Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The utility of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers in the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been concerned. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the computed tomography irregularity shape for poor functional outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. PATIENTS AND Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 782 patients with intracranial hemorrhage in our stroke emergency center from January 2018 to September 2019. Laboratory examination and CT examination were measured within 24 hours of admission. After three months, the patient's functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were applied to identify independent predictors of functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. RESULTS Out of the 627 patients included in this study, those with irregular shapes on CT imaging had a higher proportion of poor outcome and mortality 90 days after discharge (P<0.001). Irregular shapes were found to be significant independent predictors of poor outcome and mortality on multiple logistic regression analysis. Besides, the increase of plasma D-dimer was associated with the occurrence of irregular shape (P=0.0387). CONCLUSIONS Patients with irregular shape showed worse functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage. The elevated expression level of plasma D-dimer may be directly related to the formation of irregular shapes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between hematoma ventricle distance (HVD) and clinical outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsWe prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with ICH in a tertiary academic hospital between July 2011 and April 2018. We retrospectively reviewed images for all patients receiving a computed tomography (CT) within 6 h after onset of symptoms and at least one follow-up CT scan within 36 h. The minimum distance of hematoma border to nearest ventricle was measured as HVD. Youden index was used to evaluate the cutoff of HVD predicting functional outcome. Logistic regression model was used to assess the HVD data and clinical poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale 4–6) at 90 days.ResultsA total of 325 patients were included in our final analysis. The median HVD was 2.4 mm (interquartile range, 0–5.7 mm), and 119 (36.6%) patients had poor functional outcome at 3 months. After adjusting for age, admission Glasgow coma scale, intraventricular hemorrhage, baseline ICH volume, admission systolic blood pressure, blood glucose, hematoma expansion, withdrawal of care, and hypertension, HVD ≤ 2.5 mm was associated with increased odds of clinical poor outcome [odd ratio, 3.59, (95%CI = 1.72–7.50); p = 0.001] in multivariable logistic regression analysis.ConclusionHematoma ventricle distance allows physicians to quickly select and stratify patients in clinical trials and thereby serve as a novel and useful addition to predict ICH prognosis.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) has been common in China with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML)-based predictive model for the 90-day evaluation after SICH. We retrospectively reviewed 751 patients with SICH diagnosis and analyzed clinical, radiographic, and laboratory data. A modified Rankin scale (mRS) of 0–2 was defined as a favorable functional outcome, while an mRS of 3–6 was defined as an unfavorable functional outcome. We evaluated 90-day functional outcome and mortality to develop six ML-based predictive models and compared their efficacy with a traditional risk stratification scale, the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score. The predictive performance was evaluated by the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). A total of 553 patients (73.6%) reached the functional outcome at the 3rd month, with the 90-day mortality rate of 10.2%. Logistic regression (LR) and logistic regression CV (LRCV) showed the best predictive performance for functional outcome (AUC = 0.890 and 0.887, respectively), and category boosting presented the best predictive performance for the mortality (AUC = 0.841). Therefore, ML might be of potential assistance in the prediction of the prognosis of SICH.

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 (&gt;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.

Introduction: Elevation of blood pressure (BP) post mechanical thrombectomy (MT) can theoretically restore cerebral perfusion to the ischemic brain tissue, but it comes at a risk of causing reperfusion injury. The ideal BP in the 24-hour range after MT has been understudied. We investigated the association of different BP parameters post-MT with the functional outcome at discharge at a tertiary care center. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of adult patients who underwent MT for an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion at a comprehensive stroke center from July 2014 to March 2018. We recorded the BP values over a period of 24-hours post-MT. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed, controlling for age, pre-thrombectomy NIHSS-scores, thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI)-scores, duration to thrombectomy, with the BP parameters as the predictors. The primary outcome was the functional outcome at discharge. Good outcome was defined as a modified rankin scale (mRS) of 0-2 and a poor outcome as mRS of 3-6, upon discharge. Results: 69 patients met our inclusion criteria. 39 (56.52%) patients were male. The mean age was 64.80±14 years. The mean pre-treatment NIHSS was 16.18±5. 22 (31.88%) patients had a good outcome (mRS≤2) at discharge. In the logistic regression model, the parameters of higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) variability like coefficient variation (CV) MAP (7.04±6 vs.3.13±5.; OR, 1.13; 95% CI,1.01-1.27; P 0.038) and standard deviation (SD) MAP (6.4±6 vs.2.75±4; OR, 1.15; 95% CI,1.02-1.31; P 0.032) were significantly associated with a poor outcome at discharge. The parameters of average systolic BP, average diastolic BP, and average MAP over 24-hours post-MT were not significantly associated with poor outcomes at discharge. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a significant association between 24-hours-post-MT parameters of higher MAP variability like CV MAP and SD MAP and poor functional outcomes at discharge.

Background: In spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), black hole sign has been proposed as a promising imaging marker that predicts hematoma expansion in patients with ICH. The aim of our study was to investigate whether admission CT black hole sign predicts hematoma growth in patients with ICH. Methods: From July 2011 till February 2016, patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent baseline CT scan within 6 h of symptoms onset and follow-up CT scan were recruited into the study. The presence of black hole sign on admission non-enhanced CT was independently assessed by 2 readers. The functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the presence of the black hole sign and functional outcome. Results: A total of 225 patients (67.6% male, mean age 60.3 years) were included in our study. Black hole sign was identified in 32 of 225 (14.2%) patients on admission CT scan. The multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, intraventricular hemorrhage, baseline ICH volume, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, and presence of black hole sign on baseline CT independently predict poor functional outcome at 90 days. There are significantly more patients with a poor functional outcome (defined as mRS ≥4) among patients with black hole sign than those without (84.4 vs. 32.1%, p < 0.001; OR 8.19, p = 0.001). Conclusions: The CT black hole sign independently predicts poor outcome in patients with ICH. Early identification of black hole sign is useful in prognostic stratification and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for anti-expansion clinical trials.

Background: The presence of high-density starry dots around the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which we termed as a satellite sign, is occasionally observed in CT. The relationship between ICH with a satellite sign and its functional outcome has not been identified. This study aimed to determine whether the presence of a satellite sign could be an independent prognostic factor for patients with ICH. Methods: Patients with acute spontaneous ICH were retrospectively identified and their initial CT scans were reviewed. A satellite sign was defined as scattered high-density lesions completely separate from the main hemorrhage in at least the single axial slice. Functional outcome was evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge. Poor functional outcome was defined as mRS scores of 3-6. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to assess the presence of a satellite sign and its association with poor functional outcome. Results: A total of 241 patients with ICH were enrolled in the study. Of these, 98 (40.7%) had a satellite sign. Patients with a satellite sign had a significantly higher rate of poor functional outcome (95.9%) than those without a satellite sign (55.9%, p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher age (OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.03-1.10; p = 0.00016), large hemorrhage size (OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.03-1.11; p = 0.00015), and ICH with a satellite sign (OR 13.5; 95% CI 4.42-53.4; p < 0.0001) were significantly related to poor outcome. A satellite sign was significantly related with higher systolic blood pressure (p = 0.0014), higher diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.0117), shorter activated partial thromboplastin time (p = 0.0427), higher rate of intraventricular bleeding (p < 0.0001), and larger main hemorrhage (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The presence of a satellite sign in the initial CT scan is associated with a significantly worse functional outcome in ICH patients.
