Serum Magnesium Levels and Outcomes in Patients With Acute Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnesium (Mg) has potential hemostatic properties. We sought to investigate the potential association of serum Mg levels (at baseline and at 48 hours) with outcomes in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods and results

We reviewed data on all patients with spontaneous ICH with available Mg levels at baseline, over a 5-year period. Clinical and radiological outcome measures included initial hematoma volume, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and ICH scores, in-hospital mortality, favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores, 0-1), and functional independence (modified Rankin Scale scores, 0-2) at discharge. Our study population consisted of 299 patients with ICH (mean age, 61±13 years; mean admission serum Mg, 1.8±0.3 mg/dL). Increasing admission Mg levels strongly correlated with lower admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (Spearman's r, -0.141; P=0.015), lower ICH score (Spearman's r, -0.153; P=0.009), and lower initial hematoma volume (Spearman's r, -0.153; P=0.012). Higher admission Mg levels were documented in patients with favorable functional outcome (1.9±0.3 versus 1.8±0.3 mg/dL; P=0.025) and functional independence (1.9±0.3 versus 1.8±0.3 mg/dL; P=0.022) at discharge. No association between serum Mg levels at 48 hours and any of the outcome variables was detected. In multiple linear regression analyses, a 0.1-mg/dL increase in admission serum Mg was independently and negatively associated with the cubed root of hematoma volume at admission (regression coefficient, -0.020; 95% confidence interval, -0.040 to -0.000; P=0.049) and admission ICH score (regression coefficient, -0.053; 95% confidence interval, -0.102 to -0.005; P=0.032).

Conclusions

Higher admission Mg levels were independently related to lower admission hematoma volume and lower admission ICH score in patients with acute spontaneous ICH.

Project description:BackgroundThe relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) changes potentially indicating autonomic dysregulation following spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and functional outcome has not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigated the effects of HRV during the initial 96 h after admission on 90-day functional outcome in ICH patients.MethodsWe included patients with spontaneous ICH in a prospective cohort single-center study. Continuous HR data were retrieved from the Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia information system (Philips Healthcare) and analyzed within the following time intervals: 0-2, 0-8, 0-12, 0-24, 0-48, 0-72, and 8-16, 16-24, 24-48, 48-72, 72-96 h after admission. HRV was determined from all available HR values by calculating the successive variability (SV), standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV). Low HRV was set as SD ≤ 11.4 ms, and high HRV as SD > 11.4 ms. The clinical severity of ICH was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Good functional outcome was defined as mRS 0-2.ResultsThe cohort included 261 ICH patients (mean age ± SD 69.6 ± 16.5 years, 48.7% female, median NIHSS 6 (2, 12), median ICH score 1 (0, 2), of whom 106 (40.6%) had good functional outcome. All patients had the lowest HRV at admission, which increased during the first two days. Comparing ICH patients with low HRV (n = 141) and high HRV (n = 118), those with good outcome showed significantly lower HRV during the first three days (0-72 h: HRV SD good outcome 10.6 ± 3.5 ms vs. poor outcome 12.0 ± 4.0 ms; p = 0.004). Logistic regression revealed that advanced age, high premorbid mRS, and high NIHSS at admission were significant predictors of poor functional outcome, while reduced SD of HRV showed a non-significant trend towards good functional outcome (0-72 h: OR 0.898; CI 0.800-1.008; p = 0.067).ConclusionsOur results indicate autonomic dysfunction with sympathetic hyperactivity after spontaneous ICH, as reflected by the evidence of the lower HRV in the first days. Initially increased sympathetic tone appears to have a protective effect, as suggested by the comparatively lower HRV in patients with good functional outcome at the first days.
