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: The long-term prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is poor. Frequent emergency department (ED) visits can signal increased risk of hospitalization and death. There are no studies describing the risk of frequent ED visits after SICH. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of a community representative consecutive SICH survivors (2009-2015) from southern Portugal. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with frequent ED visits (≥4 visits) within the first year after hospital discharge. Results: A total of 360 SICH survivors were identified, 358 (98.6%) of whom were followed. The median age was 72; 64% were males. The majority of survivors (n = 194, 54.2%) had at least 1 ED visit. Reasons for ED visits included infections, falls with trauma, and isolated neurological symptoms. Forty-four (12.3%) SICH survivors became frequent ED visitors. Frequent ED visitors were older and had more hospitalizations ( P < .001) and ED visits ( P < .001) prior to the SICH, unhealthy alcohol use ( P = .049), longer period of index SICH hospitalization ( P = .032), pneumonia during hospitalization ( P = .001), and severe neurological impairment at discharge ( P = .001). Pneumonia during index hospitalization (odds ratio [OR]: 3.08; confidence interval [CI]: 1.39-6.76; P = .005) and history of ED visits prior to SICH (OR: 1.64; CI: 1.19-2.26, P = .003) increased the likelihood of becoming a frequent ED visitor. Conclusions: Predictors of frequent ED visits are identifiable at hospital discharge and during any ED visit. Improvement of transitional care and identification of at-risk patients may help reduce multiple ED visits.

Background and aims. Stroke is a worldwide leading cause of death and disability and spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) has significant economic and social impact, regardless of recent efforts towards outcome-bettering acute interventions. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of a prospective observational research regarding point-of-care (POC) biomarkers in sICH, conducted in a level one emergency department (ED). Methods. Patients with acute (<8 hours) sICH were enrolled in this study. Patients presenting a Glasgow Coma Scale score <8, secondary causes of intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, recent ischemic events, known thromboembolic disease, anticoagulant treatment, severe pre-stroke disability, terminal disease, scheduled neurosurgery/ hemostatic treatment were excluded. Feasibility was defined as ED inclusion and follow-up rates, time-to-inclusion, and frequency of missing data. Baseline demographic, imaging and POC biochemical status of the study group were documented, including inflammatory (complete blood count, C-reactive protein), metabolic (glucose, hepatic, and renal function) and cardiovascular markers (cardiac troponin I, D-dimer). Results. The inclusion rate was 2.16 patients/month with a final sample of 35 patients out of 239 potentially eligible patients. The median time from symptom onset to ED presentation was 128 minutes (IQR 96-239), with 21/35 patients having presented within the first 3 hours from ictus. Median times between symptoms’ onset to Computer Tomography (CT) scan and ED presentation to CT scan were 170 minutes (IQR 126-317) and 25 minutes (IQR 17-62), respectively. The median time from patient’s presentation to CBC result was 12 minutes (IQR 6.5-20), with 21/35 study participants having the results available within 15 minutes from ED arrival. The median cohort age was 72-years, with a 19/16 male/female ratio. Hypertension was the most frequent risk factor (77%), along with ischemic heart disease (31%) and diabetes (29%). One-third of the hypertensive patients did not undergo blood pressure lowering treatment. Median values of POC biomarkers on ED admission were within normal range.  Conclusions. It was feasible to determine point-of-care biomarkers in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage on admission in ED, despite the urgency of the medical condition.
