Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Background: Experimental animal model studies have shown neuroprotective properties of magnesium. We assessed the relationship between admission magnesium and admission stroke severity and 3-month clinical outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: The present study included 323 patients with acute ICH who were prospectively identified. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle risk factors, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, hematoma volumes, and other clinical features were recorded at baseline for all participants. Patients were divided into three groups based on the admission magnesium levels (T1: <0.84; T2: 0.84-0.91; T3: =0.91 mmol/L). Clinical outcomes were death, poor functional outcome (defined by modified rankin ccale [mRS] scores 3-6) at 3 months. Results: After 3-month follow-up, 40 (12.4%) all-cause mortality and 132 (40.9%) poor functional outcome were documented. Median NIHSS scores for each tertile (T1 to T3) were 8.0, 5.5, and 6.0, and median hematoma volumes were 10.0, 8.05, and 12.4 ml, respectively. There was no significant association between baseline NIHSS scores (P=0.176) and hematoma volumes (P=0.442) in T3 and T1 in multivariable linear regression models. Compared with the patients in T1, those in T3 were associated with less frequency of all-cause mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.10; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02-0.54; P-trend=0.010] but not poor functional outcome (adjusted OR, 1.80; 95%CI, 0.71-4.56; P-trend=0.227) after adjustment for potential confounders. Conclusion: Elevated admission serum magnesium level is associated with lower odds of mortality but not poor functional outcome at 3 months in patients with acute ICH.

The Impact

Introduction: Although elevated blood pressure (BP) is an established risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the impact of acute BP fluctuations on ICH outcomes remains unclear. In this study, we sought to investigate the effect of acute BP variability (BPV) on mortality and functional outcome in ICH survivors. Methods: Subjects were consecutive ICH patients ≥ 18 years with available inpatient BP data, who survived hospitalization. Four measures of systolic BPV were calculated: standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CoV), average real variability (ARV), and successive variation (SV). Our outcomes were (1) death and (2) poor functional outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 3-6 in a period between 60-120 days after discharge. We assessed the effect of hyperacute (ICH event-72 hours) and acute/subacute (72 hours-discharge) BPV on outcomes. We constructed Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models to investigate the associations of BPV (per 10 mmHg increase) with mortality and poor functional outcome, respectively, after adjustment for potential confounders. Results: We included 345 patients, 120 of whom had available mRS data. 151 (43.8%) patients were female and 280 (81.2%) were white; mean age was 71 (±13) years. SBP ARV and SBP SV were the strongest predictors of mortality (HR 2.53-2.91 per 10 mmHg increase), while SBP SD, CoV, and SV were the strongest predictors of poor functional outcome (OR 2.89-5.14 per 10 mmHg increase) (Table) . These associations remained significant when analyzing both hyperacute as well as acute/subacute BPV. Compared to hyperacute BPV, acute/subacute BPV was more strongly associated with both mortality and poor functional outcome. Conclusion: Inpatient blood pressure variability is an important determinant of mortality and poor functional outcome in ICH survivors. Further studies are needed to investigate the role of addressing BPV as a potential target for intervention.

The Relationship

Background and Purpose: There have been conflicting reports regarding the association between peri-hematomal edema (PHE) in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and outcome. We hypothesized that PHE expansion rate from baseline to 24 hours predicts mortality and poor functional outcome after ICH. Methods: ICH, PHE and intraventricular hemorrhage volumes were measured for 139 subjects who presented with primary ICH and received head computed tomography scans at baseline and 24-hours post-ICH. Subjects were retrospectively identified from a prospective cohort study of ICH. Inclusion criteria were age over 18 years with primary spontaneous supratentorial ICH. Exclusion criteria were infratentorial hemorrhage, primary intraventricular hemorrhage, or any suspected cause of secondary ICH. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between PHE expansion rate and 90-day mortality and functional outcome. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score > 2. Results: There was a strong association between PHE expansion rate and mortality (OR 1.42, p = 0.0025) and a trend in the correlation between PHE expansion rate and poor outcome (OR 1.50, p = 0.07). In a multivariable model accounting for hematoma volume and time from symptom onset to 24 hour scan, PHE expansion rate was a significant predictor of mortality (OR 1.07, p = 0.032). In a multivariable model accounting for hematoma volume, age, Glasgow Coma Scale score, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage and time from symptom onset to 24 hour scan, PHE expansion rate predicted poor functional outcome (OR 2.58, p = 0.05). Conclusions: PHE expansion rate predicts outcome in ICH and may represent a novel therapeutic target.

Introduction: Strict patient selection in medical or surgical trials on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is needed to optimize therapeutic benefit but limits trial enrolment as well as overall applicability of results. We studied the applicability of previous, current, and planned large interventional ICH trials by applying each trial’s defined inclusion criteria to an unselected cohort of ICH patients. Methods: Large interventional ICH trials were identified via trial registration databases. To estimate eligibility rates, each trial’s inclusion criteria were applied on an unselected consecutive group of first-ever ICH patients from the prospective hospital-based Lund Stroke Register. Subsequently, 30 day survival status was obtained from the National Census Office and 90 day poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≥4 or death) from the Swedish Stroke Register or medical files. Results: Among 253 included ICH patients, estimated eligibility rates ranged from 2-38% for the identified 11 large interventional ICH trials (Figure 1). Patients not eligible for any of the trials (N=91, 36%) had: more extensive intraventricular hemorrhage (p<0.001); lower baseline level of consciousness (p<0.001); higher rate of cerebellar ICH and lower rates of lobar ICH (p<0.001). No significant age, sex, or ICH volume differences were observed. The 30 day mortality rates among eligible patients were 0-33% depending on selected trial. The mortality rate for patients not eligible for any trial was 55% vs 19% for patients eligible in ≥1 trial (95% CI: 45-65% vs 13-25%; p<0.001). Non-eligible ICH patients more frequently had poor functional outcome (75% vs 49%; 95% CI: 65-85% vs 41-57%; p<0.001). Conclusions: There is great variation in proportions of unselected ICH patients eligible for inclusion in treatment trials. Even in trials with broad entry criteria only a minority is eligible, which need to be considered when translating ICH-trial results into clinical practice.

Background/Aims: The modified Graeb Scale (mGS) is a semi-quantitative method to assess the extension of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The mGS has been shown to prognosticate outcome after ICH in cohorts derived from convenience samples. We evaluated the external validity of mGS in supratentorial ICH-patients from an unselected cohort. Methods: ICH-patients were included prospectively and consecutively in Lund Stroke Register. Follow-up survival status was obtained from the National Census Office; functional outcome was obtained from the Swedish Stroke Register or medical records. Using multivariate analyses, we examined if mGS was related to 30-day survival or poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≥4) at 90 days. Results: Of 198 supratentorial ICH-patients, 86 (43%) had IVH (median mGS 12, range 1-28). In multivariate regression analyses, the mGS independently predicted 30-day mortality (per point; OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.06-1.27; p = 0.002) and poor functional outcome (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.02-1.20; p = 0.011) after ICH. In receiver-operator characteristic analysis, the addition of mGS tended to be associated with a higher prognostic accuracy for survival (area under curve 0.886 vs. not including mGS 0.812; p = 0.053). Conclusions: The mGS improves outcome prediction after supratentorial ICH beyond other previously established factors in an unselected population.

Background: The effects of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cystatin C on clinical outcomes on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remain unclear. We investigated the associations of eGFR and cystatin C with 3-month functional outcome and all-cause mortality in acute ICH patients. Methods: A total of 365 patients with acute ICH were enrolled. Serum creatinine and cystatin C levels were measured within 24 h of admission. Outcomes at 3-month were evaluated by interviews with patients or their family members. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score ≥3. Results: During the 3-month follow-up, 154 patients experienced poor functional outcome, and 48 patients died from all causes. Low eGFR level was associated with poor outcome (adjusted OR 8.95; 95% CI 2.13-37.66; p-trend = 0.045) and all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio (HR) 5.10; 95% CI 2.00-13.03; p-trend = 0.001). Additionally, a high cystatin C level was also found to be associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 4.01; 95% CI 1.09-14.72; p-trend = 0.015). However, no significant association between cystatin C and poor functional outcome was observed (p-trend = 0.615). Conclusions: Low eGFR at baseline predicts poor functional outcome and all-cause mortality at 3-month in acute ICH patients. Also, high cystatin C was associated with increased risk of mortality but not with poor functional outcome.

Abstract Background: Obesity is one of the major risk factors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Neck circumference (NC) is an indicator of obesity, and little is known about the role of NC in patients with ICH. This study aimed to assess the association between NC and functional outcome in ICH patients.Methods: We prospectively analyzed data of ICH patients who received treatment at our institution from January 2018 to November 2019. Patients were categorized as two groups according to 180-day Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess whether NC was associated with poor outcome in ICH patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to manifest the significance of NC in predicting the functional outcome of ICH patients.Results: A total of 312 patients were enrolled in our study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that NC was an independent predictor of 180-day poor functional outcome (odds ratio [OR] = 1.205, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.075-1.350, p = 0.001). ROC analysis revealed that NC could predict poor functional outcome at 6 months.Conclusion: NC is an independent predictor of unfavorable functional outcome at 6 months in ICH patients.

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.
