Factors Associated with Health-Related Quality of Life in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Southern Thailand

Factors associated with quality of life following subarachnoid hemorrhageAbstract
Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) leads patients to develop subsequent mortalities, disabilities, and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The present study aimed to investigate factors associated with HRQoL in patients with spontaneous SAH following treatment.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study to assess HRQoL in SAH patients after treatment by the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores. The correlation matrix with Pearson’s correlation among various variables was used to screen a relationship between VAS scores and other variables. Moreover, linear regression analysis was performed in both univariate and multivariable analyses to explore factors associated with the VAS score.
Results: Ninety SAH patients consented and completed the questionnaire. The Hunt and Hess grade, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade, and Fisher grade all had negative correlations with VAS scores of -0.712, -0.551, and -0.377, respectively. Following the multiple linear regression with the backward stepwise procedure, the Hunt and Hess grade grade was the only factor in the final model that was linked to HRQoL of SAH patients after treatment
Conclusion: In summary, the present study demonstrated a negative linear correlation between the severity of SAH and patient-reported HRQoL. For general practice, the Hunt and Hess grade could be the most important predictor of HRQoL after treatment in SAH.
