Hypoperfusion intensity ratio predicts infarct progression and functional outcome in the DEFUSE 2 Cohort.

ABSTRACT: We evaluate associations between the severity of magnetic resonance perfusion-weighted imaging abnormalities, as assessed by the hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR), on infarct progression and functional outcome in the Diffusion and Perfusion Imaging Evaluation for Understanding Stroke Evolution Study 2 (DEFUSE 2).Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and perfusion-weighted imaging lesion volumes were determined with the RAPID software program. HIR was defined as the proportion of TMax >6 s lesion volume with a Tmax >10 s delay and was dichotomized based on its median value (0.4) into low versus high subgroups as well as quartiles. Final infarct volumes were assessed at day 5. Initial infarct growth velocity was calculated as the baseline diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume divided by the delay from symptom onset to baseline magnetic resonance imaging. Total Infarct growth was determined by the difference between final infarct and baseline DWI volumes. Collateral flow was assessed on conventional angiography and dichotomized into good and poor flow. Good functional outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale ?2 at 90 days.Ninety-nine patients were included; baseline DWI, perfusion-weighted imaging, and final infarct volumes increased with HIR quartiles (P<0.01). A high HIR predicted poor collaterals with an area under the curve of 0.73. Initial infarct growth velocity and total infarct growth were greater among patients with a high HIR (P<0.001). After adjustment for age, DWI volume, and reperfusion, a low HIR was associated with good functional outcome: odds ratio=4.4 (95% CI, 1.3-14.3); P=0.014.HIR can be easily assessed on automatically processed perfusion maps and predicts the rate of collateral flow, infarct growth, and clinical outcome.

Project description:Background and purpose: Previous studies have shown that Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio (HIR) derived from Perfusion Imaging (PWI) associated with collateral status in large-vessel occlusion (LVO) acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and could predict the rate of collateral flow, speed of infarct growth, and clinical outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT). We hypothesized that HIR derived from CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging could relatively accurately predict the functional outcome in LVO AIS patients receiving different types of treatment. Methods: Imaging and clinical data of consecutive patients with LVO AIS were retrospectively reviewed. Multi-phase CT angiography (mCTA) scoring was performed by 2 blinded neuroradiologists. CTP images were processed using an automatic post-processing analysis software. Correlation between the HIR and the functional outcome was calculated using the Spearman correlation. The efficacy of the HIR and the CTA collateral scores for predicting prognosis were compared. The optimal threshold of the HIR for predicting favorable functional outcome was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: 235 patients with LVO AIS were included. Patients with favorable functional outcome had lower HIR (0.1 [interquartile range (IQR), 0.1-0.2]) vs. 0.4 (IQR, 0.4-0.5)) and higher mCTA collateral scores (3 [IQR, 3-4] vs. 3 [IQR, 2-3]; p < 0.001) along with smaller infarct core volume (2.1 [IQR, 1.0-4.5]) vs. (15.2 [IQR, 5.5-39.3]; p < 0.001), larger mismatch ratio (22.9 [IQR, 11.6-45.6]) vs. (5.8 [IQR, 2.6-14]); p < 0.001), smaller ischemic volume (59.0 [IQR, 29.7-89.2]) vs. (97.5 [IQR, 68.7-142.2]; p < 0.001), and smaller final infarct volume (12.6 [IQR, 7.5-18.4]) vs. (78.9 [IQR, 44.5-165.0]; p < 0.001) than those with unfavorable functional outcome. The HIR was significantly positively correlated with the functional outcome [r = 0.852; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.813-0.884; p < 0.0001]. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the optimal threshold for predicting a favorable functional outcome was HIR ≤ 0.3 [area under the curve (AUC) 0.968; sensitivity 88.89%; specificity 99.21%], which was higher than the mCTA collateral score [AUC 0.741; sensitivity 82.4%; specificity 48.8%]. Conclusions: HIR was associated with the functional outcome of LVO AIS patients, and the correlation coefficient was higher than mCTA collateral score. HIR outperformed mCTA collateral score in predicting functional outcome.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Thrombectomy in late time windows leads to improved outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. We determined whether patients with rapid neurological improvement (RNI) 24 hours after thrombectomy were more likely to have a favorable clinical outcome in the DEFUSE 3 study (Endovascular Therapy Following Imaging Evaluation for Ischemic Stroke 3). Methods- All patients who underwent thrombectomy in DEFUSE 3 were included. RNI was defined as a reduction of ≥8 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale or National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale zero to one 24 hours after thrombectomy. Clinical outcomes were assessed by an ordinal analysis modified Rankin Scale score and a dichotomous analysis for 90-day independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2). Results- Ninety-one patients in DEFUSE 3 underwent thrombectomy with follow-up data; 31 patients (34%) experienced RNI (RNI+) after thrombectomy and 60 patients (66%) did not (RNI-). Patient demographics and stroke presentation and imaging details were similar between RNI+ and RNI- patients. Reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b-3) after thrombectomy was achieved in 26 (84%) RNI+ and 43 (72%) RNI- ( P=0.2). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in no RNI+ and 8% of RNI- patients ( P=0.2). RNI was associated with a favorable modified Rankin Scale shift at day 90 (odds ratio, 3.8; CI, 1.7-8.6; P=0.001) and higher rates of modified Rankin Scale zero to 2 (61% versus 37%; odds ratio, 2.7; CI, 1.1-6.7; P=0.03). Mortality was 3% in RNI+ versus 18% in RNI- ( P=0.05). RNI+ patients had lower median 24-hour National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (5 [interquartile range (IQR), 1-7] versus 13 [IQR, 7.5-21]; P<0.001), smaller 24-hour infarction volume (21 [IQR, 5-32] versus 65 [IQR, 27-145] mL; P<0.001), and less 24-hour infarct growth (8 [IQR, 1-18] versus 37 [IQR, 16-105] mL; P<0.001) compared with RNI- patients. Hospital stay was shorter in RNI+ (3.7 [IQR, 2.9-7.1] versus 7.4 [IQR, 5.2-12.1] days in RNI-; P<0.001). Conclusions- RNI following thrombectomy correlates with favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes and reduced hospital length of stay. RNI was a favorable prognostic sign following late-window thrombectomy in DEFUSE 3. Clinical Trial Registration- URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT02586415.

Project description:Background and purposeCollateral blood supply is a key determinant of outcome in large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke. Single- and multiphase CTA collateral scoring systems have been described but are subjective and require training. We aimed to test whether the CTP-derived hypoperfusion intensity ratio is associated with CTA collateral status and whether a threshold hypoperfusion intensity ratio exists that predicts poor CTA collaterals.Materials and methodsImaging and clinical data of consecutive patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke were retrospectively reviewed. Single-phase CTA and multiphase CTA scoring were performed by 2 blinded neuroradiologists using the Tan, Maas, and Calgary/Menon methods. CTP was processed using RApid processing of PerfusIon and Diffusion software (RAPID). Hypoperfusion intensity ratio = ratio of brain volume with time-to-maximum >10 seconds over time-to-maximum >6-second volume. Correlation between the hypoperfusion intensity ratio and CTA collateral scores was calculated using the Pearson correlation. The optimal threshold of the hypoperfusion intensity ratio for predicting poor collaterals was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsFifty-two patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke were included. Multiphase CTA collateral scoring showed better interrater agreement (κ = 0.813) than single-phase CTA (Tan, κ = 0.587; Maas, κ = 0.273). The hypoperfusion intensity ratio correlated with CTA collateral scores (multiphase CTA: r = -0.55; 95% CI, -0.67 to -0.40; P ≤ .001). The optimal threshold for predicting poor multiphase CTA collateral status was a hypoperfusion intensity ratio of >0.45 (sensitivity = 78%; specificity = 76%; area under the curve = 0.86). Patients with high hypoperfusion intensity ratio/poor collateral status had lower ASPECTS/larger infarcts, higher NIHSS scores, and larger hypoperfused volumes.ConclusionsThe hypoperfusion intensity ratio is associated with CTA collateral status in patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke. The hypoperfusion intensity ratio is an automated and quantitative alternative to CTA collateral scoring methods for both clinical and future stroke trial settings.

Project description:BackgroundTracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation initiation is a procedure at high risk for arterial hypotension in intensive care unit. However, little is known about the relationship between pre-existing peripheral microvascular alteration and post-intubation hemodynamic instability (PIHI).MethodsProspective observational monocenter study conducted in an 18-bed medical ICU. Consecutive patients requiring tracheal intubation were eligible for the study. Global hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac function) and tissue perfusion parameters (arterial lactate, mottling score, capillary refill time [CRT], toe-to-room gradient temperature) were recorded before, 5 min and 2 h after tracheal intubation (TI). Post intubation hemodynamic instability (PIHI) was defined as any hemodynamic event requiring therapeutic intervention.ResultsDuring 1 year, 120 patients were included, mainly male (59%) with a median age of 68 [57-77]. The median SOFA score and SAPS II were 6 [4-9] and 47 [37-63], respectively. The main indications for tracheal intubation were hypoxemia (51%), hypercapnia (13%), and coma (29%). In addition, 48% of patients had sepsis and 16% septic shock. Fifty-one (42%) patients develop PIHI. Univariate analysis identified several baseline factors associated with PIHI, including norepinephrine prior to TI, sepsis, tachycardia, fever, higher SOFA and high SAPSII score, mottling score ≥ 3, high lactate level and prolonged knee CRT. By contrast, mean arterial pressure, baseline cardiac index, and ejection fraction were not different between PIHI and No-PIHI groups. After adjustment on potential confounders, the mottling score was associated with a higher risk for PIHI (adjusted OR: 1.84 [1.21-2.82] per 1 point increased; p = 0.005). Among both global haemodynamics and tissue perfusion parameters, baseline mottling score was the best predictor of PIHI (AUC: 0.72 (CI 95% [0.62-0.81]).ConclusionsIn non-selected critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, tissue hypoperfusion parameters, especially the mottling score, could be helpful to predict PIHI.
