NCT06218654

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of biomarkers in spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (sSAH) as predictors of severity of clinical outcome. The test of biomarkers is based on regular blood and urinary samples. Blood levels of highly specific cardiac troponin (cTNI), natriuretic peptides (NT-ProBNP), S100 beta protein, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH-L1), soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-2 (sST2), and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), as well as urinary levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine are the biomarkers explored. All adult participants with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage are involved in the study. The main questions aim to answer are:

  • which of these molecules can be prognostic for patients' outcome
  • which are the prognostic levels of these biomarkers to predict patients' outcome. Participants will undergo blood and urinary samples during hospitalization at 24 hours, 72 hours and after 7 days.

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Biomarkers and patients outcome

    Assessing biomarkers as prognostic factors through logistic regression analysis, adjusted for confounding factors (gender, age, imaging, neurological and systemic complications) that may influence clinical outcomes (mRS).

    t0 at 24 hours, t1 at 72 hours, t2 at 7 days

Interventions

biomarkersDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Serum tests for specific cardiac troponin (cTPI), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), natriuretic peptides (NT-ProBNP), S100 protein (S100B), Soluble Suppressor of Tumorigenesis-2 (sST2), and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) tests will be performed, as well as urinary tests for epinephrine and norepinephrine. On these samples, conducted according to clinical practice, additional measurements will also be taken for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH-L1) as specific study biomarkers on blood samples. All samples will be collected within 24 hours of admission to the Emergency Department (T0) and after 72 hours (T1). A sample at day 7 (T2) will be taken.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All adult patients (\>18 years) diagnosed with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli will be enrolled in the study. Bleeding will be defined as hemorrhage measured on CT using a volumetry program conducted by the Department of Radiology. For all patients, angioCT and angiography (performed if necessary for diagnosis) data will be collected from the initial diagnosis. Radiological images obtained at the time of diagnosis will be collected and anonymized

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, including those with perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
  • Adult patients.
  • Confirmed presence of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage through neuroimaging.
  • Obtained informed consent for specific study biomarkers

You may not qualify if:

  • Age \<18 years.
  • Post-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
