Project description:BackgroundSevere hematoma expansion (sHE) has the strongest impact on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcome. We investigated the predictors of sHE.MethodsRetrospective analysis of ICH patients admitted at nine sites in Italy, Germany, China, and Canada. The following imaging features were analyzed: non-contrast CT (NCCT) hypodensities, heterogeneous density, blend sign, irregular shape, and CT angiography (CTA) spot sign. The outcome of interest was sHE, defined as volume increase >66% and/or >12.5 from baseline to follow-up NCCT. Predictors of sHE were explored with logistic regression.ResultsA total of 1472 patients were included (median age 73, 56.6% males) of whom 223 (15.2%) had sHE. Age (odds ratio (OR) per year, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02 (1.01-1.04)), Anticoagulant treatment (OR 3.00, 95% CI 2.09-4.31), Glasgow Coma Scale (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.89-0.98), time from onset/last known well to imaging, (OR per h 0.96, 95% CI 0.93-0.99), and baseline ICH volume, (OR per mL 1.02, 95% CI 1.02-1.03) were independently associated with sHE. Ultra-early hematoma growth (baseline volume/baseline imaging time) was also a predictor of sHE (OR per mL/h 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02). All NCCT and CTA imaging markers were also predictors of sHE. Amongst imaging features NCCT hypodensities had the highest sensitivity (0.79) whereas the CTA spot sign had the highest positive predictive value (0.51).ConclusionssHE is common in the natural history of ICH and can be predicted with few clinical and imaging variables. These findings might inform clinical practice and future trials targeting active bleeding in ICH.

Project description:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can be a devastating complication of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We aimed to assess risk factors associated with ICH in this population. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to NYU Langone Health system between March 1 and April 27 2020 with a positive nasopharyngeal swab polymerase chain reaction test result and presence of primary nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage or hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic stroke on neuroimaging. Patients with intracranial procedures, malignancy, or vascular malformation were excluded. We used regression models to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (OR, 95% CI) of the association between ICH and covariates. We also used regression models to determine association between ICH and mortality. Among 3824 patients admitted with COVID-19, 755 patients had neuroimaging and 416 patients were identified after exclusion criteria were applied. The mean (standard deviation) age was 69.3 (16.2), 35.8% were women, and 34.9% were on therapeutic anticoagulation. ICH occurred in 33 (7.9%) patients. Older age, non-Caucasian race, respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, and therapeutic anticoagulation were associated with ICH on univariate analysis (p < 0.01 for each variable). In adjusted regression models, anticoagulation use was associated with a five-fold increased risk of ICH (OR 5.26, 95% CI 2.33-12.24, p < 0.001). ICH was associated with increased mortality (adjusted OR 2.6, 95 % CI 1.2-5.9). Anticoagulation use is associated with increased risk of ICH in patients with COVID-19. Further investigation is required to elucidate underlying mechanisms and prevention strategies in this population.

Project description:ObjectivesPatients with severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) often suffer from impaired capacity and rely on surrogates for decision-making. Restrictions on visitors within healthcare facilities during the pandemic may have impacted care and disposition for patient with ICH. We investigated outcomes of ICH patients during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to a pre-pandemic period.Materials and methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of ICH patients from two sources: (1) University of Rochester Get With the Guidelines database and (2) the California State Inpatient Database (SID). Patients were divided into 2019-2020 pre-pandemic and 2020 pandemic groups. We compared mortality, discharge, and comfort care/hospice. Using single-center data, we compared 30-day readmissions and follow-up functional status.ResultsThe single-center cohort included 230 patients (n = 122 pre-pandemic, n = 108 pandemic group), and the California SID included 17,534 patients (n = 10,537 pre-pandemic, n = 6,997 pandemic group). Inpatient mortality was no different before or during the pandemic in either cohort. Length of stay was unchanged. During the pandemic, more patients were discharged to hospice in the California SID (8.4% vs. 5.9%, p<0.001). Use of comfort care was similar before and during the pandemic in the single center data. Survivors in both datasets were more likely to be discharged home vs. facility during the pandemic. Thirty-day readmissions and follow-up functional status in the single-center cohort were similar between groups.ConclusionsUsing a large database, we identified more ICH patients discharged to hospice during the COVID-19 pandemic and, among survivors, more patients were discharged home rather than healthcare facility discharge during the pandemic.

Project description:BackgroundSpasticity is a common complication of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, no consensus exists on the relation between spasticity and initial clinical findings after ICH.MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled adult patients with a history of ICH between January 2012 and October 2020. The modified Ashworth scale was used to assess spasticity. A trained image analyst traced all ICH lesions. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between ICH lesion sites and spasticity.ResultsWe finally analyzed 304 patients (mean age 54.86 ± 12.93 years; 72.04% men). The incidence of spasticity in patients with ICH was 30.92%. Higher National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores were associated with an increased predicted probability for spasticity (odds ratio, OR = 1.153 [95% confidence interval, CI 1.093-1.216], p < .001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that lower age, higher NIHSS scores, and drinking were associated with an increased risk of moderate-to-severe spasticity (OR = 0.965 [95% CI 0.939-0.992], p = .013; OR = 1.068 [95% CI 1.008-1.130], p = .025; OR = 4.809 [95% CI 1.671-13.840], p = .004, respectively). However, smoking and ICH in the thalamus were associated with a reduced risk of moderate-to-severe spasticity (OR = 0.200 [95% CI 0.071-0.563], p = .002; OR = 0.405 [95% CI 0.140-1.174], p = .046, respectively) compared with ICH in the basal ganglia.ConclusionsOur results suggest that ICH lesion locations are at least partly associated with post-stroke spasticity rather than the latter simply being a physiological reaction to ICH itself. The predictors for spasticity after ICH were age, NIHSS scores, past medical history, and ICH lesion sites.

Project description:Background and purposeIntracerebral hemorrhage is a considerable source of morbidity and mortality. This 3-center study describes outcomes of pediatric intracerebral hemorrhage and identifies 2-year neurological outcome predictors.MethodsChildren 29 days to 18 years of age presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage from March 2007 to May 2015 were enrolled prospectively. Exclusion criteria included trauma; intracranial tumor; hemorrhagic transformation of arterial ischemic stroke or cerebral sinovenous thrombosis; isolated subdural, epidural, or subarachnoid hemorrhage; and abnormal baseline neurological function. Intracerebral hemorrhage and total brain volumes were measured on neuroimaging. The Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure assessed outcomes.ResultsSixty-nine children were included (median age: 9.7 years; interquartile range: 2.2-14). Six children (9%) died during hospitalization. Outcomes in survivors were assessed at early follow-up in 98% (median 3.1 months; interquartile range: 3.1-3.8) and at later follow-up in 94% (median: 2.1 years; interquartile range: 1.3-2.8). Over a third had a significant disability at 2 years (Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure >2). Total Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure score improved over time (P=0.0003), paralleling improvements in the sensorimotor subscore (P=0.0004). Altered mental status (odds ratio, 13; 95% confidence interval, 3.9-46; P<0.001), hemorrhage volume ≥4% of total brain volume (odds ratio, 17; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-156; P=0.01), and intensive care unit length of stay (odds ratio, 1.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.2; P=0.002) were significantly associated with poor 2-year outcome.ConclusionsOver one third of children experienced significant disability at 2 years. Improvements in outcomes were driven by recovery of sensorimotor function. Altered mental status, hemorrhage volume ≥4% of total brain volume, and intensive care unit length of stay were independent predictors of significant disability at 2 years.

Project description:ObjectiveDespite no clear evidence from randomized trials, surgical intervention of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) still occurs. We sought to describe the characteristics of patients undergoing surgical intervention in ICH.MethodsData from the ERICH (ERICH Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage) study were analyzed, and patients with ICH were categorized into surgical intervention or nonoperative management groups. Patients with primary intraventricular hemorrhage and those without data regarding the use of surgical intervention were excluded.ResultsThe study cohort comprised 2947 patients, and surgical intervention was performed in 289 (10%). Younger age (odds ratio [OR], 0.967; P < 0.001), lower baseline modified Rankin Scale score (OR, 0.728; P < 0.001), higher admission Glasgow Coma Scale score (OR, 1.059; P = 0.007), larger ICH volume (OR, 1.037; P < 0.001), infratentorial ICH location (OR, 5.966; P < 0.001), lobar ICH location (OR, 1.906; P = 0.001), lack of intraventricular hemorrhage (OR, 0.567; P = 0.001), intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring (OR, 5.022; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.389; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of surgical intervention. Younger age (OR, 0.953; P < 0.001), lower baseline modified Rankin Scale score (OR, 0.713; P = 0.002), larger ICH volume (OR, 1.033; P < 0.001), lobar ICH location (OR, 2.467; P < 0.001), ICP monitoring (OR, 3.477; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.139; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of surgical interventions in supratentorial ICHs. Larger ICH volume (OR, 1.078; P < 0.001), ICP monitoring (OR, 6.099; P < 0.001), and mannitol use (OR, 2.952; P = 0.005) were independent predictors of surgical interventions in infratentorial ICHs.ConclusionsWe identified multiple factors associated with surgical intervention for patients with ICH. Younger age, good neurologic function at baseline, large ICH volume on presentation, and lobar or infratentorial hematomas were independently associated with surgical intervention in patients with ICH .

Project description:ImportanceHematoma volume is the strongest predictor of outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Despite known differences in the underlying biology between deep and lobar ICHs, limited data are available on location specificity of factors reported to affect hematoma volume.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether determinants of ICH volume differ by topography, we sought to estimate location-specific effects for potential predictors of this radiological outcome.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingAcademic medical center.ParticipantsA total of 744 supratentorial primary ICH patients (388 deep and 356 lobar) aged older than 18 years admitted between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2010.Main outcomes and measuresIntracerebral hemorrhage volume measured from the computed tomography scan obtained on presentation to the emergency department. Linear regression analysis, stratified by ICH location, was implemented to identify determinants of log-transformed ICH volume.ResultsMedian ICH volume was larger in lobar hemorrhages (39 mL; interquartile range, 16-75 mL) than in deep hemorrhages (13 mL; interquartile range, 5-40 mL; P < .001). In multivariable linear regression, independent predictors of deep ICH volume were intensity of anticoagulation (β = 0.32; standard error [SE] = 0.08; P < .001; test for trend across 4 categories of the international normalized ratio), history of coronary artery disease (β = 0.33; SE = 0.17; P = .05), male sex (β = 0.28; SE = 0.14; P = .05), and age (β = -0.02; SE = 0.01; P = .001). Independent predictors of lobar ICH volume were intensity of anticoagulation (β = 0.14; SE = 0.06; P = .02) and antiplatelet treatment (β = 0.27; SE = 0.13; P = .03).Conclusions and relevancePredictors of hematoma volume only partially overlap between deep and lobar ICHs. These findings suggest that the mechanisms that determine the extent of bleeding differ for deep and lobar ICHs. Further studies are needed to characterize the specific biological pathways that underlie the observed associations.

Project description:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ICH and its severe form is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study investigates transcriptomic alterations in rodent models of ICH and severe intracerebral hemorrhage to shed light on the genetic pathways involved in hemorrhagic brain injury. We performed principal component analysis, revealing distinct principal component segments of normal rats compared to intracerebral hemorrhage and severe intracerebral hemorrhage rats. We further employed heatmaps and volcano plots to identify differentially expressed genes and utilized bar plots and KEGG pathway analysis to elucidate the different molecular pathways involved. Using comprehensive RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses, we identified a multitude of differentially expressed genes in both the ICH and severe ICH models. Our results revealed 5679 common genes among the normal, intracerebral hemorrhage, and severe intracerebral hemorrhage groups in the upregulated genes group, and 1196 common genes in the downregulated genes. A volcano plot comparing the groups further highlighted common genes, including PDPN, TIMP1, SERPINE1, TUBB6, and CD44. These findings underscore the complex interplay of genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage. Furthermore, pathway enrichment analysis uncovered key signaling pathways, including the TNF signaling pathway, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, MAPK signaling pathway, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, implicated in the pathogenesis of ICH.

Project description:Background and purposeThe purposes of this study were to describe features of children with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and to determine predictors of short-term outcome in a single-center prospective cohort study.MethodsA single-center prospective consecutive cohort study was conducted of spontaneous ICH in children aged 1 to 18 years from January 2006 to June 2008. Exclusion criteria were inciting trauma; intracranial tumor; isolated epidural, subdural, intraventricular, or subarachnoid hemorrhage; hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke; and cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. Hospitalization records were abstracted. Follow-up assessments included outcome scores using the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure and King's Outcome Scale for Childhood Head Injury. ICH volumes and total brain volumes were measured by manual tracing.ResultsTwenty-two patients, median age 10.3 years (range, 4.2 to 16.6 years), had presenting symptoms of headache in 77%, focal deficits 50%, altered mental status 50%, and seizures 41%. Vascular malformations caused hemorrhage in 91%. Surgical treatment (hematoma evacuation, lesion embolization or excision) was performed during acute hospitalization in 50%. One patient died acutely. At a median follow-up of 3.5 months (range, 0.3 to 7.5 months), 71% of survivors had neurological deficits; 55% had clinically significant disability. Outcome based on Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure and King's Outcome Scale for Childhood Head Injury scores was worse in patients with ICH volume >2% of total brain volume (P=0.023) and altered mental status at presentation (P=0.005).ConclusionsSpontaneous childhood ICH was due mostly to vascular malformations. Acute surgical intervention was commonly performed. Although death was rare, 71% of survivors had persisting neurological deficits. Larger ICH volume and altered mental status predicted clinically significant disability.

Project description:BackgroundHypercoagulability in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism necessitating systemic anticoagulation. Case reports of intracerebral hemorrhages in ventilated COVID-19 patients warrant precaution. It is unclear, however, if COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with or without veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (VV-ECMO) have more intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) compared to other ARDS patients.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective observational single-center study enrolling all patients with ARDS from 01/2018 to 05/2020. PCR-positive SARS-CoV-2 patients with ARDS were allocated to the COVID-19 group. Propensity score matching was performed for age, VV-ECMO, and bleeding risk.ResultsA total of 163 patients with moderate or severe ARDS were identified, 47 (28.8%) in the COVID-19 group, and 116 (71.2%) in the non-COVID-19 group. In 63/163 cases (38.7%), VV-ECMO therapy was required. The ICU survival was 52.8%. COVID-19 patients were older, more often male, and exhibited a lower SOFA score, but the groups showed similar rates of VV-ECMO therapy. Treatments with antiplatelet agents (p = 0.043) and therapeutic anticoagulation (p = 0.028) were significantly more frequent in the COVID-19 patients. ICH was detected in 22 patients (13.5%) with no statistical difference between the groups (11.2 vs. 19.1% without and with SARS-CoV-2, respectively, p = 0.21). Propensity score matching confirmed similar rates of ICH in both groups (12.8 vs. 19.1% without and with SARS-CoV-2, respectively, p = 0.57), thus leveling out possible confounders.ConclusionsIntracerebral hemorrhage was detected in every tenth patient with ARDS. Despite statistically higher rates of antiplatelet therapy and therapeutic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients, we found a similar rate of ICH in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 compared to other causes of ARDS.
