1 KISEP KOR J CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE March 2000 Vo. 2, No 1, page 24-9 자발성지주막하출혈환자의수술전등급 황성남 Preoperative Grading Systems of Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Sung-Nam Hwang, MD Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea ABSTRACT Since the first grading system of the subarachnoid hemorrhage was introduced by Botterell in 1956, various grading systems have been presented-mostly based on Botterell s or Glasgow Coma Scale-and studied for their universal validity. At the beginning, management plan for the patients solely depended on the grade of the applied grading system but after introduction of CT and microscope into the diagnosis and surgery for the aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and better understanding and management of vasospasm, the role of grading system has been changed to emphasize more on the predictability of the postsurgical outcome. The author reviewed the most popular and widely used grading systems to figure out their significance in predicting outcome and clinical applicability.
