ABSTRACT: Object
We aimed to investigate the association of Haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes with perihematomal edema (PHE) and neurological outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods
This prospective multicenter study enrolled patients that suffered ICH from March 2017 to February 2020. Hp phenotypes were determined using Western blotting; relative α1 intensity was calculated in patients with Hp2-1. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was then conducted to identify risk factors for increased relative PHE at 96 h and 3-month poor outcomes.Results
In total, 120 patients were ultimately enrolled: Hp1-1 (n = 15, 12.5%); Hp2-1 (n = 51, 42.5%); and Hp2-2 (n = 54, 45.0%). Hp phenotype was significantly associated with PHE (p = 0.028). With Hp1-1 as a reference value, Hp2-2 significantly increased the likelihood of increased rPHE (OR = 6.294, 95% CI: 1.283-30.881), while Hp2-1 did not (OR = 2.843, 95% CI: 0.566-14.284). Poor outcomes were found to be closely associated with hematoma volume at admission (OR = 1.057, 95% CI: 1.015-1.101) and surgical treatment (OR = 5.340, 95% CI: 1.665-17.122) but not Hp phenotypes (p = 0.190). Further, a high level of relative α1 intensity was identified to be significantly associated with decreased rPHE (OR = 0.020, 95% CI: 0.001-0.358). However, the relative α1 intensity was not associated with poor outcomes (OR = 0.057, 95% CI: 0.001-11.790).Conclusions
ICH patients with Hp2-2 exhibited a higher likelihood of increased rPHE than those with Hp1-1. Higher relative α1 intensities were identified to be closely associated with rPHE in patients with Hp2-1.

Project description:Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is related to increased risk of cardiovascular events and is also closely associated with adverse outcomes after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. However, there are limited data about the effect of ALP on clinical outcomes after ICH. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ALP level and prognosis in ICH patients. Methods: From January 2014 to September 2016, 939 patients with spontaneous ICH were enrolled in our study from 13 hospitals in Beijing. Patients were categorized into four groups based on the ALP quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4). The main outcomes were 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6). Multivariable logistic regression and interaction analyses were performed to evaluate the relationships between ALP and clinical outcomes after ICH. Results: In the logistic regression analysis, compared with the third quartile of ALP, the adjusted odds ratios of the Q1, Q2, and Q4 for 30-day poor functional outcome were 1.31 (0.80-2.15), 1.16 (0.71-1.89), and 2.16 (1.32-3.55). In terms of 90-day and 1-year poor functional outcomes, the risks were significantly higher in the highest quartile of ALP compared with the third quartile after adjusting the confounding factors [90-day: highest quartile OR = 1.86 (1.12-3.10); 1-year: highest quartile OR = 2.26 (1.34-3.80)]. Moreover, there was no significant interaction between ALP and variables like age or sex. Conclusions: High ALP level (>94.8 U/L) was independently associated with 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year poor functional outcomes in ICH patients. Serum ALP might serve as a predictor for poor functional outcomes after ICH onset.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate whether delayed appearance of intraventricular hemorrhage (dIVH) represents an independent entity from intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) present on admission CT or is primarily related to the time interval between symptom onset and admission CT.MethodsA total of 282 spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, admitted February 2009-March 2014 to the neurological intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital, were prospectively enrolled in the ICH Outcomes Project. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations with acute mortality and functional long-term outcome (modified Rankin Scale).ResultsA cohort of 282 ICH patients was retrospectively studied: 151 (53.5%) had intraventricular hemorrhage on initial CT scan (iIVH). Of the remaining 131 patients, 19 (14.5%) developed IVH after the initial CT scan (dIVH). The median times from symptom onset to admission CT were 1.1, 6.0, and 7.4 hours for the dIVH, iIVH, and no IVH groups (Mann-Whitney U test, dIVH vs iIVH, p < 0.001) and median time from onset to dIVH detection was 7.2 hours. The increase in ICH volume following hospital admission was larger in dIVH than in iIVH and no IVH patients (mean 17.6, 0.2, and 0.4 mL). After controlling for components of the ICH score and hematoma expansion, presence of IVH on initial CT was associated with discharge mortality and poor outcome at 3, 6, and 12 months, but dIVH was not associated with any of the outcome measures.ConclusionsIn ICH patients, associated IVH on admission imaging is commonly encountered and is associated with poor long-term outcome. In contrast, dIVH on subsequent scans is far less common and does not appear to portend worse outcome.

Project description:BackgroundMagnesium (Mg) has potential hemostatic properties. We sought to investigate the potential association of serum Mg levels (at baseline and at 48 hours) with outcomes in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods and resultsWe reviewed data on all patients with spontaneous ICH with available Mg levels at baseline, over a 5-year period. Clinical and radiological outcome measures included initial hematoma volume, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and ICH scores, in-hospital mortality, favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores, 0-1), and functional independence (modified Rankin Scale scores, 0-2) at discharge. Our study population consisted of 299 patients with ICH (mean age, 61±13 years; mean admission serum Mg, 1.8±0.3 mg/dL). Increasing admission Mg levels strongly correlated with lower admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (Spearman's r, -0.141; P=0.015), lower ICH score (Spearman's r, -0.153; P=0.009), and lower initial hematoma volume (Spearman's r, -0.153; P=0.012). Higher admission Mg levels were documented in patients with favorable functional outcome (1.9±0.3 versus 1.8±0.3 mg/dL; P=0.025) and functional independence (1.9±0.3 versus 1.8±0.3 mg/dL; P=0.022) at discharge. No association between serum Mg levels at 48 hours and any of the outcome variables was detected. In multiple linear regression analyses, a 0.1-mg/dL increase in admission serum Mg was independently and negatively associated with the cubed root of hematoma volume at admission (regression coefficient, -0.020; 95% confidence interval, -0.040 to -0.000; P=0.049) and admission ICH score (regression coefficient, -0.053; 95% confidence interval, -0.102 to -0.005; P=0.032).ConclusionsHigher admission Mg levels were independently related to lower admission hematoma volume and lower admission ICH score in patients with acute spontaneous ICH.

Project description:After intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the brain parenchyma is exposed to blood containing red blood cells (RBCs) and consequently to its lysis products. Iron-rich hemoglobin (Hb) is the most abundant protein in RBCs. When released into the brain parenchyma during hemolysis, Hb becomes a central mediator of cytotoxicity. Our study indicates that haptoglobin (Hp), an acute-phase response protein primarily synthesized in the liver and known to bind and neutralize Hb in the bloodstream, is also expressed in brain in which it plays an important role in defending neurons from damage induced by hemolytic products after ICH. We demonstrate that the Hb-induced hypohaptoglobinemia aggravates ICH-induced brain damage while pharmacologic intervention with sulforaphane to induce brain Hp is linked to a reduction in brain damage. In agreement with these findings, Hp deficiency worsens whereas Hp overexpression alleviates ICH-mediated brain injury. We also identified that oligodendroglia are the primary source of brain-derived Hp among brain cells and that oligodendroglia-released Hp plays protective roles against Hb-mediated toxicity to neurons and oligodendrocytes. We conclude that Hp, particularly the brain-derived Hp, plays cytoprotective roles and represents a potential therapeutic target for ICH treatment.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Observational data suggest that antiplatelet therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) alleviates thromboembolic risk without increasing the risk of recurrent ICH. Given the paucity of data on the relationship between antiplatelet therapy after ICH and functional outcomes, we aimed to study this association in a multicenter cohort. Methods- We meta-analyzed data from (1) the Massachusetts General Hospital ICH registry (n=1854), (2) the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive database (n=762), and (3) the Yale stroke registry (n=185). Our exposure was antiplatelet therapy after ICH, which was modeled as a time-varying covariate. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and a composite of major disability or death (modified Rankin Scale score 4-6). We used Cox proportional regression analyses to estimate the hazard ratio of death or poor functional outcome as a function of antiplatelet therapy and random-effects meta-analysis to pool the estimated HRs across studies. Additional analyses stratified by hematoma location (lobar and deep ICH) were performed. Results- We included a total of 2801 ICH patients, of whom 288 (10.3%) were started on antiplatelet medications after ICH. Median times to antiplatelet therapy ranged from 7 to 39 days. Antiplatelet therapy after ICH was not associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.66-1.09), or death or major disability (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.59-1.16) compared with patients not started on antiplatelet therapy. Similar results were obtained in additional analyses stratified by hematoma location. Conclusions- Antiplatelet therapy after ICH appeared safe and was not associated with all-cause mortality or functional outcome, regardless of hematoma location. Randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the effects and harms of antiplatelet therapy after ICH.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Although cigarette use may be a risk for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), animal models suggest that nicotine has a potential neuroprotective effect. The aim of this multicenter study is to determine the effect of smoking history on outcome in ICH patients. Methods- We analyzed prospectively collected data from the Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage study and included patients with smoking status data in the analysis. Patients were dichotomized into nonsmokers versus ever-smokers, and the latter group was further categorized as former (>30 days before ICH) or current (?30 days before ICH) smokers. The primary outcome was 90-day modified Rankin Scale score shift analysis. Secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and mortality, Barthel Index, and self-reported health status measures at 90 days. Results- The overall study cohort comprised 1509 nonsmokers and 1423 ever-smokers (841 former, 577 current, 5 unknown). No difference in primary outcome was observed between nonsmokers versus ever-smokers (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.041; 95% CI, 0.904-1.199; P=0.577). No differences in primary outcome were observed between former (aOR, 0.932; 95% CI, 0.791-1.178; P=0.399) or current smokers (aOR, 1.178; 95% CI, 0.970-1.431; P=0.098) versus nonsmokers. Subgroup analyses by race/ethnicity demonstrated no differences in primary outcome when former and current smokers were compared with nonsmokers. Former, but not current, smokers had a lower in-hospital mortality rate (aOR, 0.695; 95% CI, 0.500-0.968; P=0.031), which was only observed in Hispanics (aOR, 0.533; 95% CI, 0.309-0.921; P=0.024). Differences in self-reported health status measures were only observed in whites. Conclusions- Cigarette smoking history does not seem to provide a beneficial effect on 90-day functional outcome in patients with ICH.

Project description:Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly lethal disease without effective therapeutic interventions. Anemia is prevalent in neurocritical disease and correlated with higher mortality in the intensive care unit. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the association between anemia and the clinical outcomes of ICH. Object: We aimed to assess the association between anemia and outcomes in patients with ICH. Methods: We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science from inception to November 2017. Eligible studies were cohort studies exploring the association between anemia and mortality or functional outcomes in patient with ICH. A Meta-analysis was performed, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 index. Sensitivity analyses were performed to account for heterogeneity and risk of bias. Effect estimates were combined using random effects model for mortality and poor outcomes. Results: We identified seven cohort studies with 7,328 ICH patients, including 1,546 patients with anemia. The meta-analysis revealed that anemia was associated with higher mortality {OR = 1.72 for 30-day mortality (95% CI 1.37 to 2.15; I2 = 64%; low-quality evidence); OR = 2.05 for 12-month mortality (95% CI 1.42 to 2.97; I2 = 82%; low-quality evidence)} and an increased risk of poor outcome in patients with ICH {OR = 2.29 for 3-month outcome (95% CI 1.16 to 4.51; I2 = 91%; very low-quality evidence); OR = 3.42 for 12-month outcome (95% CI 0.50 to 23.23; I2 = 96%; very low-quality evidence)}. Conclusions: Anemia on admission was associated with higher mortality and an increased risk of poor outcome in patients with ICH. However, the results were limited by the high heterogeneity of included studies. Prospective, multi-center or population-based, large sample cohort studies are needed in the future.

Project description:PURPOSE OF REVIEW:We review the current evidence for medical and surgical treatments of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). RECENT FINDINGS:Therapy with hemostatic agents (e.g. factor VIIa and tranexamic acid) if started early after bleeding onset may reduce hematoma expansion, but their clinical effectiveness has not been shown. Rapid anticoagulation reversal with prothrombin concentrates (PCC) plus vitamin K is the first choice in vitamin K antagonist-related ICH. In ICH related to dabigatran, anticoagulation can be rapidly reversed with idarucizumab. PCC are recommended for ICH related to FXa inhibitors, whereas specific reversal agents are not yet approved. While awaiting ongoing trials studying minimally invasive approaches or hemicraniectomy, the role of surgery in ICH remains to be defined. Therapies targeting downstream molecular cascades in order to prevent secondary neuronal damage are promising, but the complexity and multi-phased nature of ICH pathophysiology is challenging. Finally, in addition to blood pressure control, antithrombotic prevention after ICH has to consider the risk of recurrent bleeding as well as the risk of ischemic events. Treatment of acute ICH remains challenging, and many promising interventions for acute ICH await further evidence from trials.

Project description:ImportanceIntraventricular thrombolysis reduces intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) volume in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but it is unclear if a similar association with parenchymal ICH volume exists.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between intraventricular alteplase use and ICH volume as well as the association between a change in parenchymal ICH volume and long-term functional outcomes.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study was a post hoc exploratory analysis of data from the Clot Lysis: Evaluating Accelerated Resolution of Intraventricular Hemorrhage phase 3 randomized clinical trial with blinded outcome assessments. Between September 1, 2009, and January 31, 2015, patients with ICH and IVH were randomized to receive either intraventricular alteplase or normal saline via an external ventricular drain. Participants with primary IVH were excluded. Data analyses were performed between January 1 and June 30, 2021.ExposureRandomization to receive intraventricular alteplase.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was the change in parenchymal ICH volume between the hematoma stability and end-of-treatment computed tomography scans. Secondary outcomes were a modified Rankin Scale score higher than 3 and mortality, both of which were assessed at 6 months. The association between alteplase and change in parenchymal ICH volume was assessed using multiple linear regression, whereas the associations between change in parenchymal ICH volume and 6-month outcomes were assessed using multiple logistic regression. Prespecified subgroup analyses were performed for baseline IVH volume, admission ICH volume, and ICH location.ResultsA total of 454 patients (254 men [55.9%]; mean [SD] age, 59 [11] years) were included in the study. Of these patients, 230 (50.7%) were randomized to receive alteplase and 224 (49.3%) to receive normal saline. The alteplase group had a greater mean (SD) reduction in parenchymal ICH volume compared with the saline group (1.8 [0.2] mL vs 0.4 [0.1] mL; P < .001). In the primary analysis, alteplase use was associated with a change in the parenchymal ICH volume in the unadjusted analysis per 1-mL change (β, 1.37; 95% CI, 0.92-1.81; P < .001) and in multivariable linear regression analysis that was adjusted for demographic characteristics, stability ICH and IVH volumes, ICH location, and time to first dose of study drug per 1-mL change (β, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.79-1.62; P < .001). In the secondary analyses, no association was found between change in parenchymal ICH volume and poor outcome (odds ratio [OR], 0.97; 95% CI 0.87-1.10; P = .64) or mortality (OR, 0.97; 95% CI 0.99-1.08; P = .59). Similar results were observed in the subgroup analyses.Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that intraventricular alteplase use in patients with a large IVH was associated with a small reduction in parenchymal ICH volume, but this association did not translate into improved functional outcomes or mortality. Intraventricular thrombolysis should be examined in patients with moderate to large ICH with IVH, especially in a thalamic location.

Project description:Background and purposeRecovery after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is often slower than ischemic stroke. Despite this, ICH research often quantifies recovery using the same outcome measures obtained at the same timepoints as ischemic stroke. The primary objective of this scoping review is to map the existing literature to determine when and how outcomes are being measured in prospective studies of recovery after ICH.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Web of Science from inception to November 2019, for prospective studies that included patients with ICH. Two investigators independently screened the studies and extracted data around timing and type of outcome assessment.ResultsAmong the 9761 manuscripts reviewed, 395 met inclusion criteria, of which 276 were observational studies and 129 were interventional studies that enrolled 66274 patients. Mortality was assessed in 93% of studies. Functional outcomes were assessed in 85% of studies. The most frequently used functional assessment tool was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (60%), followed by the National Institute of Health Stroke Severity Scale (22%) and Barthel Index (21%). The most frequent timepoint at which mortality was assessed was 90 days (41%), followed by 180 days (18%) and 365 days (12%), with 2% beyond 1 year. The most frequent timepoint used for assessing mRS was 90 days (62%), followed by 180 days (21%) and 365 days (17%).ConclusionWhile most prospective ICH studies report mortality and functional outcomes only at 90 days, a significant proportion do so at 1 year and beyond. Our results support the feasibility of collecting long-term outcome data to optimally assess recovery in ICH.
