Meta-analysis of haematoma volume, haematoma expansion and mortality in intracerebral haemorrhage associated with oral anticoagulant use.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To obtain precise estimates of age, haematoma volume, secondary haematoma expansion (HE) and mortality for patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) taking oral anticoagulants [Vitamin K antagonists (VKA-ICH) or non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC-ICH)] and those not taking oral anticoagulants (non-OAC ICH) at ICH symptom onset.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing VKA-ICH or NOAC-ICH or both with non-OAC ICH. Primary outcomes were haematoma volume (in ml), HE, and mortality (in-hospital and 3-month). We calculated odds ratios (ORs) using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects method and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and determined the mean ICH volume difference.

Results

We identified 19 studies including data from 16,546 patients with VKA-ICH and 128,561 patients with non-OAC ICH. Only 2 studies reported data on 4943 patients with NOAC-ICH. Patients with VKA-ICH were significantly older than patients with non-OAC ICH (mean age difference: 5.55 years, 95%CI 4.03-7.07, p?2?=?92%, p?2?=?42%, p?=?0.05). HE occurred significantly more often in VKA-ICH (OR 2.96, 95%CI 1.74-4.97, p?2?=?65%). VKA-ICH was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality (VKA-ICH: 32.8% vs. non-OAC ICH: 22.4%; OR 1.83, 95%CI 1.61-2.07, p?2?=?20%, p?=?0.27) and 3-month mortality (VKA-ICH: 47.1% vs. non-OAC ICH: 25.5%; OR 2.24, 95%CI 1.52-3.31, p?2?=?71%, p?=?0.001). We did not find sufficient data for a meta-analysis comparing NOAC-ICH and non-OAC-ICH.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis confirms, refines and expands findings from prior studies. We provide precise estimates of key prognostic factors and outcomes for VKA-ICH, which has larger haematoma volume, increased rate of HE and higher mortality compared to non-OAC ICH. There are insufficient data on NOACs.

Project description:ObjectivesTo test radiomics-based features extracted from noncontrast CT of patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage for prediction of haematoma expansion and poor functional outcome and compare them with radiological signs and clinical factors.Materials and methodsSeven hundred fifty-four radiomics-based features were extracted from 1732 scans derived from the TICH-2 multicentre clinical trial. Features were harmonised and a correlation-based feature selection was applied. Different elastic-net parameterisations were tested to assess the predictive performance of the selected radiomics-based features using grid optimisation. For comparison, the same procedure was run using radiological signs and clinical factors separately. Models trained with radiomics-based features combined with radiological signs or clinical factors were tested. Predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) score.ResultsThe optimal radiomics-based model showed an AUC of 0.693 for haematoma expansion and an AUC of 0.783 for poor functional outcome. Models with radiological signs alone yielded substantial reductions in sensitivity. Combining radiomics-based features and radiological signs did not provide any improvement over radiomics-based features alone. Models with clinical factors had similar performance compared to using radiomics-based features, albeit with low sensitivity for haematoma expansion. Performance of radiomics-based features was boosted by incorporating clinical factors, with time from onset to scan and age being the most important contributors for haematoma expansion and poor functional outcome prediction, respectively.ConclusionRadiomics-based features perform better than radiological signs and similarly to clinical factors on the prediction of haematoma expansion and poor functional outcome. Moreover, combining radiomics-based features with clinical factors improves their performance.Key points• Linear models based on CT radiomics-based features perform better than radiological signs on the prediction of haematoma expansion and poor functional outcome in the context of intracerebral haemorrhage. • Linear models based on CT radiomics-based features perform similarly to clinical factors known to be good predictors. However, combining these clinical factors with radiomics-based features increases their predictive performance.

Project description:IntroductionFew proven therapies for intracerebral haemorrhage exist. Preliminary observational evidence suggests that sulphonylurea and metformin may be protective in ischaemic stroke. We assessed the association of pre-intracerebral haemorrhage sulphonylurea and metformin use on outcome in diabetic patients.MethodsWe merged datasets from the consecutive single-centre Helsinki ICH Study, the intracerebral haemorrhage arm of the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA-ICH) and the Royal Melbourne Hospital ICH Study. Logistic regression adjusting for known predictors of intracerebral haemorrhage outcome (age, sex, baseline Glasgow Coma Scale, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, intracerebral haemorrhage volume, infratentorial location, intraventricular extension, and pre-intracerebral haemorrhage warfarin use) estimated the association of metformin and sulphonylurea with all-cause 90-day mortality.ResultsFrom a dataset of 2404 consecutive intracerebral haemorrhage patients, we included 374 (16%) patients with diabetes. Of these, 113 (30%) died by 90 days. Metformin was used in 148 (40%) patients and sulphonylurea in 115 (31%) patients at intracerebral haemorrhage onset. After adjusting for baseline characteristics, metformin use was associated with lower 90-day mortality (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.26-0.97; p = 0.041) irrespective of whether the drug was continued or not during the admission, while sulphonylurea use was not associated with mortality (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.49-1.88; p = 0.906). Haematoma location or evacuation did not modify the association between metformin and mortality; neither did adding insulin use, baseline glucose and serum creatinine into the model (OR 0.50; 95% CI 0.25-0.99; p = 0.047).ConclusionPre-intracerebral haemorrhage metformin use was associated with improved outcome in diabetic intracerebral haemorrhage patients. Our results generate hypotheses which after further validation could be tested in clinical trials.
