Background: Use of antiplatelet medications and warfarin has been associated with poor clinical outcomes in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, a head to head comparison between these groups has not been performed. We compared ICH outcomes among patients on these medications. Methods: In this cohort study, we analyzed 987 patients with ICH from the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive. Patients with ICH presented within six-hours of symptom onset had baseline clinical, radiological data, and computed tomographic scan at 72 hours. Hematoma expansion was defined as interval increase in size by >33%. Main outcome variables were 90-day mortality, and modified Rankin Score (mRS) at 90 days dichotomized into 0-3 vs 4-6. Results: Of 987 ICH patients 154 had prior antiplatelet use, 30 had warfarin, and 803 had neither of the two medications. The warfarin group had significantly higher age (p<0.001) and higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (p<0.001). Of the ICH characteristics, comparing warfarin, antiplatelet and no warfarin/antiplatelet cohorts, the warfarin group had lower Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores (p=0.049), higher intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) rate (p=0.010), and more hydrocephalus (p<0.001). Hematoma expansion at 72 hours was significantly higher with warfarin use (p=0.003), while the ratio of perihematomal edema volume to hematoma volume at 72 hours was lowest with warfarin use (p<0.001). In the logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, race, hematoma volume, perihematomal edema, GCS, IVH and hydrocephalus; warfarin patients had significantly lower odds of achieving mRS 0-3 (OR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.06-0.83, p=0.025), while the antiplatelet group had similar functional outcomes compared to no warfarin/antiplatelet use (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.46-1.23, p=0.260). The 90-day mortality outcomes were not significantly different across the three groups (18.7% to 40.3%, p=0.520). Conclusion: Warfarin use is associated with a higher incidence of hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage and hematoma expansion, but lesser perihematomal edema relative to the hematoma volume. Warfarin associated ICH appears to be independently associated with worse functional outcomes but not with 90-day mortality in ICH.

Abstract Background Neuroinflammation is important in the pathophysiology of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and peripheral inflammatory cells play a role in the clinical evolution and outcome. Methodology Blood samples from ICH patients (n = 20) were collected at admission for 5 consecutive days for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Frozen PBMCs were used for real-time PCR using Taqman probes (NFKB1, SOD1, PPARG, IL10, NFE2L2, and REL) and normalized to GAPDH. Data on hospital length of stay and modified Rankin score (MRS) were collected with 90-day MRS ≤ 3 as favorable outcome. Statistical analysis of clinical characteristics to temporal gene expression from early to delayed timepoints was compared for MRS groups (favorable vs unfavorable) and hematoma volume. Principle findings and results IL10, SOD1, and REL expression were significantly higher at delayed timepoints in PBMCs of ICH patients with favorable outcome. PPARG and REL increased between timepoints in patients with favorable outcome. NFKB1 expression was not sustained, but significantly decreased from higher levels at early onset in patients with unfavorable outcome. IL10 expression showed a negative correlation in patients with high hematoma volume (>30 mL). Conclusions and significance Anti-inflammatory, pro-survival regulators were highly expressed at delayed time points in ICH patients with a favorable outcome, and IL10 expression showed a negative correlation to high hematoma volume.

Background Nosocomial infections are frequent complications in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Objectives To determine the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of nosocomial infections in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Prospectively collected data on patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage between January 2009 and June 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who had nosocomial infection during the hospital stay were compared with patients who did not. Poor outcome was defined as death or discharge to a long-term nursing facility. Results At least 1 nosocomial infection developed in 26% of 202 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The most common infections were pneumonia (18%), urinary tract infection (12%), meningitis or ventriculitis (3%), and bacteremia (1%). On univariate analysis, independent predictors of nosocomial infection were intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, low score on the Glasgow Coma Scale at admission, hyperglycemia at admission, and treatment with mechanical ventilation. On multivariate regression analysis, the only significant predictor of nosocomial infection was intraventricular hemorrhage (odds ratio, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.2–11.4; P = .02). Patients with nosocomial infection were more likely than those without to require a percutaneous gastrostomy tube (odds ratio, 33.1, 95% CI, 23.3–604.4; P &lt; .001) and to have a longer stay in the intensive care unit or hospital without a significant increase in mortality. Patients with nosocomial pneumonia were also more likely to have a poor outcome (P &lt; .001). Conclusion Pneumonia was the most common infection among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

The Relationship

Background and Purpose: There have been conflicting reports regarding the association between peri-hematomal edema (PHE) in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and outcome. We hypothesized that PHE expansion rate from baseline to 24 hours predicts mortality and poor functional outcome after ICH. Methods: ICH, PHE and intraventricular hemorrhage volumes were measured for 139 subjects who presented with primary ICH and received head computed tomography scans at baseline and 24-hours post-ICH. Subjects were retrospectively identified from a prospective cohort study of ICH. Inclusion criteria were age over 18 years with primary spontaneous supratentorial ICH. Exclusion criteria were infratentorial hemorrhage, primary intraventricular hemorrhage, or any suspected cause of secondary ICH. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between PHE expansion rate and 90-day mortality and functional outcome. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score > 2. Results: There was a strong association between PHE expansion rate and mortality (OR 1.42, p = 0.0025) and a trend in the correlation between PHE expansion rate and poor outcome (OR 1.50, p = 0.07). In a multivariable model accounting for hematoma volume and time from symptom onset to 24 hour scan, PHE expansion rate was a significant predictor of mortality (OR 1.07, p = 0.032). In a multivariable model accounting for hematoma volume, age, Glasgow Coma Scale score, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage and time from symptom onset to 24 hour scan, PHE expansion rate predicted poor functional outcome (OR 2.58, p = 0.05). Conclusions: PHE expansion rate predicts outcome in ICH and may represent a novel therapeutic target.

Object Surgical evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains a subject of controversy. Minimally invasive techniques for hematoma evacuation have shown a trend toward improved outcomes. The aim of the present study is to describe a minimally invasive alternative for the evacuation of sICH and evaluate its feasibility. Methods The authors reviewed records of all patients who underwent endoscopic evacuation of an sICH at the UCLA Medical Center between March 2002 and March 2011. All patients in whom the described technique was used for evacuation of an sICH were included in this series. In this approach an incision is made at the superior margin of the eyebrow, and a bur hole is made in the supraorbital bone lateral to the frontal sinus. Using stereotactic guidance, the surgeon advanced the endoscopic sheath along the long axis of the hematoma and fixed it in place at two specific depths where suction was then applied until 75%–85% of the preoperatively determined hematoma volume was removed. An endoscope's camera, then introduced through the sheath, was used to assist in hemostasis. Preoperative and postoperative hematoma volumes and reduction in midline shift were calculated and recorded. Admission Glasgow Coma Scale and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were compared with postoperative scores. Results Six patients underwent evacuation of an sICH using the eyebrow/bur hole technique. The mean preoperative hematoma volume was 68.9 ml (range 30.2–153.9 ml), whereas the mean postoperative residual hematoma volume was 11.9 ml (range 5.1–24.1 ml) (p = 0.02). The mean percentage of hematoma evacuated was 79.2% (range 49%–92.7%). The mean reduction in midline shift was 57.8% (p < 0.01). The Glasgow Coma Scale score improved in each patient between admission and discharge examination. In 5 of the 6 patients the mRS score improved from admission exam to last follow-up. None of the patients experienced rebleeding. Conclusions This minimally invasive technique is a feasible alternative to other means of evacuating sICHs. It is intended for anterior basal ganglia hematomas, which usually have an elongated, ovoid shape. The approach allows for an optimal trajectory to the long axis of the hematoma, making it possible to evacuate the vast majority of the clot with only one pass of the endoscopic sheath, theoretically minimizing the amount of damage to normal brain.
