The investigators investigated the predictive ability of clinical and radiological scores, including the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Hunt-Hess, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS), and modified Fisher scales, as well as combined clinical scores such as the VASOGRADE and Ogilvy-Carter rating scales, for 28-day mortality in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that combined clinical scores are more reliable and superior to non-combined clinical and radiological scores in predicting 28-day mortality in non-traumatic SAH.
Patients were divided into survivors and non-survivors, with surviving patients further categorized as either mobile or immobile based on the Glasgow outcome scale. Accordingly, patients who were dependent on daily support or in a coma were classified as immobile, whereas patients who had returned to normal life or were independent in their daily activities were classified as mobile. The demographic (age and sex), comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus [DM] and/or coronary artery disease [CAD]), vital signs (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation [sPO2]), and clinical assessment tools (GCS, Hunt Hess, WFNS, modified Fisher, VASOGRADE, and Ogilvy-Carter rating scales) on admission were compared between the groups to identify factors associated with 28-day mortality and neurological survival. Independent predictors of mortality were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis of variables (demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, and trauma scores) that differed significantly between survivors and non-survivors. An area under the curve (AUC) analysis was then conducted to identify which trauma score is the most reliable and superior predictor of mortality.

| Glasgow coma scale | Other | The levels of response in the components of the Glasgow Coma Scale are 'scored' from 1, for no response, up to normal values of 4 (Eye-opening response) 5 ( Verbal response) and 6 (Motor response) The total Coma Score thus has values between three and 15, three being the worst and 15 being the highest. |

This multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study enrolled 451 consecutive adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) who presented to the emergency departments of the six major and highest-volume tertiary hospitals in Istanbul with non-traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage between September 2020 and September 2023. Data were collected by searching for I60.9 International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes in the hospital's automation systems and archives.

| Hunt-Hess scale | Other | The Hunt-Hess scale was used to assess SAH severity according to the clinical presentation and the visible neurological deficits. The Grades run from 1 to 5:
|
|
| World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) scale | Other | The World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) scale, introduced in 1988, is used to evaluate the clinical severity of patients with SAH. This scale is derived from the GCS score and considers the presence of motor deficits:
|
|
| modified Fisher scale | Other | The modified Fisher scale was used to evaluate SAH severity by reference to the extent of hemorrhage as revealed by CT of the brain. Four grades are depending on the degree of bleeding observed:
|
|
| VASOGRADE scale | Other | The VASOGRADE scale was established to estimate the risk of delayed cerebral ischemia following SAH. This scale is based on the WFNS and the modified Fisher scales at admission. There are three categories:
|
|
| Ogilvy and Carter scale | Other | The Ogilvy and Carter scale is a grading system used to predict the outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with SAH due to a ruptured aneurysm. The scale considers multiple factors, including age, Hunt and Hess grade, Fisher grade, and aneurysm size, with a score assigned to each of these variables:
