P DELAYED ISCHAEMIC NEUROLOGICAL DEFICITS (DIND) AFTER ANEURYSMAL SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE I 1 Epidemiology Although cerebral haemorrhage represents only 10%-15% of all strokes, it has been estimated to cause more than 50% of the overall stroke mortality (Bamford et al. 1990). The 30-day mortality rate at around 45% is similar for intracranial and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) (Broderick et al. 1993). SAH represents one quarter to one third of all cerebral haemorrhages (Nilsson et al. 2000). The more recent studies have estimated an annual rate of SAH between 6 in North America and 10 in Europe per 100,000 population (Broderick et al. 1993; Nilsson et al. 2000). Women are affected about twice as often compared with men (Broderick et al. 1993; Nilsson et al. 2000). Approximately 75% of spontaneous SAHs are caused by intracranial aneurysms (Nilsson et al. 2000). In a recent population-based European study, 16% of the patients with SAH died before reaching the hospital. Another 5% deceased at the day of haemorrhage after admission (Pobereskin 2001). Among patients surviving the initial haemorrhage treated without surgery, rebleeding is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. The risk is between 15% and 20% within the first two weeks. The goal of early surgery is to reduce this risk. Of those reaching neurosurgical care, secondary deterioration caused by delayed ischaemic neurological deficits (DINDs) is assumed to be the predominant complication after SAH. In the international cooperative study on the timing of aneurysm surgery, DINDs were responsible for disability in 6.3% and mortality in 7.2% among patients with SAH (Kassell et al. 1990a). The recent randomised, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials of tirilazad mesylate found a rate of 33% to 38% for DINDs in all patients of the vehicle group. Cerebral infarctions occurred in 10% to 13% (Haley et al. 1997; Lanzino and Kassell 1999; Lanzino et al. 1999).
