Left ventricular ejection fraction as an independent predictor of poor outcome in acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Few studies of the effect of cardiac abnormalities on acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes have been published. We sought to determine whether the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is associated with the functional outcome and mortality of acute ICH patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study on 364 acute ICH patients from January to December 2016. The primary outcome was defined by the modified Rankin Scale and mortality at 3 months. The associations between LVEF and outcome were investigated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

Depressed LVEF was significantly associated with a poor functional outcome with an odds ratio [OR] of 0.966, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.942-0.991, p = .008, and hig
