1 TURN IT UP TO 11: LP IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF SAH Matt Greer February 10 th, 2015
2 IN CASE YOU MISSED THE REFERENCE
3 HEADACHES IN THE ED Account for approximately 2% of ED visits 1% of these are due to SAH Approximately 14% get imaging Only 5% of these show pathology
4 SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE Incidence: 6-10 per 100,000 in general population 10% die prior to arrival Mean age X more likely in women Risk factors: Smoking, females, binge EtOH, previous hx, family hx, connective tissue d/o
5
6 PRESENTATION 33% have headache as only symptom 8% have classic thunderclap headache 50% are neurologically intact Thunderclap h/a and normal neuro exam 12% chance it s SAH
7 IMPORTANT Type of pain / location of pain has no predictability Resolution of pain with or without treatment has no predictability
8 CAUSES (NON-TRAUMATIC) 80% are aneurysmal (these are the ones we are most interested in) Perimensencephalic (most common non-aneurysmal) These generally do very well without intervention AVM, dural AV fistula, cavernous angioma, vasculitis, amyloid angiopathy, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis there are more
9 DIAGNOSIS Current recommendations from AHA and ACEP Unenhanced CT, followed by lumbar puncture if initial CT is negative for SAH But CTs are getting better do we still need the LP? This debate has been ongoing in the literature since at least 1995
10 CHARACTERISTICS OF MOST STUDIES
11 INCLUSION CRITERIA >15 years of age Headache or syncope with associated headache Non-traumatic (within last 7 days) Acute h/a (peak intensity within 1 hour of onset) GCS 15
12 EXCLUSION CRITERIA > 14 days since onset of headache 3 or more headaches of similar character in last 6 months Focal neurologic deficit Papilledema Hx of SAH or aneurysm Ventricular shunt Intracranial neoplasm
13 + SAH IN STUDIES Subarachoid blood on CT Xanthochromia in CSF > 5 X 10^6 RBCs in 4 th tube with aneurysm on CTA or catheter angiography
14 CT AND LP APPROACH We know a few things: CT sensitivity decreases with time from onset? Best < 6 hrs from onset LP sensitivity increases with time Best >12 hrs after onset Some suggest even better a few days later
15 IS THIS APPROACH GOOD ENOUGH? Perry et al Prospective cohort over 3 years 592 patients with sudden onset h/a who had CT, then LP if CT negative 61 diagnosed with SAH Sensitivity of 100% (94-100) Specificity 67% (63-71)
16 WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS THEN? There were limitations to the study Lost to follow up of 19% (although checked for further visits/deaths in their region) Traumatic taps were considered SAH if > 5 X 10^6 RBCs on last tube AND positive CTA LPs have risks/morbidity associated Post LP headaches Infections, epidural hematomas, pain, etc LPs can be difficult to interpret No well agreed upon way to determine traumatic tap
17 CT FOR SAH Perry et al 2011 Prospective cohort study 3132 patients, 240 with SAH Sensitivity all comers = 92.9% ( ) < 6 hours (953 patients) = 100% > 6 hours 17 of 119 SAH were missed! = sens 85.7% New generation CT scanner (3 rd generation??) Qualified radiologist (neuro or one who reads head CTs routinely)
18 CT FOR SAH Backes et al Prospective cohort of 250 patients (consecutive) Sensitivity was 98.5% if CT < 6 hours But was 100% if pt presented with h/a (1 was missed as was a cervical AVM with acute neck pain) > 6 hours 92% sensitivity CT read by neuroradiologists only, xanthochromia by spectrophotometry
19 LUMBAR PUNCTURE These can be technically difficult Can be difficult to interpret What is a positive result? Can be painful for patients Often causes a more intense headache! Risk of infection, bleeding, need for blood patch, etc.
20 CSF ANALYSIS Most sensitive for SAH > 12 hours, < 2 weeks from onset of h/a Xanthochromia is considered a positive result But how is xanthochromia determined?
21 XANTHOCHROMIA When RBCs are lysed, they release oxyhemoglobin This is then broken down by macrophages! bilirubin Visual xanthochromia can be caused by either of the above If just oxyhgb could be from traumatic tap If just bilirubin can be caused by elevated serum bilirubin If both likely SAH Can also be caused by drugs like rifampin
22 XANTHOCHROMIA Arora et al retrospective chart review of patients with imaging confirmed SAH 47% had positive xanthochromia, 53% negative by visual inspection Chu et al systematic review of spectrophotometry vs visual analysis for xanthocchromia in SAH Spec 87% sensitive, 86% specific Visual 83% sensitive, 96% specific Lots of problems with review, heterogeneity, defining the outcome, etc.
23 WHAT ABOUT TRAUMATIC TAPS? Decreasing RBC count from 1 st to 4 th tube HOW MUCH OF DECREASE? Heasley et al Looked at 25% reduction in RBCs Small numbers, not a great study 2 of 8 patients with 25% reduction were found to have an aneurysm on CTA
24 HOW ABOUT JUST DOING A CTA? 2-5% of people have aneurysm in population CTA does not tell you if the aneurysm is leaking How do you (neurosurgery) decide which to treat? Asymptomatic aneurysms have a low bleed rate (~6% annually)
25 WHAT DO WE DO?!?!?!?!?!?
26
27 CONCLUSIONS No great answers yet, though imaging appears to be where this is headed Evidence suggests CT within 6 hours is good enough, as long as: Qualified radiologist Modern scanner (ours is a 64 slice, we also have a 16) Normal neuro exam Acute headache (not isolated neck pain) The rest need some combination of LP/CTA if initial CT negative
28 OTTAWA SAH RULE Investigate if 1 or more of: Age 40 or older Neck pain/stiffness Witnessed LOC Onset during exertion Thunderclap headache (instantly peaking pain) Limited neck flexion on exam (chin to chest, or lift head > 8cm off bed)
29 OTTAWA SAH RULE Sensitivity of 100% (97.2% - 100%) Specificity of 15.3% ( ) One external validation study showed sensitivity of 100% ( ) and specificity of 7.6% ( ) This was a medical record review of 454 applicable charts (only 9% of headaches could be included) This rule is probably not quite ready for prime time yet
