Pronostic Factors in Elderly Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (FAPPAR-HSA)

March 31, 2026 updated by: ALB Ionel mircea, Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Pronostic Factors in Elderly Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study FAPPAR-HSA

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represents a significant proportion of hemorrhagic strokes. Severe SAH in elderly patients is associated with poorer outcomes compared to younger cohorts. Better characterization of both short- and long -term prognosis in these patients is necessary to facilitate medical decision-making in the intensive care unit (ICU)

Primary Objective:

The primary objective is to identify prognostic factors associated with poor functional outcome or death at 6 months (± 2 months) in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate in-hospital mortality among elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

To describe the causes of in-hospital death (brain death, withholding/withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment [WOLST], other medico-surgical causes) in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

To describe the care trajectory following hospital discharge for elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

To evaluate the mean length of stay in the ICU and in the hospital (acute care) for elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

To identify prognostic factors associated with poor functional outcome or death at 1 year in elderly patients admitted to the ICU for SAH.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Elderly aneurysmal SAH patients hospitalized in ICU
Patients hospitalized in ICU for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage between Juin 30, 2021 and Juin 30, 2025. Aged 70 years or over the day of admission in ICU. In accordance with French regulations , the study included patients who did not object to the use of their clinical data after receiving written information.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) et 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months after ICU discharge
MRS : scale from 1(no symptoms) to 6 (dead) Good outcome : 0 - 2 Bad outcome: 3 - 6 The MRS grade is either collected if already available in the medical file or estimated retrospectively based on the patient neurological evaluation.
6 months after ICU discharge

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intrahospital mortality
Time Frame: Day 28
Intrahospital mortality = percentage of deaths occuring during the initial hospitalisation (in the ICU and the neurosurgical/neurological ward)
Day 28
Cause of intrahospital death
Time Frame: Day 28
Percentage of the following categories: cerebral death, WOLST, surgical causes and medical causes
Day 28
Destination upon hospital discharge
Time Frame: Day 28
Percentage of the following categories: Discharge to Home versus Rehabilitation Unit versus Another Inpatient Ward (non-neurosurgical)
Day 28
Modified Rankin Scale upon discharge from hospital.
Time Frame: Day 28
MRS retrieved or estimated from patient's file data at the moment of ICU or neurosurgical ward discharge.
Day 28
