Abstract
The presence of an external ventricular drain and increased daily CSF output (above 78 mL/day) seems to be predictive of subsequent VPS insertion after aSAH. Although we could not identify modifiable risk factors for needing a VPS, nevertheless, these findings identify patients at greatest risk of VPS placement and inform treatment decisions as well as patient expectations.
