Functional Coagulation Differences Between Lobar and Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage Detected by Rotational Thromboelastometry: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is known to have better clinical outcomes and preliminary evidence of less hematoma expansion compared to deep ICH. No functional coagulation differences between lobar and deep ICH have been identified using traditional plasma-based coagulation tests. We investigated for coagulation differences between lobar and deep ICH using whole-blood coagulation testing (Rotational Thromboelastometry: [ROTEM]). METHODS:Clinical, radiographic, and laboratory data were prospectively collected for primary ICH patients enrolled in a single-center ICH study. Patients with preceding anticoagulant use or admission coagulopathy on traditional laboratory testing were excluded. Lobar and deep ICH patients receiving admission ROTEM were analyzed. Linear regression was used to assess the association of ICH location with coagulation test results after adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS:There were 12 lobar and 19 deep ICH patients meeting inclusion criteria. Lobar ICH patients were significantly older and predominantly female. Lobar ICH had faster intrinsic pathway coagulation times (139.8 vs 203.2 s; 95% CI -?179.91 to -?45.96; p?=?0.002) on ROTEM testing compared to deep ICH after adjusting for age, sex, and hematoma volume. This revealed functional coagulation differences, specifically quicker clot formation in lobar compared to deep ICH. No differences were noted using traditional coagulation testing (prothrombin time/partial thromboplastin time/platelet count). CONCLUSIONS:Our pilot data may suggest that there are functional coagulation differences between lobar and deep ICH identified using ROTEM. Whole-blood coagulation testing may be useful in assessing coagulopathy in ICH patients and in determining reversal treatment paradigms, though further work is needed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hematoma expansion (HE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with worse outcome. Lobar ICHs are known to have better outcomes compared to deep ICH; however, it is unclear whether there are HE differences between these locations. We sought to investigate the hypothesis that lobar ICH has less HE compared to deep ICH. METHODS:Primary ICH patients admitted between 2009 and 2016 were included in a prospective single-center ICH cohort study. Patients with preceding anticoagulant use, coagulopathy on admission labs, or presenting after 24?h from symptom onset were excluded. Lobar and deep ICH patients with baseline and follow-up computed tomography (CT) (within 24?h of admission CT) were evaluated. HE was defined primarily as relative growth >?33% given expected baseline hematoma volume differences between locations. Other commonly utilized definitions of HE: >?6 mL, and >?33% or >?6 mL, were additionally assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of ICH location with HE while adjusting for previously identified covariates of HE. RESULTS:There were 59 lobar and 143 deep ICH patients analyzed. Lobar ICH patients had significantly larger baseline hematoma volumes, lower admission systolic blood pressure, and longer times to admission CT compared to deep ICH. Multivariable logistic regression revealed an association of lobar ICH with lower odds of HE (>?33%) [odds ratio (OR) 0.32; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11-0.93; p?=?0.04] compared to deep ICH after adjusting for baseline ICH volume, blood pressure, and time to CT. Secondary analysis did not identify an association of lobar ICH with HE defined as >?6 mL (adjusted OR 1.44; 95% CI 0.59-3.50; p?=?0.41) or >?33% or >?6 mL (adjusted OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.29-1.70; p?=?0.44). CONCLUSION:We identified less HE in lobar compared to deep ICH. The use of absolute growth thresholds in defining HE may be limited when assessing groups with largely different baseline hematoma sizes. Further study is required to replicate our findings and investigate mechanisms for HE differences between lobar and deep ICH locations.

Project description:ObjectiveHematoma enlargement (HE) is associated with clinical outcomes after supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study evaluates whether HE characteristics and association with functional outcome differ in deep versus lobar ICH.MethodsPooled analysis of individual patient data between January 2006 and December 2015 from a German-wide cohort study (RETRACE, I + II) investigating ICH related to oral anticoagulants (OAC) at 22 participating centers, and from one single-center registry (UKER-ICH) investigating non-OAC-ICH patients. Altogether, 1954 supratentorial ICH patients were eligible for outcome analyses, which were separately conducted or controlled for OAC, that is, vitamin-K-antagonists (VKA, n = 1186) and non-vitamin-K-antagonist-oral-anticoagulants (NOAC, n = 107). Confounding was addressed using propensity score matching, cox regression modeling and multivariate modeling. Main outcomes were occurrence, extent, and timing of HE (>33%/>6 mL) and its association with 3-month functional outcome.ResultsOccurrence of HE was not different after deep versus lobar ICH in patients with non-OAC-ICH (39/356 [11.0%] vs. 36/305 [11.8%], P = 0.73), VKA-ICH (249/681 [36.6%] vs. 183/505 [36.2%], P = 0.91), and NOAC-ICH (21/69 [30.4%] vs. 12/38 [31.6%], P = 0.90). HE extent did not differ after non-OAC-ICH (deep:+59% [40-122] vs. lobar:+74% [37-124], P = 0.65), but both patients with VKA-ICH and NOAC-ICH showed greater HE extent after deep ICH [VKA-ICH, deep: +94% [54-199] vs. lobar: +56% [35-116], P < 0.001; NOAC-ICH, deep: +74% [56-123] vs. lobar: +40% [21-49], P = 0.001). Deep compared to lobar ICH patients had higher HE hazard during first 13.5 h after onset (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.85 [1.03-3.31], P = 0.04), followed by lower hazard (13.5-26.5 h, HR: 0.46 [0.23-0.89], P = 0.02), and equal hazard thereafter (HR: 0.96 [0.56-1.65], P = 0.89). Odds ratio for unfavorable outcome was higher after HE in deep (4.31 [2.71-6.86], P < 0.001) versus lobar ICH (2.82 [1.71-4.66], P < 0.001), and only significant after small-medium (1st volume-quarter, deep: 3.09 [1.52-6.29], P < 0.01; lobar: 3.86 [1.35-11.04], P = 0.01) as opposed to large-sized ICH (4th volume-quarter, deep: 1.09 [0.13-9.20], P = 0.94; lobar: 2.24 [0.72-7.04], P = 0.17).InterpretationHE occurrence does not differ among deep and lobar ICH. However, compared to lobar ICH, HE after deep ICH is of greater extent in OAC-ICH, occurs earlier and may be of greater clinical relevance. Overall, clinical significance is more apparent after small-medium compared to large-sized bleedings.
