Abstract
Abnormal serum Na (SNa) levels are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. There are relatively few studies on the effect of SNa indicators on the prognosis of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We aim to investigate the effect of long-term SNa levels on the survival and prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Newly entered HD patients in the registration system of Zhejiang Provincial Dialysis Quality Control Center between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019 were included and followed up until December 31, 2020. Multiple sodium levels were collected from patients, defining long-term SNa as the mean of multiple SNa, according to which patients were grouped, with the prognostic differences between subgroups compared by Kaplan-Meier modeling and multifactorial Cox regression modeling. Finally, a total of 21,701 patients were included in this study and Cox regression showed that decreased SNa levels (Na < 135 mmol/L, HR = 1.704, 95% CI 1.408-2.063, p < 0.001; 135≦Na≦137.5 mmol/L, HR = 1.127,95% CI 1.016-1.250, p = 0.024) and elevated SNa levels (142.5 < Na≦145mmol/L, HR = 1.198, 95% CI 1.063-1.350, p = 0.003; Na > 145mmol/L, HR = 2.150, 95% CI 1.615-2.863, p < 0.001) were all independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in MHD patients.

[PMID: 38562424 PMCID: PMC10982354 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1349710] [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: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background An association between prognosis and high sodium levels in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) has been noted, but limited research exists on the ideal sodium level in these patients or the impact on early mortality, using the MIMIC-IV database. Methods A retrospective survey was conducted on TBI patients from the MIMIC-IV database. Patients were divided into two categories based on their highest serum sodium level within 24 h of admission exceeding 145 mmol/L: those with hypernatremia, and those with moderate-to-low sodium levels. Collected covariates encompasses demographic, clinical, laboratory, and intervention variables. A multivariate logistic regression model was implemented to forecast in-hospital mortality. Results The study included 1749 TBI patients, with 209 (11.5%) experiencing in-hospital deaths. A non-linear test exposed an L-shaped correlation between sodium level and in-hospital mortality, with mortality rates increasing after a turning point at 144.1 mmol/L. Compared to the moderate-to-low group's 9.3% mortality rate, the hypernatremia group had a significantly higher mortality rate of 25.3% (crude odds ratio = 3.32, 95% confidence interval: 2.37 ~ 4.64, p < 0.001). After adjusting for all covariates, the hypernatremia group continued to show a significant correlation with higher mortality risk (adjusted odds ratio = 2.19, 95% confidence interval: 1.38 ~ 3.47, p = 0.001). This trend remained consistent regardless of the analyses stratification. Conclusion The study reveals an L-shaped relationship between sodium levels and in-hospital deaths, with a pivotal point at 144.1 mmol/L. TBI patients displaying hypernatremia were independently linked to higher in-hospital mortality, underlining the need for further studies into targeted management of sodium levels in these patients.

J Clin Anesth 2024; 92:111294. [PMID: 37944400 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Hypernatremia is a treatable biochemical disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. However, its impact on patients who undergo elective craniotomy is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic implications of postoperative hypernatremia on the 30-day mortality of patients undergoing elective craniotomy. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING The Department of Neurosurgery of a high-volume center. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing elective craniotomy except those with pituitary tumors, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS Perioperative laboratory data were collected for all study participants, including sodium levels, neutrophil count, serum albumin, lymphocyte count, and blood glucose. These measurements were obtained as part of routine clinical care and provided valuable information for data analysis. MAIN RESULTS Of the 10,223 identified elective craniotomy patients who met our inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14.9% (1519) developed postoperative hypernatremia. This population's overall postoperative 30-day mortality rate was 1.7% (175). After performing an adjusted logistic regression analysis, we found that the odds of 30-day mortality increased gradually with increasing severity of hypernatremia: 2.9 deaths (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 2.46-5.85) in patients with mild hypernatremia, 13.9 deaths (OR, 17.73; 95% CI, 11.17-28.12) in those with moderate hypernatremia, and 38.3 deaths (OR, 67.00; 95% CI, 40.44-111.00) in those with severe hypernatremia. CONCLUSIONS Hypernatremia is common after elective craniotomy, and its presence is associated with increased mortality and complications, particularly in cases of severe hypernatremia. These results emphasize the significance of risk evaluation in neurosurgical patients and propose the advantages of closely monitoring serum sodium levels in high-risk individuals. Future randomized controlled trials could provide more insight into the effect of treating postoperative hypernatremia in these patients.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e21792. [PMID: 38027977 PMCID: PMC10663868 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives The mortality rate for people with brain injuries is increased when hypernatremia is present. Patients with severe hypernatremia, who have a significant short-term mortality rate, were shown to benefit from continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), which has been indicated to be successful. Exploring the risk factors for short-term mortality in brain injury patients who underwent CVVH and had severe hypernatremia was the aim of the current study. Materials and methods Retrospective screening was performed on patients with brain injuries who underwent CVVH at Xijing Hospital between 1 December 2010 and 31 December 2021 and who have a diagnosis of severe hypernatremia. The outcomes included 28-day patient mortality and hospital stay duration. The patient survival rate was examined using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. To determine the risk factors for short-term death for patients, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis models were used. Results Our current study included a total of 83 individuals. The included patients had a median age of 49 (IQR 35-59) years. Of the included patients, 58 patients (69.9 %) died within 28 days. The median length of hospital stay for the patient was 13 (IQR 7-21) days. The APACHE II score, SOFA score, GCS, PLT count, INR, stroke, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor reliance were related to 28-day mortality according to the univariate Cox analysis. INR (HR = 1.004, 95 % Cl: 1.001-1.006, P = 0.008), stroke (HR = 1.971, 95 % Cl: 1.031-3.768, P = 0.04), mechanical ventilation (HR = 3.948, 95 % Cl: 1.090-14.294, P = 0.036), and vasopressor dependency (HR = 2.262, 95 % Cl: 1.099-4.655, P = 0.027) were independently associated with the risk of 28-day death rates, according to multivariate Cox regression analysis. Conclusions Brain injuries who have severe hypernatremia requires CVVH, which has high short-term patient mortality. Mechanical ventilation, INR increase, stroke, and vasopressor dependence are independently associated with increased patient mortality risk.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the value of hypernatremia in the intensive care unit (ICU) for the risk prediction of mortality in severe patients. Methods Clinical data of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of Beijing Friendship Hospital, were collected for retrospective analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to analyze the influencing factors. Nomograms predicting the mortality were constructed with R software and validated with repeated sampling. Results A total of 442 cases were eligible for this study. Hypernatremia within 48 hours of ICU admission, change in sodium concentration (CNa+) within 48 hours, septic shock, APACHE II score, hyperlactatemia within 48 hours, use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) within 48 hours, and the use of mechanical ventilation (MV) within 48 hours of ICU admission were all identified as independent risk factors for death within 28 days of ICU admission. These predictors were included in a nomogram of 28-day mortality in severe patients, which was constructed using R software. Conclusion The nomogram could predict the individualized risk of 28-day mortality based on the above factors. The model has better discrimination and accuracy and has high clinical application value.

Abstract
Specific antibody responses to subfornical organs, including Nax antibody, have been reported in patients with adipsic hypernatremia of unknown etiology who do not have structural lesions in the hypothalamic–pituitary gland. The subfornical organ, also referred to as the window of the brain, is a sensing site that monitors sodium and osmotic pressure levels. On the other hand, ROHHAD syndrome is a rare disease for which the etiology of the hypothalamic disorder is unknown, and there have been some reports in recent years describing its association with autoimmune mechanisms. In addition, abnormal Na levels, including hypernatremia, are likely to occur in this syndrome. When comparing the clinical features of adipsic hypernatremia due to autoimmune mechanisms and ROHHAD syndrome, there are similar hypothalamic–pituitary dysfunction symptoms in addition to abnormal Na levels. Since clinical diagnoses of autoimmunological adipsic hypernatremia and ROHAD syndrome might overlap, we need to understand the essential etiology and carry out precise assessments to accurately diagnose patients and provide effective treatment. In this review, I review the literature on the autoimmune mechanism reported in recent years and describe the findings obtained so far and future directions.

Abstract
Sodium and water perturbations, manifesting as hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia, are common in patients who had an acute stroke, and are associated with worse outcomes and increased mortality. Other non-stroke-related causes of sodium and water perturbations in these patients include underlying comorbidities and concomitant medications. Additionally, hospitalised patients who had an acute stroke may receive excessive intravenous hypotonic solutions, have poor fluid intake due to impaired neurocognition and consciousness, may develop sepsis or are administered drugs (eg, mannitol); factors that can further alter serum sodium levels. Sodium and water perturbations can also be exacerbated by the development of endocrine consequences after an acute stroke, including secondary adrenal insufficiency, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and diabetes insipidus. Recently, COVID-19 infection has been reported to increase the risk of development of sodium and water perturbations that may further worsen the outcomes of patients who had an acute stroke. Because there are currently no accepted consensus guidelines on the management of sodium and water perturbations in patients who had an acute stroke, we conducted a systematic review of the literature published in English and in peer-reviewed journals between January 2000 and December 2020, according to PRISMA guidelines, to assess on the current knowledge and clinical practices of this condition. In this review, we discuss the signs and symptoms of hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia, the pathogenesis of hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia, their clinical relevance, and we provide our recommendations for effective treatment strategies for the neurologist in the management of sodium and water perturbations in commonly encountered aetiologies of patients who had an acute stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the secretion patterns of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-proBNP (NT-proBNP) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to analyze the source of them in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We synchronously measured BNP and NT-proBNP concentrations in paired CSF and plasma samples from 22 moderate to severe TBI patients and 40 healthy control patients. The CSF and/or plasma ratio of albumin (QAlbumin) was calculated daily. The BNP and NT-proBNP levels of CSF and plasma were compared between TBI patients and control patients. RESULTS CSF BNP and NT-proBNP levels peaked on day 3 after injury, as did the plasma BNP and NT-proBNP levels. The CSF BNP and NT-proBNP levels in TBI patients were elevated from day 1, which was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). However, in plasma, only NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher than in the control group from day 2 (P < 0.05). In addition, QBNP, defined as CSF BNP concentration and/or plasma BNP concentration, was significantly higher in TBI patients than in the control group (P < 0.01). However, QAlbumin remained within ranges of a mild to moderate dysfunction of blood-brain-barrier in TBI patients. CONCLUSIONS CSF BNP concentrations are elevated and peak on day 3 after moderate to severe TBI. CSF BNP may originate from the brain and may be a potential biomarker of TBI.

Risk factors for renal failure and short-term prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage complicated by acute kidney injury. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:311.

Abstract
Background Although acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (SICH), little is known about the predisposing factors that contribute to renal failure and short-term prognosis in the setting of SICH already complicated by AKI. In this study, we aimed to identify the renal failure factors in SICH patents with AKI. Methods Five hundred forty-three patients with SICH complicated by differential severities of AKI who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively studied. Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to determine the best predictive and discriminative variables. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors for renal recovery. Results In the multivariable adjusted model, we found that hypernatremia, metabolic acidosis, elevated serum creatine kinase, hyperuricaemia, proteinuria, and the use of colloids and diuretics were all independent risk factors for the occurrence of stage 3 AKI in SICH patients. The area under the curve analysis indicated that hypernatremia and hyperuricaemia were predictive factors for stage 3 AKI, and the combination of these two parameters increased their predictability for stage 3 AKI. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that the renal recovery rate in SICH patients with stages 1 and 2 AKI was significantly higher than that in SICH patients with stage 3 AKI. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that hypernatremia and the occurrence of stage 3 AKI are predictors for poor short-term renal recovery. Conclusions These findings illustrate that hypernatremia and hyperuricaemia represent potential risk factors for the occurrence of stage 3 AKI in SICH patients. Those patients with hypernatremia and stage 3 AKI were associated with a poor short-term prognosis in renal recovery.

Osmotherapy for malignant cerebral edema in a phase 2 prospective, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of IV glibenclamide. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2020; 29:104916. [PMID: 32414580 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2020.104916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Revised: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Malignant edema can be a life-threatening complication of large hemispheric infarction (LHI), and is often treated with osmotherapy. In this exploratory analysis of data from the GAMES-RP study, we hypothesized that patients receiving osmotherapy had symptomatic cerebral edema, and that treatment with intravenous (IV) glibenclamide would modify osmotherapy use as compared with placebo. METHODS GAMES-RP was a phase 2 multi-center prospective, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in LHI. Patients were randomized to IV glibenclamide (e.g. IV glyburide) or placebo. Cerebral edema therapies included osmotherapy and/or decompressive craniectomy at the discretion of the treating team. Total bolus osmotherapy dosing was quantified by "osmolar load". Radiographic edema was defined by dichotomizing midline shift at 24 h. Clinical changes were defined as any increase in NIHSS1a. RESULTS Osmotherapy was administered to 40 of the 77 patients at a median of 39 [27-55] h after stroke onset. The median baseline DWI lesion volume was significantly larger in the osmotherapy treated group (167 [146-211] mL v. 139 [112-170] mL; P=0.046). Adjudicated malignant edema (75% v. 16%; P<0.001) was more common in the osmotherapy treated group. There were no differences in the proportion of patients receiving osmotherapy or the median total osmolar load between treatment arms. Most patients (76%) had a decrease in consciousness (NIHSS item 1A ≥1) on the day they began receiving osmotherapy. CONCLUSIONS In the GAMES-RP trial, osmolar therapies were most often administered in response to clinical symptoms of decreased consciousness. However, the optimal timing of administration and impact on outcome after LHI have yet to be defined.

Abstract
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that large-volume infusions of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) for resuscitation are associated with hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, renal vasoconstriction, and increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Patients with neurological injury may require hypertonic NaCl for therapeutic hypernatremia, treatment of cerebral salt wasting, hyponatremia, or elevated intracranial pressure. Consequently, this increased exposure to chloride may result in an increased risk for development of AKI. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to describe the risk for development of AKI in neurologically injured patients receiving large volumes of intravenous hypertonic NaCl. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study looked at neurologically injured patients who received hypertonic NaCl and sodium acetate. Data were collected to assess renal function, hyperchloremia, and acidemia. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the predictive association between the amount of daily and overall chloride exposure and development of AKI. Results: A total of 301 patients were screened, and of those, 142 were included. Of the 142 patients included, 13% developed AKI, and 38% developed hyperchloremia. Additionally, 32% of patients were switched from NaCl to sodium acetate after an average of 3.4 ± 1.5 days of NaCl therapy. The ROC curve demonstrated that if patients received greater than 2055 mEq of chloride over 7 days, they were more likely to develop AKI (sensitivity 72%, specificity 70%; P = 0.002; area under the curve = 0.7). Conclusion and Relevance: Neurologically injured patients receiving hypertonic sodium therapy with a high chloride load are at risk of developing hyperchloremia and AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the management of cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and cerebral herniation syndromes in neurocritical care. RECENT FINDINGS While corticosteroids may be effective in reducing vasogenic edema around brain tumors, they are contraindicated in traumatic cerebral edema. Mannitol and hypertonic saline use should be tailored to patient characteristics including intravascular volume status. In patients with traumatic brain injury who are comatose, elevated ICP should be managed with an algorithmic, multitiered treatment protocol to maintain an ICP of 22 mm Hg or less. Third-line ICP treatments include anesthetic agents, induced hypothermia, and decompressive craniectomy. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that induced hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy are ineffective as early neuroprotective strategies and should be reserved for third-line management of refractory ICP elevation in severe traumatic brain injury. Monitoring for cerebral herniation should include bedside pupillometry in supratentorial space-occupying lesions and recognition of upward herniation in patients with posterior fossa lesions. SUMMARY Although elevated ICP, cerebral edema, and cerebral herniation are interrelated, treatments should be based on the distinct pathophysiologic process. Focal lesions resulting in brain compression are primarily managed with surgical decompression, whereas global or multifocal brain injury requires a treatment protocol that includes medical and surgical interventions.

Abstract
Transition of care from the intensive care unit to acute care units after critical neurologic injury includes the consideration of a variety of factors to ensure safe and effective care, and promote ongoing neurologic recovery. Assessment of effectiveness of deescalation techniques, agitation management, and risk factor mitigation are important strategies to enhance the success of transitions. Clear and consistent interdisciplinary communication between teams during hand-off between units is imperative to decrease the risk of complications and errors, and to streamline discharge processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients with any severity of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (tICH) are often admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) for early detection of secondary injury. We hypothesize that there is a subset of these patients with mild injury and tICH for whom ICU care is unnecessary. OBJECTIVES To quantify tICH frequency and describe disposition and to identify patients at low risk of inpatient critical care intervention (CCI). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients aged 0 to 17 years with tICH at a single level I trauma center from 2008 to 2013. The CCI included mechanical ventilation, invasive monitoring, blood product transfusion, hyperosmolar therapy, and neurosurgery. Binary recursive partitioning analysis led to a clinical decision instrument classifying patients as low risk for CCI. RESULTS Of 296 tICH admissions without prior CCI in the field or emergency department, 29 had an inpatient CCI. The decision instrument classified patients as low risk for CCI when patients had absence of the following: midline shift, depressed skull fracture, unwitnessed/unknown mechanism, and other nonextremity injuries. This clinical decision instrument produced a high likelihood of excluding patients with CCI (sensitivity, 96.6%; 95% confidence interval, 82.2%-99.9%) from the low-risk group, with a negative likelihood ratio of 0.056 (95% confidence interval, -0.053-0.166). The decision instrument misclassified 1 patient with CCI into the low-risk group, but would have impacted disposition of 164 pediatric ICU admissions through 5 years (55% of the sample). CONCLUSIONS A subset of low-risk patients may not require ICU admission. The proposed decision rule identified low-risk children with tICH who may be observable outside an ICU, although this rule requires external validation before implementation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Remarkable advances have occurred in the management of acute ischemic stroke, especially in regards to reperfusion treatments. With advances in reperfusion treatments come the risk of complications associated with these treatments. Areas covered: The article focuses on three acute complications that can occur in the setting of acute ischemic stroke: cerebral edema, hemorrhagic transformation, and orolingual angioedema following administration of alteplase, a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Predictors of the development of these complications are reviewed. The management of cerebral edema and hemorrhagic transformation is also reviewed in depth including potential new treatments targeting the blood-brain barrier. The article also reviews the management of the rare but potentially fatal complication of orolingual angioedema secondary to alteplase. Expert commentary: An understanding of the pathophysiology leading to the development of malignant cerebral edema and hemorrhagic transformation allows the clinician to anticipate and properly manage these acute complications. Regardless of a patient's age or comorbidities, the decision to pursue decompressive hemicraniectomy in patients with malignant cerebral edema should be based on an honest assessment of expected outcome and guided by the patient's prior wishes regarding an acceptable quality of life.

Abstract
We demonstrated that different degrees of experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be differentiated clearly in fresh slices of rat brain tissues using transmission-type terahertz (THz) imaging system. The high absorption region in THz images corresponded well with the injured area in visible images and magnetic resonance imaging results. The THz image and absorption characteristics of dehydrated paraffin-embedded brain slices and the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained microscopic images were investigated to account for the intrinsic differences in the THz images for the brain tissues suffered from different degrees of TBI and normal tissue aside from water. The THz absorption coefficients of rat brain tissues showed an increase in the aggravation of brain damage, particularly in the high-frequency range, whereas the cell density decreased as the order of mild, moderate, and severe TBI tissues compared with the normal tissue. Our results indicated that the different degrees of TBI were distinguishable owing to the different water contents and probable hematoma components distribution rather than intrinsic cell intensity. These promising results suggest that THz imaging has great potential as an alternative method for the fast diagnosis of TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a major cause of death after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Continuous hyperosmolar therapy (CHT) has been proposed for the treatment of ICH, but its effectiveness is controversial. We compared the mortality and outcomes in patients with TBI with ICH treated or not with CHT. METHODS We included patients with TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12 and trauma-associated lesion on brain computed tomography (CT) scan) from the databases of the prospective multicentre trials Corti-TC, BI-VILI and ATLANREA. CHT consisted of an intravenous infusion of NaCl 20% for 24 hours or more. The primary outcome was the risk of survival at day 90, adjusted for predefined covariates and baseline differences, allowing us to reduce the bias resulting from confounding factors in observational studies. A systematic review was conducted including studies published from 1966 to December 2016. RESULTS Among the 1086 included patients, 545 (51.7%) developed ICH (143 treated and 402 not treated with CHT). In patients with ICH, the relative risk of survival at day 90 with CHT was 1.43 (95% CI, 0.99-2.06, p = 0.05). The adjusted hazard ratio for survival was 1.74 (95% CI, 1.36-2.23, p < 0.001) in propensity-score-adjusted analysis. At day 90, favourable outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scale 4-5) occurred in 45.2% of treated patients with ICH and in 35.8% of patients with ICH not treated with CHT (p = 0.06). A review of the literature including 1304 patients from eight studies suggests that CHT is associated with a reduction of in-ICU mortality (intervention, 112/474 deaths (23.6%) vs. control, 244/781 deaths (31.2%); OR 1.42 (95% CI, 1.04-1.95), p = 0.03, I 2 = 15%). CONCLUSIONS CHT for the treatment of posttraumatic ICH was associated with improved adjusted 90-day survival. This result was strengthened by a review of the literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypernatraemia is one of the major electrolyte disorders associated with mortality among critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). It is unclear whether this applies to patients with cerebrovascular diseases in whom high sodium concentrations may be allowed in order to prevent cerebral oedema. This study aimed to examine the association between ICU-acquired hypernatraemia and the prognosis of patients with cerebrovascular diseases. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING The incidence of ICU-acquired hypernatraemia was assessed retrospectively in a single tertiary care facility in Japan. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients (≥18 years old) whose length of stay in ICU was >2 days and those whose serum sodium concentrations were 130-149 mEq/L on admission to ICU were included. OUTCOME MEASURES 28-day in-hospital mortality risk was assessed by Cox regression analysis. Hypernatraemia was defined as serum sodium concentration ≥150 mEq/L. Using multivariate analysis, we examined whether ICU-acquired hypernatraemia and the main symptom present at ICU admission were associated with time to death among ICU patients. We also evaluated how the maximum and minimum sodium concentrations during ICU stay were associated with mortality, using restricted cubic splines. RESULTS Of 1756 patients, 121 developed ICU-acquired hypernatraemia. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed an association between ICU-acquired hypernatraemia and 28-day mortality (adjusted HR, 3.07 (95% CI 2.12 to 4.44)). The interaction between ICU-acquired hypernatraemia and cerebrovascular disease was significantly associated with 28-day mortality (HR, 3.03 (95% CI 1.29 to 7.15)). The restricted cubic splines analysis of maximum serum sodium concentration in ICU patients determined a threshold maximum of 147 mEq/L. There was no significant association between minimum sodium concentration and mortality. CONCLUSIONS ICU-acquired hypernatraemia was associated with an increased mortality rate among critically ill patients with cerebrovascular diseases; the threshold maximum serum sodium concentration associated with mortality was 147 mEq/L.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Ischemic stroke accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes. Although severe strokes constitute a minority of cases, they are associated with a majority of the subsequent disability and death. Reperfusion therapy with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and/or endovascular thrombectomy is a mainstay of acute stroke management. Intensive care management of stroke is focused on reducing complications of reperfusion, such as hemorrhagic transformation, and minimizing secondary brain injury, including brain edema and progressive stroke. Additionally, severe stroke patients frequently need ventilatory or hemodynamic support provided in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Here, we discuss the current medical and surgical ICU management aspects of acute ischemic stroke and identify areas where ongoing studies may reveal new treatments to improve neurological recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating disorder with no current treatment. Whether perihematomal edema is an independent predictor of neurologic outcome is controversial. We sought to determine whether perihematomal edema expansion rate predicts outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary medical center. PATIENTS One hundred thirty-nine consecutive supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients 18 years or older admitted between 2000 and 2013. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and perihematomal edema volumes were measured from CT scans obtained at presentation, 24-hours, and 72-hours postintracerebral hemorrhage. Perihematomal edema expansion rate was the difference between initial and follow-up perihematomal edema volumes divided by the time interval. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between 1) perihematomal edema expansion rate at 24 hours and 90-day mortality and 2) perihematomal edema expansion rate at 24 hours and 90-day modified Rankin Scale score. Perihematomal edema expansion rate between admission and 24-hours postintracerebral hemorrhage was a significant predictor of 90-day mortality (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.48-5.99; p = 0.002). This association persisted after adjusting for all components of the intracerebral hemorrhage score (odds ratio, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.05-4.64; p = 0.04). Similarly, higher 24-hour perihematomal edema expansion rate was associated with poorer modified Rankin Scale score in an ordinal shift analysis (odds ratio, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.37-4.21; p = 0.002). The association persisted after adjustment for all intracerebral hemorrhage score components (odds ratio, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.12-3.83; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Faster perihematomal edema expansion rate 24-hours postintracerebral hemorrhage is associated with worse outcome. Perihematomal edema may represent an attractive translational target for secondary injury after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides an overview of large territory hemispheric infarction, with an emphasis on recent developments and practical issues related to its evaluation, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Swelling after large infarction results in severe morbidity and often death. Early vigilance for the development of swelling is critical to optimize patient outcome. Comprehensive management is highly dependent on a strong multidisciplinary, collaborative approach. RECENT FINDINGS Several advances in the last decade have led to an increasingly standardized approach to the patient with significant brain swelling after stroke. In particular, early identification of patients with large stroke at high risk for deterioration, and decompressive craniectomy as an important treatment option, are two significant advances. SUMMARY Effective management of hemispheric ischemic stroke and swelling requires a team skilled in the neurologic examination of critically ill patients and a broad understanding of the natural history of brain swelling after stroke.

Abstract
Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) is an important pathophysiological marker of secondary injury in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). In this Review, we describe a novel method to conceptualize PHO formation within the framework of Starling's principle of movement of fluid across a capillary wall. We consider progression of PHO through three stages, characterized by ionic oedema (stage 1) and progressive vasogenic oedema (stages 2 and 3). In this context, possible modifiers of PHO volume and their value in identifying patients who would benefit from therapies that target secondary injury are discussed; the practicalities of using neuroimaging to measure PHO volume are also considered. We examine whether PHO can be used as a predictor of neurological outcome following ICH, and we provide an overview of emerging therapies. Our discussion emphasizes that PHO has clinical relevance both as a therapeutic target, owing to its augmentation of the mass effect of a haemorrhage, and as a surrogate marker for novel interventions that target secondary injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysnatremia, which is associated with increased mortality in general intensive care units (ICU), has not been thoroughly studied in neurologic ICU (NICU). METHODS Prevalence of dysnatremia was retrospectively assessed. The multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to determine the influence of dysnatremia on mortality. RESULTS Of 519 patients, 106 (20.4%) were admitted with hyponatremia and 177 (34.10%) with hypernatremia. Hypernatremia was detected in 69 (13.29%) patients on admission to NICU and in 108 patients (20.81%) during the ICU stay. However, the incidence of dysnatremia did not differ across the neurological categories (p = 0.4690). ICU stay in patients with acquired hypernatremia (22.3 ± 25.35 days) was longer than those with admission hypernatremia (13.5 ± 12.8 days) or with consistent normonatremia (16.16 ± 20.06 days). The other indicators such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, Glasgow Coma Scale score, urinary catheterization, and incidence of pneumonia were also associated with the serum sodium concentrations. Hypernatremia both on admission and acquired in NICU could significantly differentiate between survivors and nonsurvivors (p = 0.002 and <0.0001). However, only NICU-acquired hypernatremia was the independent risk factor for mortality with high sensitivity (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS Dysnatremia is more common in NICU, whereas only acquired-hypernatremia was independently associated with outcome.
