Abstract

Microthrombosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is considered to initiate neuroinflammation, vessel remodeling, and blood-brain barrier leakage. We aimed to verify the hypothesis that the intensity of thrombogenicity immediately after aSAH depends on the amount and distribution of extravasated blood. This observational cohort study included 37 consecutive aSAH patients admitted no longer than 24 h after ictus. Volumes of subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhages as well as the Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Early Brain Edema Scale (SEBES) score were calculated in each case. Platelet system status was described by platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV to PLT ratio, and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR). Median hemorrhage volume amounted to 11.4 ml (interquartile range 2.8–26.8 ml). Patients with more severe hemorrhage had lower PLT and higher MPV to PLT ratio (ρ =  − 0.49, p < .002; ρ = 0.50, p < .002, respectively). PLT decreased by 2.80 G/l per 1 ml of hemorrhage volume (95% CL 1.30–4.30, p < .001). Further analysis revealed that intraventricular hemorrhage volume was associated with P-LCR and MPV (ρ = 0.34, p < .039; ρ = 0.33, p < .048, respectively), whereas SAH volume with PLT and MPV:PLT ratio (ρ =  − 0.40, p < .013; ρ = 0.41, p < .013, respectively). The odds of unfavorable neurological outcome increased 3.95 times per 1 fl of MPV (95% CI 1.19–13.12, p < .025). MPV was independently correlated with SEBES (ρ = 0.44, p < .006). This study demonstrated that the extent and distribution of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are related to different types of acute platelet response, which may be interpreted as local and systemic thrombogenicity. Increased mean platelet volume measured in the acute phase of aSAH may identify patients at risk for unfavorable neurological outcomes and may serve as a marker of early brain injury.
