Babaji Do we all understand the WFNS grading? Dr Nina Ghosh-Chowdhury Mr G Narenthiran Mr JP Holland
WFNS SAH grading • WFNS Committee • WFNS SAH Grade (1998): in JN, JNNP • No revisions since
WFNS SAH grading • GCS was the main determinant of mortality • In patients with GCS 13-14, presence of focal neurology signifies worse morbidity
Method • Registrars & Neurosurgeons & Endovascular Neuro-radiologists (n=13) • Questionnaire with clinical scenarios to grade with WFNS SAH grading system
Conclusion • There is considerable inter-observer variability • Could have impact on clinical studies of SAH patients where WFNS grading system is used. • Need a revised WFNS grading system
