Early brain injury (radiologically defined by global cerebral edema) is a major determinant of clinical outcome in poor-grade aneurysmal SAH. In this retrospective study of 400 patients with poor-grade aneurysmal SAH, it was shown that intracerebral hemorrhage volume independently predicted global cerebral edema and long-term outcome, intraventricular hemorrhage volume predicted mortality and long-term outcome, and SAH volume predicted long-term clinical outcome.
