ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The relationships between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level, vasospasm, and clinical outcome of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are still unclear. OBJECTIVE: To identify the associations between admission Lp-PLA2 and vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage and the clinical outcome of aSAH. METHODS: A total of 103 aSAH patients who had Lp-PLA2 level obtained within 24 h postbleeding were included. The relationships between Lp-PLA2 level, vasospasm, and clinical outcome were analyzed. RESULTS: Vasospasm was observed in 52 patients (50.49%). Patients with vasospasm had significantly higher Lp-PLA2 level than those without (P < .001). Both modified Fisher grade (P = .014) and Lp-PLA2 level (P < .001) were significant predictors associated with vasospasm. The Z test revealed that power of Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher than that of modified Fisher grade in predicting vasospasm (Z = 2.499, P = .012). At 6-mo follow-up, 44 patients (42.72%) had unfavorable outcome and 36 patients (34.95%) died. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade and Lp-PLA2 level were both significant predictors associated with 6-mo unfavorable outcome and mortality (all P < .001). The predictive values of Lp-PLA2 for unfavorable outcome and mortality at 6-mo tended to be lower than those of the WFNS grade, but the differences were not statistically significant (P = .366 and 0.115, respectively). Poor-grade patients having Lp-PLA2 > 200 µg/L had significantly worse 6-mo survival rate than poor-grade patients having Lp-PLA2 ≤ 200 µg/L (P = .001). CONCLUSION: The Lp-PLA2 might be useful as a novel predictor in aSAH patients. A total of 30 poor-grade patients; those with elevated Lp-PLA2 level have higher risk of 6-mo mortality compared to those without.
