Abstrakt:	Background and Objectives: Treatment of patients who present with poor clinical condition is often postponed until neurological improvement is observed. Despite previous studies, it is still unclear how survivors perceive their quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to evaluate self-perceived QoL in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage who present with poor clinical condition, as defined by World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grades 4 to 5, compared with those who present in more favorable clinical condition (WFNS 1-3). Methods: Between 2011 and 2021, 1160 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were admitted to the Amsterdam UMC. Among the 845 patients who survived, 537 participated in the QoL questionnaires. Patient characteristics, complications, EQ-5D questionnaires, modified Rankin Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were analyzed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables or the Pearson χ2 test for categorical variables. Results: Of the 537 responders, 452 (84%) presented with low grade (WFNS 1-3) and 85 (16%) presented with high grade (WFNS 4-5). The high-grade group reported a self-perceived QoL score of 70 (of 100), while the low-grade group reported a score of 75 (P = .12). The mean EQ-5D index value was 0.74 for the high-grade group and 0.81 for the low-grade group (P < .01). In the high-grade group, 61 patients (72%) had a favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-3) compared with 419 (94%) in the low-grade group (P < .001). Conclusion: High-grade WFNS patients rated their QoL as satisfactory, with only a marginal 5-point difference on a 100-point scale compared with low-grade WFNS patients. In addition, almost three-quarters of high-grade WFNS survivors achieved a favorable outcome. Given that a subset of patients, despite presenting with a poor clinical condition, still achieve a favorable outcome, these findings reinforce our perspective advocating for early and comprehensive treatment.
