Quality of life and depression 3 months after intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Quality of life (QoL) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is poorly known. This study investigated factors affecting QoL and depression after spontaneous ICH.

Materials and methods

This prospective study included patients admitted to Helsinki University Hospital between May 2014 and December 2016. Health-related QoL (HRQoL) at 3 months after ICH was measured using the European Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D-5L), and the 15D scale. Logistic regression analyses were used to test factors affecting HRQoL. EQ-5D-5L anxiety/depression dimension was used to analyze factors associated with anxiety/depression.

Results

Of 277 patients, 220 were alive, and sent QoL questionnaire. The questionnaire was returned by 124 patients. Nonreturners had more severe strokes with admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 7.8 (IQR 3.0-14.8) versus 5.0 (IQR 2.3-11.0); p = 0.018, and worse outcome assessed as modified Rankin Scale 3-5 at 3 months 59.4% versus 44.4% (p = 0.030). Predictors for lower HRQoL by both scales were higher NIHSS with OR 1.28 (95% CI 1.13-1.46) for EQ-5D-5L, and OR 1.28 (1.15-1.44) for 15D, older age (OR 1.10 [1.03-1.16], and OR 1.09 [1.03-1.15]), and chronic heart failure (OR 18.12 [1.73-189.27], and OR 12.84 [1.31-126.32]), respectively. Feeling sad/depressed for more than 2 weeks during the year prior to ICH was predictor for lower EQ-5D-5L (OR 10.64 [2.39-47.28]), and history of ICH for lower 15D utility indexes (OR 11.85 [1.01-138.90]). Prior feelings of sadness/depression were associated with depression/anxiety at 3 months after ICH with OR 3.62 (1.14-11.45).

Conclusions

In this cohort of ICH patients with milder deficits, HRQoL was affected by stroke severity, comorbidities and age. Feelings of depression before ICH had stronger influence on reporting depression/anxiety after ICH than stroke severity-related and outcome parameters. Thus, simple questions on patient's premorbid feelings of sadness/depression could be used to identify patients at risk of depression after ICH for focusing follow-up and treatment.

Project description:ImportanceIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) contributes significantly to the global burden of disease.ObjectiveTo examine the association of ICH and secondary injury with disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for the individual patient.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study was conducted using data from the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen Cohort of Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage study. Consecutive patients admitted to a single tertiary care center from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2015, were included. The sample comprised patients with oral anticoagulation-associated ICH (OAC-ICH) or primary spontaneous ICH (non-OAC-ICH). Statistical analysis was conducted from October 1 to December 31, 2020.ExposuresICH occurrence and secondary injury.Main outcomes and measuresDALYs, years of life lost (YLL), and years lived with disability (YLD) were analyzed by hematoma location, ICH volume, and secondary injury (ie, hematoma expansion [HE], intraventricular hemorrhage [IVH], and perihemorrhagic edema [PHE]).ResultsAmong 1322 patients with ICH, 615 (46.5%) were women and the mean (SD) age at hospital admission was 71 (13) years; ICH was associated with a mean (SD) of 9.46 (8.08) DALYs, 5.72 (8.29) YLL, and 3.74 (5.95) YLD. There were statistically significant differences in mean (SD) DALYs by extent of hematoma volume (< 10 mL ICH: 7.05 [6.79] DALYs; 10-30 mL ICH: 9.91 [8.35] DALYs; >30 mL ICH: 12.42 [8.47] DALYs; P < .001) and ICH location (deep location: 10.60 [8.35] DALYs; lobar location: 8.18 [7.63] DALYs; cerebellum: 8.14 [6.80] DALYs; brainstem: 12.63 [9.21] DALYs; P < .001). Regarding population-level disease burden of secondary injuries after ICH, there was a statistically significant difference in mean (SD) by injury type, with 0.94 (3.19) DALYs for HE, 2.45 (4.16) DALYs for IVH, and 1.96 (2.66) DALYs for PHE (P < .001) among the entire ICH cohort. Regarding individual-level exposure to secondary injuries after ICH, there were a mean (SD) 7.14 (6.62) DALYs for HE, 4.58 (4.75) DALYs for IVH, and 3.35 (3.28) DALYs for PHE among patients with ICH affected by secondary injuries.Conclusions and relevanceThese findings suggest that there is a high burden of disability associated with ICH and secondary injuries, and the findings may guide public health strategies. The study findings further suggest that IVH and PHE may be relevant for the overall outcome of patients with ICH, that DALYs may represent a viable outcome parameter for studies to evaluate treatment outcomes in ICH research, and that IVH and PHE may represent potential treatment targets.
