| - serum TNF alfa - the occurrence of DCI within three months after onset of SAH and poor outcome after three months. DCI is defined as the occurrence of a new spontaneous hypodense lesion as revealed by a CT scan compatible with clinical features of DCI (gradually developed focal deficits, decreased level of consciousness, or both). Three months after the SAH we assess functional outcome with the modified Rankin scale, a 6-point handicap scale that focuses on restrictions in lifestyle, by means of a telephone interview. | — |
