Brief summary
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 outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) et 6 months | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intrahospital mortality | Day 28 | Intrahospital mortality = percentage of deaths occuring during the initial hospitalisation (in the ICU and the neurosurgical/neurological ward) |
| Cause of intrahospital death | Day 28 | Percentage of the following categories: cerebral death, WOLST, surgical causes and medical causes |
| Destination upon hospital discharge | Day 28 | Percentage of the following categories: Discharge to Home versus Rehabilitation Unit versus Another Inpatient Ward (non-neurosurgical) |
| Modified Rankin Scale upon discharge from hospital. | Day 28 | MRS retrieved or estimated from patient's file data at the moment of ICU or neurosurgical ward discharge. |
