Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with inflammation which may mediate poor outcome in SAH. We hypothesize that elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are associated with vasospasm and poor outcome in SAH. In 52 consecutive SAH subjects, we compared TNFα and IL-6 levels on post-SAH days 0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–8, and 10–14 with respect to vasospasm and to poor outcome at 3- and 6-months. Vasospasm was defined as >50% reduction in vessel caliber on angiography. Poor outcome was defined as modified Rankin score >2. Elevated TNFα on post-SAH days 2–3 was associated with poor 3-month outcome (p=0.0004). Global elevation of TNFα over time (post-SAH days 0–14) was independently associated with poor 3-month outcome after adjusting for Hunt-and-Hess grade and age (p=0.02). Neither cross-sectional nor IL-6 levels over time were associated with outcome. Neither TNFα nor IL-6 levels were associated with vasospasm. Elevation in serum TNFα on post-SAH days 2–3 and global elevation of TNFα over time are associated with poor outcome but not with angiographic vasospasm in this small cohort. Future studies are needed to define the role of TNFα in SAH-related brain injury and its potential as a SAH outcome biomarker.
