Postoperative fever and clinical outcomes after endoscopic surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a retrospective database study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is a severe stroke with high mortality and disability rates. Endoscopic surgery is an increasingly widely used minimally invasive method for the treatment of SICH. However, the impact of fever on patient outcomes remains unclear.

Methods

We retrospectively included patients aged 18 years or older with supratentorial SICH confirmed by CT, who underwent endoscopic hematoma evacuation within 48 h of symptom onset. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included hospital and neurosurgical intensive care unit (NSICU) stays, and perioperative complications. We analyzed the association between postoperative fever (highest temperature within 24 h after surgery) and these out
