Impact of Tachycardia on Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

September 6, 2019 updated by: Columbia University

Impact of Prolonged Tachycardia on Cardiovascular Morbidity and Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

The purpose of this retrospective study is to test the hypothesis that uncontrolled tachycardia serves as a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and poor outcome after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The design of the current study will be to conduct a retrospective analysis of prolonged heart rate and uncontrolled tachycardia using patients enrolled in the investigators prospective observational cohort study since the electronic medical record systems have been implemented. The investigators know that there have been periods when these electronic systems have failed, resulting in lost data. The investigators anticipate retrospective collection of hourly heart rate for approximately 400 SAH patients that will have ICU data and 3 month modified Rankin documented in our Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Outcomes Project (SHOP) database. The investigators will determine what percent of them have prolonged elevated heart rate and tachycardia. Prolonged heart rate and uncontrolled tachycardia has been defined as a heart rate greater than 95 for greater than 12 hours in one 24 hour period of their ICU stay. The investigators will conduct a ROC curve analysis to determine the appropriate heart rate and duration thresholds that are most predictive of poor prognosis after SAH. Patients be will stratified based on several criteria including admission coma score, early (SAH day 0 to 3) or late (SAH day >=4) ICU admission, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage on admission CT, history of beta-blocker usage, age, and gender.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients admitted to the Columbia Neurocritical Care Unit with a diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage established by computed tomography (CT scan) or xanthochromia of the cerebrospinal fluid if the CT is negative.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >=18 years
  • Diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage established by computed tomography (CT scan) or xanthochromia of the cerebrospinal fluid if the CT is negative
  • Written informed consent from either the patient or a family member
  • Admitted to the NICU for at least 12 hours

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18yrs
  • traumatic SAH
  • SAH due to a rupture of an arteriovenous malformation, neoplasm vasculitis or other secondary causes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score
Time Frame: Three months
Three months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)
Time Frame: 3 months
  1. pulmonary edema,
  2. severe hypertension or
  3. hypotension requiring IV infusion therapy,
  4. myocardial infarction, and
  5. serious cardiac arrhythmias including sudden cardiac arrest.
  6. length of ICU and hospital stay for patients with and without uncontrolled tachycardia
3 months

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 1, 2008

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
