Clinical Profile and Predictors of Outcome in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage from a Tertiary Care Centre in South India.

ABSTRACT: Background. This article attempts to evaluate the clinical profile and outcome determinants following hypertensive SICH in a South Indian population. The study represents the largest series of SICH reported from a single centre in India. Materials and Methods. Prospective data collection and analysis of patients with SICH admitted to our centre between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2018. The variables analysed include: age, sex, comorbidities, Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission, radiological features, treatment modality, and outcome at three months. Modified Rankin score (mRS) was used to assess the outcome at discharge and three months. Results. Our study group of 905 patients included 638 males and 267 females and the mean age at presentation was 58.10?±?12.76 years. The study group included 523 patients (57.8%) previously diagnosed hypertensive, of whom 36.3% (n = 190) were on irregular medication. The most frequent locations of hematoma were basal ganglia (478), thalamus (202), lobar (106), cerebellar (61), brainstem (31), and primary intraventricular haemorrhage (27). Secondary intraventricular extension was seen in 425 (47%) patients on admission. The mean volume of the clot on admission was 23.45?±?19.79?ml, and clot progression was seen in only 46 (5.08%) cases. Surgical evacuation through craniotomy was done in 147 (16.8%) patients, and external ventricular drainage (EVD) was placed in 56 (6.2%) patients. Overall 3-month mortality was 30.1% (266 patients). On the last follow up a favorable outcome (mRS 0-3) was observed in 412 (45.53%) patients and a poor outcome (mRS 4-5) in 207 patients (22.87%). Independent predictors of mortality are Age >70 (p = <0.001, OR 4.806, 95% CI 3.064-7.54), admission GCS <8 (p = <0.001, OR7.684, 95% CI 5.055#x2013;11.68), and Hematoma volume >30?ml (p = <0.001, OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.626-3.691). Intraventricular haemorrhage was an additional poor outcome predictor (p < 0.015, CI 1.105-2.585). Surgical evacuation reduced mortality in the group, but morbidity rates remained the same. Conclusions. SICH predominantly affects a younger population in India in comparison to the Western society. Elderly age, poor GCS on admission, clot volume above 30?ml and intraventricular extension remain the most consistent predictors of death and poor outcome. Further studies are needed to assess the risk of SICH among hypertensive patients and to prognosticate the outcome after SICH using novel predictors, including biomarkers.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Despite no clear evidence from randomized trials, surgical intervention of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) still occurs. We sought to describe the characteristics of patients undergoing surgical intervention in ICH. METHODS:Data from the ERICH (ERICH Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage) study were analyzed, and patients with ICH were categorized into surgical intervention or nonoperative management groups. Patients with primary intraventricular hemorrhage and those without data regarding the use of surgical intervention were excluded. RESULTS:The study cohort comprised 2947 patients, and surgical intervention was performed in 289 (10%). Younger age (odds ratio [OR], 0.967; P < 0.001), lower baseline modified Rankin Scale score (OR, 0.728; P < 0.001), higher admission Glasgow Coma Scale score (OR, 1.059; P = 0.007), larger ICH volume (OR, 1.037; P < 0.001), infratentorial ICH location (OR, 5.966; P < 0.001), lobar ICH location (OR, 1.906; P = 0.001), lack of intraventricular hemorrhage (OR, 0.567; P = 0.001), intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring (OR, 5.022; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.389; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of surgical intervention. Younger age (OR, 0.953; P < 0.001), lower baseline modified Rankin Scale score (OR, 0.713; P = 0.002), larger ICH volume (OR, 1.033; P < 0.001), lobar ICH location (OR, 2.467; P < 0.001), ICP monitoring (OR, 3.477; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.139; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of surgical interventions in supratentorial ICHs. Larger ICH volume (OR, 1.078; P < 0.001), ICP monitoring (OR, 6.099; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.952; P = 0.005) were independent predictors of surgical interventions in infratentorial ICHs. CONCLUSIONS:We identified multiple factors associated with surgical intervention for patients with ICH. Younger age, good neurologic function at baseline, large ICH volume on presentation, and lobar or infratentorial hematomas were independently associated with surgical intervention in patients with ICH .

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Intracerebral hemorrhage is a considerable source of morbidity and mortality. This 3-center study describes outcomes of pediatric intracerebral hemorrhage and identifies 2-year neurological outcome predictors. METHODS:Children 29 days to 18 years of age presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage from March 2007 to May 2015 were enrolled prospectively. Exclusion criteria included trauma; intracranial tumor; hemorrhagic transformation of arterial ischemic stroke or cerebral sinovenous thrombosis; isolated subdural, epidural, or subarachnoid hemorrhage; and abnormal baseline neurological function. Intracerebral hemorrhage and total brain volumes were measured on neuroimaging. The Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure assessed outcomes. RESULTS:Sixty-nine children were included (median age: 9.7 years; interquartile range: 2.2-14). Six children (9%) died during hospitalization. Outcomes in survivors were assessed at early follow-up in 98% (median 3.1 months; interquartile range: 3.1-3.8) and at later follow-up in 94% (median: 2.1 years; interquartile range: 1.3-2.8). Over a third had a significant disability at 2 years (Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure >2). Total Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure score improved over time (P=0.0003), paralleling improvements in the sensorimotor subscore (P=0.0004). Altered mental status (odds ratio, 13; 95% confidence interval, 3.9-46; P<0.001), hemorrhage volume ?4% of total brain volume (odds ratio, 17; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-156; P=0.01), and intensive care unit length of stay (odds ratio, 1.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.2; P=0.002) were significantly associated with poor 2-year outcome. CONCLUSIONS:Over one third of children experienced significant disability at 2 years. Improvements in outcomes were driven by recovery of sensorimotor function. Altered mental status, hemorrhage volume ?4% of total brain volume, and intensive care unit length of stay were independent predictors of significant disability at 2 years.

Project description:Background and purposeHematoma volume is an important determinant of clinical outcome in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of hematoma volume with the aim of identifying novel biological pathways involved in the pathophysiology of primary brain injury in ICH.MethodsWe conducted a 2-stage (discovery and replication) case-only genome-wide association study in patients with ICH of European ancestry. We utilized the admission head computed tomography to calculate hematoma volume via semiautomated computer-assisted technique. After quality control and imputation, 7 million genetic variants were available for association testing with ICH volume, which was performed separately in lobar and nonlobar ICH cases using linear regression. Signals with P<5×10-8 were pursued in replication and tested for association with admission Glasgow coma scale and 3-month post-ICH dichotomized (0-2 versus 3-6) modified Rankin Scale using ordinal and logistic regression, respectively.ResultsThe discovery phase included 394 ICH cases (228 lobar and 166 nonlobar) and identified 2 susceptibility loci: a genomic region on 22q13 encompassing PARVB (top single-nucleotide polymorphism rs9614326: β, 1.84; SE, 0.32; P=4.4×10-8) for lobar ICH volume and an intergenic region overlying numerous copy number variants on 17p12 (top single-nucleotide polymorphism rs11655160: β, 0.95; SE, 0.17; P=4.3×10-8) for nonlobar ICH volume. The replication included 240 ICH cases (71 lobar and 169 nonlobar) and corroborated the association for 17p12 (P=0.04; meta-analysis P=2.5×10-9; heterogeneity, P=0.16) but not for 22q13 (P=0.49). In multivariable analysis, rs11655160 was also associated with lower admission Glasgow coma scale (odds ratio, 0.17; P=0.004) and increased risk of poor 3-month modified Rankin Scale (odds ratio, 1.94; P=0.045).ConclusionsWe identified 17p12 as a novel susceptibility risk locus for hematoma volume, clinical severity, and functional outcome in nonlobar ICH. Replication in other ethnicities and follow-up translational studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism mediating the observed association.

Project description:ImportanceLimited evidence is available concerning optimal seizure prophylaxis after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).ObjectiveTo evaluate which of 4 seizure prophylaxis strategies provides the greatest net benefit for patients with sICH.Design, setting, and participantsThis decision analysis used models to simulate the following 4 common scenarios: (1) a 60-year-old man with low risk of early (≤7 days after stroke) (10%) and late (3.6% or 9.8%) seizures and average risk of short- (9%) and long-term (30%) adverse drug reaction (ADR); (2) an 80-year-old woman with low risk of early (10%) and late (3.6% or 9.8%) seizures and high short- (24%) and long-term (80%) ADR risks; (3) a 55-year-old man with high risk of early (19%) and late (34.8% or 46.2%) seizures and low short- (9%) and long-term (30%) ADR risks; and (4) a 45-year-old woman with high risk of early (19%) and late (34.8% or 46.2%) seizures and high short- (18%) and long-term (60%) ADR risks.InterventionsThe following 4 antiseizure drug strategies were included: (1) conservative, consisting of short-term (7-day) secondary early-seizure prophylaxis with long-term therapy after late seizure; (2) moderate, consisting of long-term secondary early-seizure prophylaxis or late-seizure therapy; (3) aggressive, consisting of long-term primary prophylaxis; and (4) risk guided, consisting of short-term secondary early-seizure prophylaxis among low-risk patients (2HELPS2B score, 0), short-term primary prophylaxis among patients at higher risk (2HELPS2B score, ≥1), and long-term secondary therapy for late seizure.Main outcomes and measuresQuality-adjusted life-years (QALYs).ResultsFor scenario 1, the risk-guided strategy (8.13 QALYs) was preferred over the conservative (8.08 QALYs), moderate (8.07 QALYs), and aggressive (7.88 QALYs) strategies. For scenario 2, the conservative strategy (2.18 QALYs) was preferred over the risk-guided (2.17 QALYs), moderate (2.09 QALYs), and aggressive (1.15 QALYs) strategies. For scenario 3, the aggressive strategy (9.21 QALYs) was preferred over the risk-guided (8.98 QALYs), moderate (8.93 QALYs), and conservative (8.77 QALYs) strategies. For scenario 4, the risk-guided strategy (11.53 QALYs) was preferred over the conservative (11.23 QALYs), moderate (10.93 QALYs), and aggressive (8.08 QALYs) strategies. Sensitivity analyses suggested that short-term strategies (conservative and risk guided) are preferred under most scenarios, and the risk-guided strategy performs comparably to or better than alternative strategies in most settings.Conclusions and relevanceThis decision analytical model suggests that short-term (7-day) prophylaxis dominates longer-term therapy after sICH. Use of the 2HELPS2B score to guide clinical decisions for initiation of short-term primary vs secondary early-seizure prophylaxis should be considered for all patients after sICH.
