Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention
Corticosteroids for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and primary intracerebral haemorrhage
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
-
To determine whether corticosteroid therapy reduces the proportion of patients who die or have a poor outcome at one and six months after the onset of SAH or PICH.
-
To determine whether corticosteroid therapy reduces the frequency of DCI in patients with SAH.
-
To determine the frequency of adverse effects of corticosteroid therapy in patients with SAH and PICH within six months of the onset of the event.
