysm location, aneurysm size, surgical treatment, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), intracranial infection, hydrocephalus, pneumonia, and preoperative serum LDH levels within 24 h of aSAH. We investigated whether preoperative serum LDH levels were associated with Hunt\u2013Hess grade, Fisher grade, and functional neurological outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> In total, 2,054 patients with aSAH were enrolled, 874 of whom were treated using microsurgical clipping. The average serum LDH level (U\/L) was significantly lower in the good outcome group (180.096 \u00b1 50.237) than in the poor outcome group (227.554 \u00b1 83.002; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). After propensity score matching, the average serum LDH level (U\/L) was still lower in the good outcome group (205.356 \u00b1 76.785) than in the poor outcome group (227.119 \u00b1 86.469; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.029). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.702 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.650\u20130.754; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). Based on the ROC curve, the optimal cutoff value for serum LDH levels as a predictor of poor 3-month outcome (modified Rankin Scale score &amp;gt; 2) was 201.5 U\/L. The results revealed that Hunt\u2013Hess grade, Fisher grade, DCI, pneumonia, and serum LDH (&amp;gt;201.5 U\/L) were significantly associated with poor outcome. After propensity score matching, serum LDH levels &amp;gt; 201.5 U\/L were still considered an independent risk factor for poor outcome (odds ratio: 2.426, 95% CI = 1.378\u20134.271, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). Serum LDH levels were associated with Hunt\u2013Hess and Fisher grades and were correlated with functional neurological outcomes (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Our findings showed that higher preoperative serum levels of LDH correlated with Hunt\u2013Hess grade, Fisher grade, and neurological functional outcome, and predicted the outcome of aSAH treated by microsurgical clipping at 3 months, which was involved in the related mechanisms of early brain injury and showed its potential clinical significance in patients with aSAH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.720574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]],"date-time":"2021-08-12T04:22:51Z","timestamp":1628742171000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Higher
