Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a feared complication which occurs after 20-40% of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). It is standard practice to admit patients with SAH to intensive care for an extended period of resource-intensive monitoring. We used machine learning to predict CV requiring verapamil (CVRV) in the largest and only multi-center study to date.
