ObjectiveTo investigate whether the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) without infection as surrogate of a systemic immune response is associated with poor long-term functional outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsWe analyzed consecutive patients with spontaneous ICH from our prospective cohort study (2018–2015). SIRS was defined according to standard criteria: i.e., 2 or more of the following parameters during hospitalization: body temperature <36°C or >38°C, respiratory rate >20 per minute, heart rate >90 per minute, or white blood cell count <4,000/μL or >12,000/μL in the absence of infection. The primary outcome consisted of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 and 12 months investigated by adjusted ordinal shift analyses. Bias and confounding were addressed by propensity score matching and multivariable regression models.ResultsOf 780 patients with ICH, 21.8% (n = 170) developed SIRS during hospitalization. Patients with SIRS showed more severe ICH compared with those without; i.e., larger ICH volumes (18.3 cm3, interquartile range [IQR 4.6–47.2 cm3] vs 7.4 cm3, IQR [2.4–18.6 cm3]; p < 0.01), increased intraventricular hemorrhage (57.6%, n = 98/170 vs 24.8%, n = 79/319; p < 0.01), and poorer neurologic admission status (NIH Stroke Scale score 16, IQR [7–30] vs 6, IQR [3–12]; p < 0.01). ICH severity-adjusted analyses revealed an independent association of SIRS with poorer functional outcome after 3 (OR 1.80, 95% CI [1.08–3.00]; p = 0.025) and 12 months (OR 1.76, 95% CI [1.04–2.96]; p = 0.034). Increased ICH volumes on follow-up imaging (OR 1.38, 95% CI [1.01–1.89]; p = 0.05) and previous liver dysfunction (OR 3.01, 95% CI [1.03–10.19]; p = 0.04) were associated with SIRS.ConclusionsIn patients with ICH, we identified SIRS to be predictive of poorer long-term functional outcome over the entire range of mRS estimates. Clinically relevant associations with SIRS were documented for previous liver dysfunction and hematoma enlargement.

Baseline Characteristics

Background and Purpose: Hemispheric location might influence outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). INTERACT suggested higher short-term mortality in right hemispheric ICH, yet statistical imbalances were not addressed. This study aimed at determining the differences in long-term functional outcome in patients with right- vs. left-sided ICH with a priori-defined sub-analysis of lobar vs. deep bleedings. Methods: Data from a prospective hospital registry were analyzed including patients with ICH admitted between January 2006 and August 2014. Data were retrieved from institutional databases. Outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Outcome measures (long-term mortality and functional outcome at 12 months) were correlated with ICH location and hemisphere, and the imbalances of baseline characteristics were addressed by propensity score matching. Results: A total of 831 patients with supratentorial ICH (429 left and 402 right) were analyzed. Regarding clinical baseline characteristics in the unadjusted overall cohort, there were differences in disfavor of right-sided ICH (antiplatelets: 25.2% in left ICH vs. 34.3% in right ICH; p < 0.01; previous ischemic stroke: 14.7% in left ICH vs. 19.7% in right ICH; p = 0.057; and presence/extent of intraventricular hemorrhage: 45.0% in left ICH vs. 53.0% in right ICH; p = 0.021; Graeb-score: 0 [0-4] in left ICH vs. 1 [0-5] in right ICH; p = 0.017). While there were no differences in mortality and in the proportion of patients with favorable vs. unfavorable outcome (mRS 0-3: 142/375 [37.9%] in left ICH vs. 117/362 [32.3%] in right ICH; p = 0.115), patients with left-sided ICH showed excellent outcome more frequently (mRS 0-1: 64/375 [17.1%] in left ICH vs. 43/362 [11.9%] in right ICH; p = 0.046) in the unadjusted analysis. After adjusting for confounding variables, a well-balanced group of patients (n = 360/hemisphere) was compared showing no differences in long-term functional outcome (mRS 0-3: 36.4% in left ICH vs. 33.9% in right ICH; p = 0.51). Sub-analyses of patients with deep vs. lobar ICH revealed also no differences in outcome measures (mRS 0-3: 53/151 [35.1%] in left deep ICH vs. 53/165 [32.1%] in right deep ICH; p = 0.58). Conclusion: Previously described differences in clinical end points among patients with left- vs. right-hemispheric ICH may be driven by different baseline characteristics rather than by functional deficits emerging from different hemispheric functions affected. After statistical corrections for confounding variables, there was no impact of hemispheric location on functional outcome after ICH.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Preclinical and preliminary clinical data suggests that early minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation may convey a functional outcome benefit. Ongoing clinical trials permit an operative window extending out to 72 h. Here we present long term functional outcome after MIS endoscopic ICH evacuation with a focus on time to evacuation. METHODS Minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation was performed on patients with supratentorial ICH who fit previously published clinical criteria including age = 18, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) = 6, hematoma volume = 15, and baseline modified Rankin Score (mRS) = 3 with a CTA negative for vascular malformation. Retrospective review was performed on patients who were treated in a single health system from December 2015 to August 2018. Demographic, clinical and radiographic previously demonstrated to impact ICH outcome were included in a multivariate logistic regression to identify factors predicting poor outcome (modified Rankin scale (mRS) 4-6) at 6 mo. RESULTS A total of 97 patients underwent minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation. In a multivariate analysis, factors that predicted poor outcome included age (OR 1.81 (CI 1.15-3.08) P = .016), deep location (OR 11.1 (2.41-67.8) P = .004), presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (OR 5.81 (1.765-22.39) P = .006) and increased time to evacuation measured in hours (OR 1.048 (CI 1.017-1.084) P = .004). CONCLUSION Time to evacuation significantly impacts long term outcome in minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation. Every minute counts.

Background: Data on clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and concomitant systemic cancer disease are very limited. Methods: Nine hundred and seventy three consecutive primary ICH patients were analyzed using our prospective institutional registry over a period of 9 years (2006-2014). We compared clinical and radiological parameters as well as outcome - scored using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and analyzed in a dichotomized fashion as favorable outcome (mRS = 0-3) and unfavorable outcome (mRS = 4-6) - of ICH patients with and without cancer. Relevant imbalances in baseline clinical and radiological characteristics were adjusted using propensity score (PS) matching. Results: Prevalence of systemic cancer among patients with ICH was 8.5% (83/973). ICH patients with cancer were older (77 [70-82] vs. 72 [63-80] years; p = 0.002), had more often prior renal dysfunction (19/83 [22.9%] vs.107/890 [12.0%]; p = 0.005), and smaller hemorrhage volumes (10.1 [4.8-24.3] vs. 15.3 [5.4-42.9] mL; p = 0.017). After PS-matching there were no significant differences neither in mortality nor in functional outcome both at 3 months (mortality: 33/81 [40.7%] vs. 55/158 [34.8%]; p = 0.368; mRS = 0-3: 28/81 [34.6%] vs. 52/158 [32.9%]; p = 0.797) and 12 months (mortality: 39/78 [50.0%] vs. 70/150 [46.7%]; p = 0.633; mRS = 0-3: 25/78 [32.1%] vs. 53/150 [35.3%]; p = 0.620) among patients with and without concomitant systemic cancer. ICH volume tended to be highest in patients with hematooncologic malignancy and smallest in urothelial cancer. Conclusions: Patients with ICH and concomitant systemic cancer on average are older; however, they show smaller ICH volumes compared to patients without cancer. Yet, mortality and functional outcome is not different in ICH patients with and without cancer. Thus, the clinical history or the de novo diagnosis of concomitant malignancies in ICH patients should not lead to unjustified treatment restrictions.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent studies have focused on antiplatelet (AP) use in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. Several outcome predictors have been debated, but influences on mortality and outcome still remain controversial, especially for different ICH locations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and functional outcome of ICH patients with reported regular AP use according to hemorrhage locations. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 210 consecutive spontaneous ICH patients. Clinical data including the preadmission status, initial presentation, neuroradiological data, treatment, and outcome were evaluated. Analyses were calculated for AP use vs non-AP use according to hematoma locations, and multivariate models were calculated for hematoma expansion and unfavorable (modified Rankin Scale = 4–6) long-term functional outcome (at 1 year). RESULTS: For all AP users ICH volume was significantly larger, 27.7 mL (interquartile range 7.4-66.1) vs 16.8 mL (interquartile range 4.2-44.7); (P = .032). Analyses showed an increased mortality for AP users at 90 days and 1 year (P = .036; P = .008). Multivariately, for all ICH patients, prior AP use was independently associated with hematoma expansion (odds ratio [OR] 3.61; P = .026) and poorer functional outcome at 1 year (OR 3.82, P = .035). In deep ICH patients, AP use was an independent predictor of an unfavorable functional outcome at 1 year (OR 4.75, P = .048). CONCLUSION: Hematoma expansion and more frequent unfavorable long-term functional outcome were independently associated with prior AP use for all patients, and in deep ICH patients AP use was an independent predictor of an unfavorable long-term functional outcome.

Introduction: Preclinical data have demonstrated a time-dependent benefit to early intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation while clinical data have been less clear. Here we present long term functional outcome after minimally invasive endoscopic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation with a focus on time to evacuation (TTE). Methods: Minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation was performed on patients with supratentorial ICH who fit prespecified clinical inclusion and exclusion criteria agreed upon by a multidisciplinary group of physicians in the health care system. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed on patients who were treated from December 2015 to October 2018. Demographic, clinical, and radiographic factors previously demonstrated to impact functional outcome in ICH were included in a multivariate logistic regression to identify factors predicting favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-3) at 6 months post-hemorrhage. Results: Ninety patients underwent MIS endoscopic ICH evacuation within 72 hours of ictus. In a multivariate analysis, factors that were identified to predict a positive outcome included age (per decade, OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.28-0.82) presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.07-0.79), cortical location (OR 19.89, 95% CI 3.37-117.39), early evacuation (per hour, OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.99). Patients who underwent evacuation within 24 hours were 5 times more likely to achieve a favorable outcome (OR 5.29, 95% CI 1.52-18.41). Early evacuation did not correlate with increased risk of rebleeding. Conclusion: Time to evacuation significantly impacts long term outcome in minimally invasive endoscopic ICH evacuation. Every one hour evacuation is delayed results in a 5% reduction in the odds of achieving a favorable long-term outcome.

Abstract Background Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital abnormalities in male newborn. There is no universal approach to hypospadias surgical repair, with more than 300 corrective procedures described in current literature. The reoperation rate within 6–12 months of the initial surgery is most frequently used as an outcome measure. These short-term outcomes may not reflect those encountered in adolescence and adult life. This study aims to identify the long-term cosmetic, functional and psychosexual outcomes. Methods Medical records of boys who had undergone surgical repair of hypospadias by a single surgical team led by the same surgeon at a single centre between August 2001 and December 2017 were reviewed. Families were contacted by telephone and invited to participate. Surgical outcome was assessed by combination of clinical examination, a life-related interview and 3 validated questionnaires (the Penile Perception Score-PPS, the Hypospadias Objective Score Evaluation-HOSE, the International Index of Erectile Function-5-IIEF5). Outcomes were compared according to age, severity of hypospadias, and respondent (child, parent and surgeon). Results 187 children and their families agreed to participate in the study. 46 patients (24.6%) presented at least one complication after the repair, with a median elapsed time of 11.5 months (6.5–22.5). Longitudinal differences in surgical corrective procedures (p < 0.01), clinical approach (p < 0.01), hospitalisation after surgery (p < 0.01) were found. Cosmetic data from the PPS were similar among children and parents, with no significant differences in child’s age or the type of hypospadias: 83% of children and 87% of parents were satisfied with the cosmetic result. A significant difference in functional outcome related to the type of hypospadias was reflected responses to HOSE amongst all groups of respondents: children (p < 0.001), parents (p=0.02) and surgeon (p < 0.01). The child’s HOSE total score was consistently lower than the surgeon (p < 0.01). The HOSE satisfaction rate on functional outcome was 89% for child and 92% for parent respondents. Conclusion Surgeons and clinicians should be cognizant of the long-term outcomes following hypospadias surgical repair and this should be reflected in a demand for a standardised approach to repair and follow-up.
