Long Term Mortality

Background Factors associated with long-term mortality after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have been poorly investigated. Aim Our objective was to identify variables associated with long-term mortality in a prospective cohort of 30-day ICH survivors. Methods We prospectively included consecutive 30-day spontaneous ICH survivors. We evaluated baseline and follow-up clinical characteristics and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of chronic brain injury as variables associated with long-term mortality using univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models. Results Of 560 patients with spontaneous ICH, 304 (54.2%) survived more than 30 days and consented for follow-up. During a median follow-up of 10 years (interquartile range: 8.0–10.5), 176 patients died. The cumulative survival rate at 10 years was 38%. In multivariable analysis, variables independently associated with long-term mortality were age (hazard ratio (HR) per 10-year increase: 1.68, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.45–1.95), male gender (HR: 1.41, CI: 1.02–1.95), prestroke dependency (HR: 1.66, CI: 1.15–2.39), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (HR per 1-point increase: 1.03, CI: 1.01–1.04), occurrence of any stroke (HR: 2.24, CI: 1.39–3.60), and dementia (HR: 1.51, CI: 1.06–2.16) during follow-up. Among MRI markers, only cerebral atrophy (HR per 1-point increase: 1.50, CI: 1.13–2.00) was independently associated with long-term mortality. Conclusions Preexisting comorbidities, clinical severity at presentation, and significant clinical event during follow-up are associated with long-term mortality. Among MRI markers of chronic brain injury, only cerebral atrophy is associated with long-term mortality.

Objective This study aimed at identifying the incidence, predictors, and impact on long-term mortality and dementia of early-onset delirium in a cohort of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods We prospectively recruited consecutive patients in the Prognosis of InTra-Cerebral Hemorrhage (PITCH) cohort and analyzed incidence rate of early-onset delirium (i.e. during the first seven days after intracerebral hemorrhage onset) with a competing risk model. We used a multivariable Fine-Gray model to identify baseline predictors, a Cox regression model to study its impact on the long-term mortality risk, and a Fine-Gray model adjusted for pre-specified confounders to analyze its impact on new-onset dementia. Results The study population consisted of 248 patients (mean age 70 years, 54% males). Early-onset delirium incidence rate was 29.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 24.3–35.6). Multivariate analysis showed that pre-existing dementia (subhazard ratio (SHR) 2.08, 95%CI 1.32–3.32, p = 0.002), heavy alcohol intake (SHR 1.79, 95%CI 1.13–2.82, p = 0.013), and intracerebral hemorrhage lobar location (SHR 1.56, 95%CI 1.01–2.42, p = 0.049) independently predicted early-onset delirium. Median follow-up was 9.5 years. Early-onset delirium was associated with higher mortality rates during the first five years of follow-up (HR 1.52, 95%CI 1.00–2.31, p = 0.049), but did not predict new-onset dementia (SHR 1.31, 95%CI 0.60–2.87). Conclusion Early-onset delirium is a frequent complication after intracerebral hemorrhage; it is associated with markers of pre-existing brain vulnerability and with higher mortality risk, but not with higher dementia rates during long-term follow-up.

Background: Alcohol overuse (AO) is considered a cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but the clinical and outcome characteristics of these patients (AO+ICH) are not well known. Methods: All patients with ICH admitted from January 2005 to June 2015 to a single university tertiary stroke center were prospectively studied and followed up during 5 years. Demographic features, radiological characteristics, and clinical outcome of patients with acute ICH and previous heavy alcohol intake (>40 gr/day or >300 gr/week) were analyzed. Results: During the study period, 609 patients with ICH were admitted. Nineteen patients were excluded because data on alcohol intake was not available. At admission, 83 patients (13.6%) were identified with AO (22.7% of men vs 2.9% of women; p< 0.0001) and was more frequent in younger patients (mean age, 63.11 years, compared to 72.7 years overall; p< 0.0001). Smoking was associated with AO (63,9% vs 13,8% non-AO; p< 0.0001) but not significant differences were found according with cardiovascular risk factors (dyslipidemia, diabetes and hypertension). ICH score was lower in the AO group (1.3 vs 1.8, p= 0.009) and deep ICH were more frequent (p= 0.036), compared to non-AO. Adjusted by sex, age, and high blood pressure, a trend in favor of increased deep ICH in AO patients remained (HR: 1.68 [95% CI: 0.92-3.05], p= 0.086). Adjusted mortality at 3-month, 12-month, and 5-year follow-up was similar in both groups. Conclusions: AO was present in 13.6% of ICH patients. These patients were an average of 11.5 years younger, predominantly men, and smokers, compared to the non-AO group. Adjusted short-term and long-term mortality was similar in AO and non-AO groups.

Background: A post-hoc analysis of the PROGRESS trial suggested that long-term anti-hypertensive therapy prevents intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). However, the burden of underlying hypertension in patients with CAA is unclear, and it is also unclear whether this hypertensive burden contributes to long-term outcome in survivors of CAA-related ICH. Left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy is a measure of the chronicity and severity of hypertension and could be used to assess hypertensive end-organ damage in patients with CAA. Objective: To test the hypothesis that LV hypertrophy is common in patients with CAA-related ICH and is associated with increased long-term mortality and shorter survival in those patients. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with primary ICH presenting to a single academic center. We included patients presenting between January/2000 to December/2010, age > 55 years, who received a transthoracic echocardiogram (echo) during follow-up and were diagnosed with definitive, probable or possible CAA according to the Boston criteria. LV mass index (10g/m2) was calculated according to Penn convention. Ninety-day survivors were followed prospectively for long-term mortality or censoring at January/2012. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify predictors of mortality as time-dependent variables adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Among 211 patients who met inclusion criteria, the mean time to follow-up was 4.28 ± 2.7 years; the median time to echocardiogram was 3 days (IQR:49). The mean age was 75.7 ± 9.1 years; 103 (49%) were male. LV hypertrophy was present in 55 (31.8%) patients and 152 (72%) patients survived more than 90 days. In multivariate analysis, after adjusting for baseline characteristics, LV mass index (10g/m2) was associated with higher long-term mortality (HR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.01-1.4; p=0.039). On Cox-regression, LV hypertrophy was independently associated with shorter long-term survival (HR 1.91; 95%CI 1.05-3.47; p=0.034). Conclusions: LV hypertrophy is common in patients with CAA-related ICH and is associated with increased risk of subsequent mortality among 90-day survivors.

Abstract Background To evaluate the value of Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) in predicting long-term mortality and survival in patients who have undergone endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods A retrospective single-center study of 257 patients with non-ruptured AAA undergoing EVAR between January 2013 and 2021. GAS scores were compared between the survivors and the long term mortality groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off values of GAS values to determine the effect on late-mortality. Results 257 patients with a mean age of 69.75 ± 7.75 (46–92) underwent EVAR due to AAA. Forty-nine mortalities were observed, 4 (1.5%) were in-hospital mortalities. Fourty-five (17.8%) of the mortalities occured during the long-term follow-up. The average follow up period was 18.98 ± 22.84 months (0–88). GAS values were higher in the long-term mortality group compared to the survivors group (81.02 ± 10.33 vs 73.73 ± 10.46; p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve for GAS was 0.682 and for a 56% sensitivity rate, the cut-off value for GAS was 77.5 with a specificity of 64% (p < 0.001). The number of patients with GAS values < 77.5 was 155, whilst 98 had GAS values > 77.5. The mortality rates in patients with GAS < 77.5 and GAS > 77.5 were: 12.8% (n = 20) and 24.8% (n = 25), respectively (p = 0.014). Every 1 point increase in GAS score resulted in a 1.06 fold increase in risk of late mortality (OR: 1.06, 95% CI, 1.03–1.09; p < 0.001). Moreover, every 10 point increase in GAS score resulted in almost a 2 fold increase in risk of long-term mortality (OR: 1.8, 95% CI, 1.3–2.5; p < 0.001). The mean survival rate of the patients during the follow up period was 90.6% for the 1st year, 82.6% for the 3rd year and 70.0% for the 5th year. Five year survival rates in patients with GAS < 77.5 and > 77.5 were 75.7% and 61.7%, respectively (p = 0.013). Conclusion Every 10 point increase in GAS score resulted in almost a 2 fold increase in risk of long-term mortality. Moreover, the mortality rates in patients above the GAS cut off value almost doubled compared to those below. Five year survival rates were 14% higher in those with GAS below the cut off value when compared to those above.

AbstractWe aimed to investigate whether elevated liver enzymes in the adult population were associated with mortality due to infection. As a population-based cohort study, data from the National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort were used. Adult individuals (aged ≥ 40 years) who underwent standardized medical examination between 2002 and 2003 were included, and infectious mortality was defined as mortality due to infection between 2004 and 2015. Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP), AST/ALT ratio, and dynamic AST/ALT ratio (dAAR) were included in multivariable Cox modeling. A total of 512,746 individuals were included in this study. Infectious mortality occurred in 2444 individuals (0.5%). In the multivariable model, moderate and severe elevation in AST was associated with 1.94-fold [hazard ratio (HR):1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.71–2.19; P < 0.001] and 3.93-fold (HR: 3.93, 95% CI 3.05–5.07; P < 0.001) higher infectious mortality respectively, compared with the normal AST group. Similar results were observed for moderate and severe elevation in ALT and mild, moderate, and severe elevation in γ-GTP. Additionally, a 1-point increase in the AST/ALT ratio and dAAR was associated with higher infection mortality. Elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT, AST/ALT ratio, γ-GTP, and dAAR) were associated with increased infectious mortality.
