Project description:Background Which type of recurrent stroke is associated with pulse pressure (PP) remains uncertain in ischemic stroke with cerebral microbleeds or intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods and Results The PICASSO (Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Ischemic Stroke Patients With High Risk of Cerebral Hemorrhage) database involving 1454 subjects was analyzed. Subjects were stratified into quartiles according to the distribution of mean PP (mm Hg) during follow-up (mean, 1.9 years): <47 (first quartile), 48 to 53 (second quartile), 54 to 59 (third quartile), and ≥60 mm Hg (fourth quartile). The primary end point was hemorrhagic stroke, and the secondary end points were ischemic stroke, stroke of any type, and major adverse cardiovascular events. Adjusted time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the prediction accuracy of mean PP. The mean frequency of visit for blood pressure checkup was 9.4±5.5 times. The stroke incidence rate per 100 person-years was 3.14, 2.24, 5.52, and 6.22, respectively in increasing quartile of mean PP, and the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events was 3.82, 2.84, 6.37, and 7.14, respectively. In the presence of mean arterial pressure, hemorrhagic stroke risk was higher in the highest quartile (adjusted hazard ratio, 6.03; 95% CI, 1.04-34.99) versus the lowest quartile, which was evident at higher mean systolic blood pressure. Higher mean PP as a continuous variable was also a predictor of hemorrhagic stroke (1.09, 1.03-1.15). The time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for hemorrhagic stroke was 0.79. Conclusions Long-term elevated PP with higher systolic blood pressure confers a greater risk of subsequent hemorrhagic stroke among stroke patients with cerebral microbleeds or intracerebral hemorrhage.

Project description:IMPORTANCE:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe form of stroke. Survivors are at high risk of recurrence, death, and worsening functional disability. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the association between blood pressure (BP) after index ICH and risk of recurrent ICH. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:Single-site, tertiary care referral center observational study of 1145 of 2197 consecutive patients with ICH presenting from July 1994 to December 2013. A total of 1145 patients with ICH survived at least 90 days and were followed up through December 2013 (median follow-up of 36.8 months [minimum, 9.8 months]). EXPOSURES:Blood pressure measurements at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, and every 6 months thereafter, obtained from medical personnel (inpatient hospital or outpatient clinic medical or nursing staff) or via patient self-report. Exposure was characterized in 3 ways: (1) recorded systolic and diastolic measurements; (2) classification as adequate or inadequate BP control based on American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recommendations; and (3) stage of hypertension based on Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure 7 criteria. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:Recurrent ICH and its location within the brain (lobar vs nonlobar). RESULTS:There were 102 recurrent ICH events among 505 survivors of lobar ICH and 44 recurrent ICH events among 640 survivors of nonlobar ICH. During follow-up adequate BP control was achieved on at least 1 measurement by 625 patients (54.6% of total [range, 49.2%-58.7%]) and consistently (ie, at all available time points) by 495 patients (43.2% of total [range, 34.5%-51.0%]). The event rate for lobar ICH was 84 per 1000 person-years among patients with inadequate BP control compared with 49 per 1000 person-years among patients with adequate BP control. For nonlobar ICH the event rate was 52 per 1000 person-years with inadequate BP control compared with 27 per 1000 person-years for patients with adequate BP control. In analyses modeling BP control as a time-varying variable, inadequate BP control was associated with higher risk of recurrence of both lobar ICH (hazard ratio [HR], 3.53 [95% CI, 1.65-7.54]) and nonlobar ICH (HR, 4.23 [95% CI, 1.02-17.52]). Systolic BP during follow-up was associated with increased risk of both lobar ICH recurrence (HR, 1.33 per 10-mm Hg increase [95% CI, 1.02-1.76]) and nonlobar ICH recurrence (HR, 1.54 [95% CI, 1.03-2.30]). Diastolic BP was associated with increased risk of nonlobar ICH recurrence (HR, 1.21 per 10-mm Hg increase [95% CI, 1.01-1.47]) but not with lobar ICH recurrence (HR, 1.36 [95% CI, 0.90-2.10]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:In this observational single-center cohort study of ICH survivors, reported BP measurements suggesting inadequate BP control during follow-up were associated with higher risk of both lobar and nonlobar ICH recurrence. These data suggest that randomized clinical trials are needed to address the benefits and risks of stricter BP control in ICH survivors.

Project description:Background Data on the relative contribution of clinical and neuroimaging risk factors to acute ischemic stroke (AIS) versus intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurring on oral anticoagulant treatment are scarce. Methods and Results Cross-sectional study was done on consecutive oral anticoagulant-treated patients presenting with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or ICH from the prospective observational NOACISP (Novel-Oral-Anticoagulants-In-Stroke-Patients)-Acute registry. We compared clinical and neuroimaging characteristics (small vessel disease markers and atherosclerosis) in ICH versus AIS/TIA (reference) using logistic regression. Among 734 patients presenting with stroke on oral anticoagulant treatment (404 [55%] direct oral anticoagulants, 330 [45%] vitamin K antagonists), 605 patients (82%) had AIS/TIA and 129 (18%) had ICH. Prior AIS/TIA, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, and worse renal function were associated with AIS/TIA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] [95% CI] 0.51 [0.32-0.82], 0.48 [0.26-0.86], 0.55 [0.34-0.89], and 0.82 [0.75-0.90] per 10 mL/min). Prior ICH, older age, higher admission blood pressure, and statin treatment were associated with ICH (aOR [95% CI] 6.33 [2.87-14.04], 1.37 [1.04-1.81] per 10 years, 1.19 [1.10-1.29] per 10 mm Hg, and 1.81 [1.09-3.03]). Cerebral microbleeds and moderate-to-severe white matter hyperintensities contributed more to ICH (aOR [95% CI] 2.77 [1.34-6.18], and 2.62 [1.28-5.63]). Aortic arch, common and internal carotid artery atherosclerosis, and internal carotid artery stenosis ≥50% contributed more to AIS/TIA (aOR [95% CI] 0.54 [0.31-0.90], 0.29 [0.05-0.97], 0.48 [0.30-0.76], and 0.32 [0.13-0.67]). Conclusions In patients presenting with stroke on oral anticoagulant, AIS/TIA was 5 times more common than ICH. A high atherosclerotic burden (indicated by cardiovascular comorbidities and extracranial atherosclerosis) and prior AIS/TIA contributed more to AIS/TIA, while small vessel disease markers and prior ICH were stronger determinants for ICH.

Project description:Prior intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. Since white matter hyperintensity (WMH) is associated with ischemic stroke and ICH, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between ICH and the risk of recurrent stroke by WMH severity. From a prospective multicenter database comprising 1454 noncardioembolic stroke patients with cerebral small-vessel disease, patients were categorized by presence or absence of prior ICH and WMH severity: mild-moderate WMH (reference); advanced WMH; ICH with mild-moderate WMH; and ICH with advanced WMH. Among patients with ICH, the association with stroke outcomes by WMH burden was further assessed. The primary endpoint was ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE): stroke/coronary heart disease/vascular death. During the mean 1.9-year follow-up period, the ischemic stroke incidence rate per 100 person-years was 2.7, 4.0, 2.5, and 8.1 in increasing severity, and the rate of hemorrhagic stroke was 0.7, 1.3, 0.6, and 2.1, respectively. The risk of ischemic stroke was higher in ICH with advanced WMH (adjusted HR 2.62; 95% CI 1.22-5.60) than the reference group, while the risk of hemorrhagic stroke trended higher (3.75, 0.85-16.53). The risk of MACE showed a similar pattern in ICH with advanced WMH. Among ICH patients, compared with mild WMH, the risk of ischemic stroke trended to be higher in advanced WMH (HR 3.37; 95% CI 0.90‒12.61). Advanced WMH was independently associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HR 33.96; 95% CI 1.52-760.95). Given the fewer rate of hemorrhagic stroke, the risk of hemorrhagic stroke might not outweigh the benefits of antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention.

Project description:ObjectivesTo develop and validate 10-year cumulative incidence functions of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and ischemic stroke (IS).MethodsWe used data on 27,493 participants from 3 population-based cohort studies: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, median age 54 years, 45% male, median follow-up 20.7 years; the Rotterdam Study, median age 68 years, 38% male, median follow-up 14.3 years; and the Cardiovascular Health Study, median age 71 years, 41% male, median follow-up 12.8 years. Among these participants, 325 ICH events, 2,559 IS events, and 9,909 nonstroke deaths occurred. We developed 10-year cumulative incidence functions for ICH and IS using stratified Cox regression and competing risks analysis. Basic models including only established nonlaboratory risk factors were extended with diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and glomerular filtration rate. The cumulative incidence functions' performances were cross-validated in each cohort separately by Harrell C-statistic and calibration plots.ResultsHigh total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio decreased the ICH rates but increased IS rates (p for difference across stroke types <0.001). For both the ICH and IS models, C statistics increased more by model extension in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities and Cardiovascular Health Study cohorts. Improvements in C statistics were reproduced by cross-validation. Models were well calibrated in all cohorts. Correlations between 10-year ICH and IS risks were moderate in each cohort.ConclusionsWe developed and cross-validated cumulative incidence functions for separate prediction of 10-year ICH and IS risk. These functions can be useful to further specify an individual's stroke risk.

Project description:Intracerebral hemorrhage remains a challenging worldwide clinical problem with no proven treatments. In the acute phase of the illness, there has been some controversy regarding the appropriate management of elevated blood pressure. Recently published and ongoing clinical trials are beginning to shed some light on appropriate blood pressure management in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. This brief review focuses on these trials. In the next few years, it is hoped that clinical uncertainty regarding this issue will be obviated after completion of these trials.

Project description:ObjectivesTo investigate the effects of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering according to baseline BP levels and optimal achieved BP levels in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsINTERACT2 was an open, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial in 2,839 patients with ICH within 6 hours of onset and elevated systolic BP (SBP) (150-220 mm Hg) who were allocated to receive intensive (target SBP <140 mm Hg within 1 hour, with lower limit of 130 mm Hg for treatment cessation) or guideline-recommended (target SBP <180 mm Hg) BP-lowering treatment. Outcome was physical function across all 7 levels of the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days.ResultsAnalysis of the randomized comparisons showed that intensive BP lowering produced comparable benefits on physical function at 90 days in 5 subgroups defined by baseline SBP of <160, 160-169, 170-179, 180-189, and ≥190 mm Hg (p homogeneity = 0.790). Analyses of achieved BP showed linear increases in the risk of physical dysfunction for achieved SBP above 130 mm Hg for both hyperacute (1-24 hours) and acute (2-7 days) phases while modest increases were also observed for achieved SBP below 130 mm Hg.ConclusionsIntensive BP lowering appears beneficial across a wide range of baseline SBP levels, and target SBP level of 130-139 mm Hg is likely to provide maximum benefit in acute ICH.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class I evidence that the effect of intensive BP lowering on physical function is not influenced by baseline BP.

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.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess race-ethnic differences in acute blood pressure (BP) following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the contribution to disparities in ICH outcome.MethodsBPs in the field (emergency medical services [EMS]), emergency department (ED), and at 24 hours were compared and adjusted for group differences between non-Hispanic black (black), non-Hispanic white (white), and Hispanic participants in the Ethnic Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage case-control study. Outcome was obtained by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months. We analyzed race-ethnic differences in good outcome (mRS ≤ 2) and mortality after adjusting for baseline differences and included BP recordings in this model.ResultsOf 2,069 ICH cases enrolled, 30% were white, 37% black, and 33% Hispanic. Black and Hispanic patients had higher EMS and ED systolic and diastolic BPs compared with white patients (p = 0.0001). Although attenuated, at 24 hours after admission, black patients had higher systolic and diastolic BPs. After adjusting for baseline differences, significant race/ethnic differences persisted for EMS systolic, ED systolic and diastolic, and 24-hours diastolic BP. Only ED systolic and diastolic BP was associated with poor functional outcome, and no BP predicted mortality. We found no race-ethnic differences in 3-month functional outcome or mortality after adjusting for group differences, including acute BPs.ConclusionsAlthough black and Hispanic patients had higher BPs than white patients at presentation, we did not find race-ethnic disparities in 3-month functional outcome or mortality. ED systolic and diastolic BP was associated with poor functional outcome, but not mortality, in this race-ethnically diverse population.

Project description:BackgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a disease with high mortality and a substantial risk of recurrence. However, the recurrence risk is poorly documented and the knowledge of potential predictors for recurrence among co-morbidities and medicine with antithrombotic effect is limited.Objectives1) To estimate the short- and long-term cumulative risks of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). 2) To investigate associations between typical comorbid diseases, surgical treatment, use of medicine with antithrombotic effects, including antithrombotic treatment (ATT), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) with recurrent ICH.MethodsThe cohort consisted of all individuals diagnosed with a primary ICH in Denmark 1996-2011. Information on comorbidities, surgical treatment for the primary ICH, and the use of ATT, SSRI's and NSAID's was retrieved from the Danish national health registers. The cumulative recurrence risk of ICH was estimated using the Aalen-Johansen estimator, thus taking into account the competing risk of death. Associations with potential predictors of recurrent ICH were estimated as rate ratios (RR's) using Poisson regression. Propensity score matching was used for the analyses of medicine with antithrombotic effects.ResultsAmong 15,270 individuals diagnosed with a primary ICH, 2,053 recurrences were recorded, resulting in cumulative recurrence risk of 8.9% after one year and 13.7% after five years. Surgical treatment and renal insufficiency were associated with increased recurrence risks (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.39-1.93 and RR 1.72, 95% CI 1.34-2.17, respectively), whereas anti-hypertensive treatment was associated with a reduced risk (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.74-0.91). We observed non-significant associations between the use of any of the investigated medicines with antithrombotic effect (ATT, SSRI's, NSAID's) and recurrent ICH.ConclusionsThe substantial short-and long-term recurrence risks warrant aggressive management of hypertension following a primary ICH, particularly in patients treated surgically for the primary ICH, and patients with renal insufficiency.
