N2 - Introduction and objective: Blood pressure is presumably related to rebleeding and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and could serve as a target to improve outcome. We assessed the associations between blood pressure and rebleeding or DCI in aSAH-patients. Materials and methods: In this observational study in 1167 aSAH-patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), adjusted hazard ratio's (aHR) were calculated for the time-dependent association of blood pressure and rebleeding or DCI. The aHRs were presented graphically, relative to a reference mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 100 mmHg and systolic blood pressure (sBP) of 150 mmHg. Results: A MAP below 100 mmHg in the 6, 3 and 1 h before each moment in time was associated with a decreased risk of rebleeding (e.g. within 6 h preceding rebleeding: MAP = 80 mmHg: aHR 0.30 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11–0.80)). A MAP below 60 mmHg in the 24 h before each moment in time was associated with an increased risk of DCI (e.g. MAP = 50 mmHg: aHR 2.59 (95% CI 1.12–5.96)). Conclusions: Our results suggest that a MAP below 100 mmHg is associated with decreased risk of rebleeding, and a MAP below 60 mmHg with increased risk of DCI.
