abstract = {Dysregulation of temperature in aneurysmal subarachnoid
hemorrhage (aSAH) patients may worsen neurological outcomes.
Fever and hypothermia could be related to infection,
inflammation, or loss of central temperature control.
However, longitudinal studies on temperature extremes and
outcomes are lacking. This post-hoc analysis of the
Earlydrain trial examines the prognostic significance of
body temperature during the first 8 days of neurocritical
care.We analyzed data from 287 patients, using Generalized
Estimating Equations to investigate clinically used
thresholds for intervention on body temperature. Statistical
models were adjusted for hemorrhage severity, age,
intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage, infection and
the use of a lumbar drainage. We assessed the impact of
different temperature thresholds on the modified Rankin
Scale (mRS) at 180 days and the incidence of secondary
infarctions.Extreme temperatures were associated with worse
180-day outcomes. In univariate analysis, all investigated
temperature thresholds (>38.0 °C, >38.2 °C, > 39.0 °C, as
well as <36.0 °C) were associated with worse outcome. In
multivariate analysis, temperatures above 39 °C and below
36 °C increased the odds of an unfavorable mRS >2 (ORadj =
2.60, p = 0.002 and ORadj = 3.82, p = 0.02, respectively).
The development of secondary infarctions was not
significantly related to temperature extremes.Extreme
temperature values significantly influence outcomes in aSAH.
Maintaining normothermia may improve prognosis, warranting
prospective studies for targeted temperature management.},
