Abstract
Background The relationship between early perihematomal edema (PHE) and hematoma expansion (HE) is unclear. We investigated this relationship in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), using radiomics. Methods In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed 490 patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent non-contrast computed tomography within 6 h of symptom onset, with follow-up imaging at 24 h. We performed HE and PHE image segmentation, and feature extraction and selection to identify HE-associated optimal radiomics features. We calculated radiomics scores of hematoma (Radscores_HEA) and PHE (Radscores_PHE) and constructed a combined model (Radscore_HEA_PHE). Relationships of the PHE radiomics features or Radscores_PHE with clinical variables, hematoma imaging signs, Radscores_HEA, and HE were assessed by univariate, correlation, and multivariate analyses. We compared predictive performances in the training (n = 296) and validation (n = 194) cohorts. Results Shape_VoxelVolume and Shape_MinorAxisLength of PHE were identified as optimal radiomics features associated with HE. Radscore_PHE (odds ratio = 1.039, p = 0.032) was an independent HE risk factor after adjusting for the ICH onset time, Glasgow Coma Scale score, baseline hematoma volume, hematoma shape, hematoma density, midline shift, and Radscore_HEA. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of Radscore_PHE in the training and validation cohorts were 0.808 and 0.739, respectively. After incorporating Radscore_PHE, the integrated discrimination improvements of Radscore_HEA_PHE in the training and validation cohorts were 0.009 (p = 0.086) and -0.011 (p < 0.001), respectively. Conclusion Radscore_PHE, based on Shape_VoxelVolume and Shape_MinorAxisLength of PHE, independently predicts HE, while Radscore_PHE did not add significant incremental value to Radscore_HEA.

Intracerebral haemorrhage expansion: definitions, predictors, and prevention. Lancet Neurol 2023; 22:159-171. [PMID: 36309041 DOI: 10.1016/s1474-4422(22)00338-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Haematoma expansion affects a fifth of patients within 24 h of the onset of acute intracerebral haemorrhage and is associated with death and disability, which makes it an appealing therapeutic target. The time in which active intervention can be done is short as expansion occurs mostly within the first 3 h after onset. Baseline haemorrhage volume, antithrombotic treatment, and CT angiography spot signs are each associated with increased risk of haematoma expansion. Non-contrast CT features are promising predictors of haematoma expansion, but their potential contribution to current models is under investigation. Blood pressure lowering and haemostatic treatment minimise haematoma expansion but have not led to improved functional outcomes in randomised clinical trials. Ultra-early enrolment and selection of participants on the basis of non-contrast CT imaging markers could focus future clinical trials to show clinical benefit in people at high risk of expansion or investigate heterogeneity of treatment effects in clinical trials with broad inclusion criteria.

Brain Commun 2023; 5:fcad133. [PMID: 37151226 PMCID: PMC10162681 DOI: 10.1093/braincomms/fcad133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Perihaematomal oedema is a potential therapeutic target to improve outcome of patients with intracerebral haemorrhage, but its pathophysiology remains poorly elucidated. We investigated the longitudinal changes of cerebral perfusion and their influence on perihaematomal oedema development in 150 patients with intracerebral haemorrhage who underwent computed tomography perfusion within 6 h from onset, at 24 h and at 7 days. Perfusion parameters were measured in haemorrhagic core, perihaematomal rim, surrounding normal appearing and contralateral brain tissue. Computed tomography perfusion parameters gradually improved from the core to the periphery in each time interval with an early increase at 24 h followed by a delayed decline at 7 days compared with admission values (P < 0.001). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that haematoma volume and cerebral blood flow gradient between normal appearing and perihaematomal rim were independently associated with absolute perihaematomal oedema volume in the different time points (within 6 h, B = 0.128, P = 0.032; at 24 h, B = 0.133, P = 0.016; at 7 days, B = 0.218, P < 0.001). In a secondary analysis with relative perihaematomal oedema as the outcome of interest, cerebral blood flow gradient between normal appearing and perihaematomal rim was an independent predictor of perihaematomal oedema only at 7 days (B = 0.239, P = 0.002). Our findings raise the intriguing hypothesis that perfusion gradients promote perihaematomal oedema development in the subacute phase after intracerebral haemorrhage.

Eur Radiol 2023; 33:690-698. [PMID: 35895123 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-08987-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the combined analysis of non-contrast CT (NCCT) and CT perfusion (CTP) imaging markers improves prediction of hematoma expansion (HE) and outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS Retrospective, single-center analysis of patients with primary ICH undergoing NCCT and CTP within 6 h from onset. NCCT images were assessed for the presence of intrahematomal hypodensity and shape irregularity. Perihematomal cerebral blood volume and spot sign were assessed on CTP. The main outcomes of the analysis were HE (growth > 6 mL and/or > 33%) and poor functional prognosis (90 days modified Rankin Scale 3-6). Predictors of HE and outcome were explored with logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 150 subjects were included (median age 68, 47.1% males) of whom 54 (36%) had HE and 52 (34.7%) had poor outcome. The number of imaging markers on baseline imaging was independently associated with HE (odds ratio 2.66, 95% confidence interval 1.70-4.17, p < 0.001) and outcome (odds ratio 1.64, 95% CI 1.06-2.56, p = 0.027). Patients with the simultaneous presence of all the four markers had the highest risk of HE and unfavorable prognosis (mean predicted probability of 91% and 79% respectively). The combined-markers analysis outperformed the sensitivity of the single markers analyzed separately. In particular, the presence of at least one marker identified patients with HE and poor outcome with 91% and 87% sensitivity respectively. CONCLUSION NCCT and CTP markers provide additional yield in the prediction of HE and ICH outcome. KEY POINTS • Perihematomal hypoperfusion is associated with hematoma expansion and poor outcome in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. • Non-contrast CT and CT perfusion markers improve prediction of hematoma expansion and unfavorable prognosis. • A multimodal CT protocol including CT perfusion will help the identification of patients at high risk of clinical deterioration and poor outcome.

A Nomogram Based on CT Radiomics and Clinical Risk Factors for Prediction of Prognosis of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2022; 2022:9751988. [DOI: 10.1155/2022/9751988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Purpose. To develop and validate a clinical-radiomics nomogram based on clinical risk factors and CT radiomics feature to predict hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) prognosis. Methods. A total of 195 patients with HICH treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into two cohorts for training (n = 138) and validation (n = 57) according to the ratio of 7 : 3. All CT radiomics features were extracted from intrahematomal, perihematomal, and combined intra- and perihematomal regions by using free open-source software called 3D slicer. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to select the optimal radiomics features, and the radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated. The relationship between Rad-score, clinical risk factors, and the HICH prognosis was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and the clinical-radiomics nomogram was built. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the clinical-radiomics nomogram in predicting the prognosis of HICH. Results. A total of 1702 radiomics features were extracted from the CT images of each patient for analysis. By univariate and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses, age, sex, RBC, serum glucose, D-dimer level, hematoma volume, and midline shift were clinical risk factors for the prognosis of HICH. Rad-score and clinical risk factors developed the clinical-radiomics nomogram. The nomogram showed the highest predictive efficiency in the training cohort (AUC = 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.92 to 0.98) and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.90, 95% CI, 0.82 to 0.98). The calibration curve indicated that the clinical-radiomics nomogram had good calibration. DCA showed that the nomogram had high applicability in clinical practice. Conclusions. The clinical-radiomics nomogram incorporated with the radiomics features and clinical risk factors has good potential in predicting the prognosis of HICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common subtype of stroke and places a great burden on the family and society with a high mortality and disability rate and a poor prognosis. Many findings from imaging and pathologic studies have suggested that cerebral ischemic lesions visualized on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with ICH are not rare and are generally considered to be associated with poor outcome, increased risk of recurrent (ischemic and hemorrhagic) stroke, cognitive impairment, and death. In this review, we describe the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and DWI lesions after ICH and discuss the risk factors and possible mechanisms related to the occurrence of DWI lesions, such as cerebral microangiopathy, cerebral atherosclerosis, aggressive early blood pressure lowering, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory response. We also point out that a better understanding of cerebral DWI lesions will be a key step toward potential therapeutic interventions to improve long-term recovery for patients with ICH.

Abstract
Aims To verify the association between leukocyte subpopulations and hematoma expansion (HE) determined by two definitions in Chinese individuals who experienced spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods We enrolled 471 patients. The 1/2ABC formula was used to gauge hematoma volume. The outcome was whether HE appeared within 72 h. We used Definition 1 (volume increase ≥6 mL or 33%) and Definition 2 (volume increase ≥12.5 mL or 33%) to define HE, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between leukocyte subpopulations and HE. For statistically significant leukocyte subpopulations, we also performed subgroup analyses to assess differences between subgroups. Results Among 471 patients, 131 (27.81%) and 116 (24.63%) patients experienced HE based on Definition 1 and Definition 2, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, elevated monocyte count was associated with a higher risk of HE-Definition 1 [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–5.88, P = 0.0450] and HE-Definition 2 (aOR 2.54, 95% CI 1.04–6.20, P = 0.0399). Additionally, we compared the results before and after adjusting for coagulation parameters. Monocyte count was significantly correlated with HE only after adjusting for coagulation parameters. Increased neutrophil count was associated with a lower risk of HE-Definition 1 (aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84–1.00, P = 0.0463). No correlations were observed between lymphocyte and leukocyte counts and HE (P > 0.05), and no subgroup interactions were observed (interaction P > 0.05). Conclusion A higher monocyte count is associated with a higher HE risk regardless of the two definitions, after excluding the influence of the coagulation parameters, which facilitates risk stratification. Moreover, an increased neutrophil count is associated with a decreased risk of HE in the context of HE-Definition 1, which reflects the importance of standardizing the definition of HE.

Early Deterioration and Long-Term Prognosis of Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Along With Hematoma Volume More Than 20 ml: Who Needs Surgery? Front Neurol 2022; 12:789060. [PMID: 35069417 PMCID: PMC8766747 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.789060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: The treatment of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage along with moderate hematoma and without cerebral hernia is controversial. This study aimed to explore risk factors and establish prediction models for early deterioration and poor prognosis. Methods: We screened patients from the prospective intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) registration database (RIS-MIS-ICH, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03862729). The enrolled patients had no brain hernia at admission, with a hematoma volume of more than 20 ml. All patients were initially treated by conservative methods and followed up ≥ 1 year. A decline of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) more than 2 or conversion to surgery within 72 h after admission was defined as early deterioration. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥ 4 at 1 year after stroke was defined as poor prognosis. The independent risk factors of early deterioration and poor prognosis were determined by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. The prediction models were established based on the weight of the independent risk factors. The accuracy and value of models were tested by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: After screening 632 patients with ICH, a total of 123 legal patients were included. According to statistical analysis, admission GCS (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.18–1.74; P < 0.001) and hematoma volume (OR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.84–0.97; P = 0.003) were the independent risk factors for early deterioration. Hematoma location (OR, 0.027; 95% CI, 0.004–0.17; P < 0.001) and hematoma volume (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.03–1.15; P < 0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor prognosis, and island sign had a trend toward significance (OR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.16-1.57; P = 0.051). The admission GCS and hematoma volume score were combined for an early deterioration prediction model with a score from 2 to 5. ROC curve showed an area under the curve (AUC) was 0.778 and cut-off point was 3.5. Combining the score of hematoma volume, island sign, and hematoma location, a long-term prognosis prediction model was established with a score from 2 to 6. ROC curve showed AUC was 0.792 and cutoff point was 4.5. Conclusions: The novel early deterioration and long-term prognosis prediction models are simple, objective, and accurate for patients with ICH along with a hematoma volume of more than 20 ml.

BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of perihematomal hypoperfusion in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that perihematomal hypoperfusion predicts poor ICH outcome and explored whether hematoma growth (HG) is the pathophysiological mechanism behind this association. METHODS A prospectively collected single-center cohort of consecutive ICH patients undergoing computed tomography perfusion on admission was analyzed. Cerebral blood flow (pCBF) was measured in the manually outlined perihematomal low-density area. pCBF was categorized into normal (40-55 mL/100 g/min), low (< 40 mL/100 g/min), and high (> 55 mL/100 g/min). HG was calculated as total volume increase from baseline to follow-up CT. A modified Rankin scale > 2 at three months was the outcome of interest. The association between cerebral perfusion and outcome was investigated with logistic regression, and potential mediators of this relationship were explored with mediation analysis. RESULTS A total of 155 subjects were included, of whom 55 (35.5%) had poor outcome. The rates of normal pCBF, low pCBF, and high pCBF were 17.4%, 68.4%, and 14.2%, respectively. After adjustment for confounders and keeping subjects with normal pCBF as reference, the risk of poor outcome was increased in patients with pCBF < 40 mL/100 g/min (odds ratio 6.11, 95% confidence interval 1.09-34.35, p = 0.040). HG was inversely correlated with pCBF (R = -0.292, p < 0.001) and mediated part of the association between pCBF and outcome (proportion mediated: 82%, p = 0.014). CONCLUSION Reduced pCBF is associated with poor ICH outcome in patients with mild-moderate severity. HG appears a plausible biological mediator but does not fully account for this association, and other mechanisms might be involved.

Abstract
PURPOSE The pathophysiological determinants of irregular intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) shape are unclear. We aimed at characterizing the relationship between perihematomal perfusion and ICH shape. METHODS A single-center cohort of patients with primary ICH was analyzed. Patients underwent computed tomography perfusion within 6 h from onset. Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) were calculated in the manually outlined perihematomal low-density region. ICH shape was rated on baseline non-contrast CT following international consensus criteria, and predictors of irregular shape were explored with logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 150 patients were included, of whom 66 (44%) had irregular shape. Perihematomal CBF was lower in irregular ICH (median 23 vs 35 mL/100 g/min, p<0.001). CBF<20 mL/100 g/min was independently associated with irregular shape (odds ratio 9.67, 95% CI 2.42-38.69, p=0.001). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that perihematomal hypoperfusion may contribute to the CT appearance of acute ICH.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between perihaematomal radiomics features and haematoma expansion (HE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and radiological data were collected retrospectively. The 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance the difference of baseline characteristics between patients with and without HE. Radiomics features were extracted from the intra- and perihaematomal regions. Top HE-associated features were selected using the minimum redundancy, maximum relevancy algorithm. Support vector machine models were used to predict HE. Predictive performance of radiomics features from different regions was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve and confusion matrix-derived metrics. RESULTS A total of 1,062 patients were enrolled. After PSM analysis, the propensity score-matched cohort (PSM cohort) included 314 patients (HE: n=157; non-HE: n=157). The PSM cohort was distributed into the training (n=218) and the validation cohorts (n=96). The predictive performance of intra- and perihaematomal features were comparable in the training (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], 0.751 versus 0.757; p=0.867) and the validation cohorts (AUC, 0.724 versus 0.671; p=0.454). By incorporating intra- and perihaematomal features, the combined model outperformed the single intrahaematomal model in the training cohort (AUC, 0.872 versus 0.751; p<0.001). Decision curve analysis (DCA) further confirmed the clinical usefulness of the combined model. CONCLUSION Perihaematomal radiomics features can predict HE. The integration of intra- and perihaematomal signatures may provide additional benefit to the prediction of HE.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10% to 20% of all strokes worldwide and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Neuroimaging is clinically important for the rapid diagnosis of ICH and underlying etiologies, but also for identification of ICH expansion, often as-sociated with an increased risk for poor outcome. In this context, rapid assessment of early hema-toma expansion risk is both an opportunity for therapeutic intervention and a potential hazard for hematoma evacuation surgery. In this review, we provide an overview of the current literature surrounding the use of multimodal neuroimaging of ICH for etiological diagnosis, prediction of early hematoma expansion, and prognostication of neurological outcome. Specifically, we discuss standard imaging using computed tomography, the value of different vascular imaging modalities to identify underlying causes and present recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography perfusion.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, despite being less common, it presents more aggressively and leads to more severe sequelae than ischemic stroke. There are two types of HS: Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), differing not only in the site of bleeding, but also in the mechanisms responsible for acute and subacute symptoms. This is a systematic review of databases in search of works of the last five years relating to the comprehension of both kinds of HS. Sixty two articles composed the direct findings of the recent literature and were further characterized to construct the pathophysiology in the order of events. The road to the understanding of the spontaneous HS pathophysiology is far from complete. Our findings show specific and individual results relating to the natural history of the disease of ICH and SAH, presenting common and different risk factors, distinct and similar clinical manifestations at onset or later days to weeks, and possible complications for both.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- We investigated whether subarachnoid extension (SAHE) of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with hematoma expansion (HE). Methods- Retrospective analysis of patients with primary spontaneous ICH admitted at 3 academic hospitals in Italy. The study population was divided into a development and a replication cohort. SAHE was rated on baseline noncontrast computed tomography by investigators blinded to clinical data. The main outcome of interest was HE, defined as ICH growth >33% mL and/or >6 mL. Predictors of HE were explored with multivariable logistic regression stratified by ICH location (lobar versus nonlobar). Results- A total of 360 and 192 patients were included in the development and replication cohort, respectively. SAHE was identified with good interrater reliability (K=0.82), and its frequency was 27.8% in the development and 24.5% in the replication cohort. In univariate analysis, HE was more common in patients with SAHE (52.0% versus 27.3%; P<0.001). When controlling for confounders in logistic regression, SAHE was an independent predictor of lobar HE (odds ratio, 6.00 [95% CI, 2.16-16.64]; P=0.001) whereas there was no association with HE in nonlobar ICH (odds ratio, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.17-1.84]; P=0.334). The increased risk of HE in lobar ICH with SAHE was confirmed in the replication cohort (odds ratio, 3.46 [95% CI, 1.07-11.20]; P=0.038). Conclusions- SAHE predicts HE in lobar ICH. This may improve the stratification of HE risk in clinical practice or future trials targeting HE. Further research is needed to confirm our findings and characterize the underlying biological mechanisms.
