Background: In the pediatric population, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is as common as ischemic stroke and accounts for significant mortality and morbidity. Differently from the ischemic stroke, there are few guidelines for directing management of sICH. This article aims to analyze both clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in order to produce tools for the design of prospective randomized studies addressed to implement treatment of pediatric sICH. Methods: Twelve-year retrospective review of a single-center consecutivesICH pediatric cases admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Selected end points were survival, PICU stay, and dichotomized Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS), with recovery and moderate disability (GOS 4-5) classified as favorable outcome and vegetative state or severe disability (GOS 2-3) classified as unfavorable. Results: Data of 107 children younger than 14 years admitted to our PICU due to sICH were analyzed. Overall PICU mortality was 24.2%. On multivariate analysis, the single factor markedly influencing survival was the presence of midline shift ( P = .002). In PICU survivors, there were 42 GOS 2-3 and 39 GOS 4-5. A low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on PICU admission was predictive of severe neurological impairment in survivors ( P = .003). Intraventricular hemorrhage and infratentorial origin did not influence outcome in this series. Conclusion: The severity of presentation of sICH expressed by the midline shift and the GCS at PICU admission are significant prognostic factors for survival and neurological outcome. Some prognostic factors of the adult population have not been confirmed.

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is related to increased risk of cardiovascular events and is also closely associated with adverse outcomes after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. However, there are limited data about the effect of ALP on clinical outcomes after ICH. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ALP level and prognosis in ICH patients.Methods: From January 2014 to September 2016, 939 patients with spontaneous ICH were enrolled in our study from 13 hospitals in Beijing. Patients were categorized into four groups based on the ALP quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4). The main outcomes were 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 3–6). Multivariable logistic regression and interaction analyses were performed to evaluate the relationships between ALP and clinical outcomes after ICH.Results: In the logistic regression analysis, compared with the third quartile of ALP, the adjusted odds ratios of the Q1, Q2, and Q4 for 30-day poor functional outcome were 1.31 (0.80–2.15), 1.16 (0.71–1.89), and 2.16 (1.32–3.55). In terms of 90-day and 1-year poor functional outcomes, the risks were significantly higher in the highest quartile of ALP compared with the third quartile after adjusting the confounding factors [90-day: highest quartile OR = 1.86 (1.12–3.10); 1-year: highest quartile OR = 2.26 (1.34–3.80)]. Moreover, there was no significant interaction between ALP and variables like age or sex.Conclusions: High ALP level (>94.8 U/L) was independently associated with 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year poor functional outcomes in ICH patients. Serum ALP might serve as a predictor for poor functional outcomes after ICH onset.

Abstract Spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage or intracranial hemorrhage accounts for 10-15% of all strokes. Intracranial hemorrhage is much less common than ischemic stroke, but has higher mortality and morbidity, one of the leading causes of severe disability. Various alterations, among these the endocrine were identified when an intracerebral hemorrhage, these stress-mediated mechanisms exacerbate secondary injury. Deep knowledge of the injuries which are directly involved alterations of glucose, offers insight as cytotoxicity, neuronal death and metabolic dysregulations alter the prognosis of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract Introduction Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is one of the most devastating forms of stroke with a mortality of 30 to 40%. We aimed to evaluate the effect of craniotomy size and volume of decompression on surgical outcome, complications, mortality, and morbidity in patients with supratentorial capsuloganglionic bleeds who underwent a decompressive craniectomy (DC) at our institute. Materials and Methods It is a retrospective study done between January 2015 and December 2019. All patients with capsuloganglionic bleeds who had DC and hematoma evacuation were included in the study. Results A total of 55 patients underwent DC for SICH at our hospital during the study period. Mean anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the bone flap was 12.42 cm. The volume of decompression did not influence mortality and morbidity in our study but a larger AP diameter was associated with a higher incidence of hydrocephalus. A smaller craniectomy with an AP diameter of < 12 cm caused a lesser reduction in midline shift (MLS). Persistent postoperative MLS had a significant impact on mortality and its reduction was dependent on the size of craniectomy (p =–0.037) Conclusion DC with a recommended AP diameter of 12 to 13 cm achieves optimal results in terms of reduction in MLS. Larger DC volume carries a higher risk of hydrocephalus and requires close follow-up.

Introduction: Many studies have reported endovascular revascularization therapy (ERT) in children with Childhood Acute Ischemic Stroke (CAIS). With the recent expansion of thrombectomy windows via DAWN/DEFUSE3, more pediatric stroke patients are likely to be potential candidates for intervention. The prevalence of Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) in the adult population is 25-33% however the prevalence and natural history of LVO in the pediatric population have not yet been described. Methods: This is an IRB approved single center observational study by retrospective chart review of all CAIS who presented acutely to our center from 2004 to 2019. Components of Chart review: Vessel involvement, Mortality/dependency, PSOM and MRS, Etiology, Intervention/Time window of presentation/eligibility for DAWN/DEFUSE, treatment (thrombolysis, ERT), and outcome. Results: 48/218 (22%) of patients with CAIS had an acute presentation consistent with LVO (95% CI 16.7-28.1%). Of the patients with LVO, 23 (46%) were due to large vessel arteriopathy, 15(30%) were cardioembolic, 4 had a hypercoagulable state and 7 were cryptogenic. Ages ranged from day of life 1 to 18 years. 6 (12%) patients died within 2 years of LVO (3 of stroke, 3 from other causes). 5 of the 218 patients reviewed received thrombolysis, with 4/48 LVO patients received thrombolytics. 5/49 LVO patients underwent ERT (4 with at least TICI 2A reperfusion). Average age of LVO patients 14.2 years. PSOM/ comparative outcome data collection is ongoing. Conclusion: Prevalence of LVO has not yet been described in the pediatric population. At our center, 22.4% of CAIS patients had imaging consistent with large vessel occlusion at presentation. This rate is close to that of the adult population (25-33%). Many children have tolerated ERT with good outcomes. Time windows may be less applicable in children given presence of better collaterals and good cardiovascular function. More data is needed regarding the use of advanced imaging modalities for patient stratification in acute neurovascular intervention. Different inclusion criteria may be necessary given improved outcomes among children without intervention.
