Diagnostic utility of brain MRI in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: A retrospective cohort study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The diagnostic yield of brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. We performed both an independent single-center retrospective cohort study and a meta-analysis to assess the detection rate of secondary lesions on MRI in patients with spontaneous ICH.

Patients and methods

In the retrospective cohort study, we examined 856 consecutive patients with spontaneous ICH. Brain MRI scans on admission and follow-up were assessed for secondary lesions. We also examined clinical and CT radiographic variables associated with secondary lesions in univariable analysis. In the meta-analysis we searched PubMed and EMBASE for articles investigating the secondary lesion detection rate on brain MRI in spontaneous ICH.
