Abstract:
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been reported to induce an intrathecal inflammatory reaction reflected by cytokine release, particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6), which correlates with early brain damage and poor outcome. The present study examines intrathecal IL-6 production together with clinical parameters, as a predictor of posthemorrhagic shunt dependency.Among 186 SAH patients admitted between July 2010 and December 2012, 82 received external ventricular drainage due to acute hydr...     »
