Long-term Effects of Time to Treatment in Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

February 24, 2021 updated by: Asger Sonne, MD, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Time From First Health Care Contact to Neurosurgical Admission and the Effect on Long-term Labour Market Affiliation and Mortality in Patients With Spontaneous Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

For patients with spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage, it remains to be investigated if there is an association between the time from patients call the Emergence Medical Coordination Center to neurosurgical admission and long-term outcome.

This is a retrospective cohort study with four-year followup. The primary aim is to determine if the time to neurosurgical admission is associated to labour marked affiliation and mortality after four years.

Study Population

Patients that are retired or on social transfer payments the last three months before the sSAH are excluded from analyses on retirement and labour marked affiliation. However, they are included in mortality analyses. Also, patients aged 60 years or older are excluded in analyses of early retirement as reduced work capacity may to a higher degree result in early voluntary retirement.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage registered in the Danish National Patient Register and confirmed by medical record review.
  • Initially admitted to a hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2014.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior subarachnoid haemorrhage.
  • Inhospital symptom onset.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Confirmed spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage

Patients, minimum 18 years of age, identified with the diagnosis in the Danish National Patient Register. The diagnosis is verified by medical record review.

All patients were initially admitted to a hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark.

In a national labour marked register and the civil registration register the patients are then followed for four years.

Exposure is the time from patients call the Emergency Medical Coordination Center to they are admitted to a neurosurgiocal department.
