[Outcome after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Relationship between admission glycemia and clinical status on admission and on hospital discharge].
BACKGROUND
To determine the relationship between the glycemia on hospital admission after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and neurological score.


METHODS
On 44 patients we recorded the glycemia value on admission, coma Glasgow scale (CGS) and Hunt and Hess scale grade (HH), on admission, on discharge and six months later.


RESULTS
The patients with HH IV-V and GCS between 3 and 8 had glycemia values higher than patients with HH I-III and GCS between 9 and 15. The patients with HH IV-V on discharge had glycemia values higher than patients with HH I-III.


CONCLUSIONS
Glycemia value on admission is related with the acute injury severity and represents a prognosis factor in spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage outcome.
