Abstract

BACKGROUND:  Symptomatic cerebral vasospasms are deleterious complication of the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm and potentially lethal. The existing scales used to classify the initial presentation of a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) offer a blink of the outcome and the possibility of occurrence of symptomatic cerebral vasospasms. Altogether, neither are they sufficient to predict outcome or occurrence of events reliably nor do they offer a united front. This study tests the common grading scales and factors that otherwise affect the outcome, in an artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithm to create a reliable prediction model for the occurrence of cerebral vasospasms.
