Key CT markers for predicting haemorrhagic transformation after ischaemic stroke: a prospective cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Limited studies have systematically addressed the CT markers of predicting haemorrhagic transformation (HT). We aimed to (1) investigate the predictive ability of the imaging factors on multimodal CT for HT and (2) identify the key CT markers that can accurately predict HT while maintaining easy and rapid assessment in the early stage of stroke.

Design and setting

This was a prospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary hospital in Southwest China.

Participants

Patients with ischaemic stroke admitted within 24 hours after onset were included.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was measured as the overall HT. The secondary outcomes were the presence of parenchymal haematoma, symptomatic HT and spontaneous HT.

Results

A total of 763 patient
