Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate metabolite levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and their correlation with clinical outcome.

Methods: Eighty CSF samples of 16 patients with treated intracranial aneurysms were analyzed. The study population included patients undergoing emergency endovascular/microsurgical treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms (n=8). Control samples were collected intraoperatively during elective aneurysm surgery (n=8). The CSF samples after aSAH were consecutively collected via external ventricular drain (EVD) placement/intraoperatively, 6 hours later, and daily thereafter (day 1-10). The endogenous metabolites were analyzed with a targeted quantitative and quality controlled metabolomics approach using the Absolute IDQ® p180 Kit. Clinical outcome at discharge and follow-up of 6 months was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and divided into favorable (mRS 0-1) and unfavorable outcome (mRS 2-5).

Results: Several amino acid (AA) levels were increased in the CSF of patients with unfavorable outcome (n=4) compared to the group with elective aneurysm surgery (n=8, p<0.05) and favorable outcome (n=4; p<0.05). Elevated concentrations of asparagin, citrulline, glycine, histidin, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, proline, ornithine, valine, kynurenine, symmetric dimethylarginine and asymmetric dimethylarginine were associated with poor outcome (p<0.05). Additionally, elevation of glucogenic AA concentration strongly correlated with aSAH and unfavorable outcome (p=0.02). The level of branched-chain AA was higher in aSAH-patients compared to controls (p<0.05). The ratio of ornithine/arginine and citrulline/arginine were increased in aSAH patients with poor outcome (p<0.01). Several phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin concentrations were increased after aSAH and associated with unfavorable outcome.

Conclusion: Numerous significantly elevated CSF-metabolites/compounds were found in patients with unfavorable outcome (mRS 2-5). Their value as potential biomarkers deserves further investigation.
