OBJECTIVE: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular lesions at perpetual risk for rupture, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. This study sought to evaluate the dynamic relationship between comorbidities and post-procedure complications to quantify the risk of poor discharge outcomes to create a predictive outcomes model. METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2012 to 2015 was queried for AVM treatment using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes. The Neurovascular Comorbidities Index (NCI) quantified patient comorbidity burden. In-hospital complications included surgical and medical complications or seizures. The primary outcome was the NIS Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Outcome Measure (NIS-SOM). RESULTS: A total of 1363 patients were included. A total of 1330 patients (98%) underwent embolization, 28 (2%) underwent resection, and 9 (0.7%) underwent radiosurgery. A higher NCI was associated with the occurrence of any complication (odds ratio [OR], 1.30 if NCI = 2; P < 0.001). Higher NCI was also significantly associated with a poor NIS-SOM outcome (OR, 2.45 if NCI = 2 and no complications; P < 0.001). A ruptured AVM with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) increased the risk of in-hospital complications (OR, 2.16; P = 0.007) and a poor NIS-SOM outcome (OR, 3.18; P < 0.001). Various hypothetical patient scenarios and the predicted outcomes are also presented. CONCLUSION: Neurovascular comorbidities have a significant impact on poor functional outcomes at discharge in patients with and without complications following procedural management of AVMs. At the time of initial patient assessment, risk stratification strategies should take into account neurovascular comorbidities and potential complications. Such an approach would ultimately optimize patient outcomes and increase the value of care provided.
