Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a major cause of complications and death. Here, we set out to identify high-performance predictive biomarkers of DCI and its underlying metabolic disruptions using metabolomics and lipidomics approaches. This single-center prospective observational study enrolled 61 consecutive patients with severe aSAH; among them, 22 experienced a DCI. Nine patients without aSAH were included as validation controls. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were sampled within the first 24 h after admission. We identified a panel of 20 metabolites that, together, showed high predictive performance for DCI. This panel of metabolites included lactate, cotinine, salicylate, 6 phosphatidylcholines, and 4 sphingomyelins. The interplay of the metabolome and the lipidome found between CSF and plasma in our patients underscores that aSAH and its associated DCI complications can extend beyond cerebral implications, with a peripheral dimension as well. As an illustration, early biological disruptions that might explain the subsequent DCI found systemic hypoxia driven mainly by higher blood lactate, arginine, and proline metabolism likely associated with vascular NO and disrupted ceramide/sphingolipid metabolism. We conclude that targeting early peripheral hypoxia preceding DCI could provide an interesting strategy for the prevention of vascular dysfunction.
