| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The timing of definitive aneurysm treatment (coiling or clipping) in acute aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage was a subject of controversy. Although most vascular neurosurgeons agreed on early aneurysm treatment (within the first 72 hours), whether ultra-early aneurysm treatment (within the first 24 hours) was beneficial remained debatable. We aimed to investigate whether ultra-early aneurysm treatment is associated with better neurological outcome in all patients or only good-grade patients or only poor-grade patients. METHODS: Two-hundred and seventy-six (84%) patients had hemorrhage onset time and aneurysm treatment time available for analysis. Values of P < 0.05 were taken as statistically significant, and P values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered to be a trend. RESULTS: For the 96 poor-grade (World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grading scale 4 to 5) patients, there was a significant association between Short Form-36 mental scores and ultra-early aneurysm treatment (50 ± 10 vs. 46 ± 10, P = 0.019) and a trend toward association between ultra-early surgery and favorable neurological outcome (odds ratio 2.4 [95% confidence interval 1.0 to 6.0], P = 0.062). A reduction in clinical rebleeding (12% vs. 22%, P = 0.168) was observed in patients undergoing ultra-early aneurysm treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Aneurysm treatment performed within the 24-hour window may be associated with a better outcome and halve the clinical rebleeding risk in poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
