Long-Term Follow-up in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Treated With or Without Surgical Intervention: a Large-Scale Retrospective Study

Impact of Endoscopic Surgery Versus Robot CAS-R-2 Assisted with Stereotactic Drainage on Prognosis of Basal Ganglia Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of endoscopic surgery (ES) versus robot CAS-R-2 assisted with stereotactic drainage on prognosis of basal ganglia hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).

METHODS

This retrospective observational study included patients who underwent ES or robot CAS-R-2 assisted with stereotactic drainage for basal ganglia HICH in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital between June 2017 and May 2022. The outcomes were 6-month mortality and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.

RESULTS

A total of 94 patients were included; 68 (age 51.26 ± 9.18 years, 17 women) of them underwent ES, while the other 26 (age 56.50 ± 12.91, 11 women) underwent robot CAS-R-2. The 6-month mortality rates were similar (P > 0.05) between the patients who underwent ES (6 of 68, 8.82%) and robot CAS-R-2 (2 of 26,7.69%), while the rate of good prognosis in the ES group was significantly higher compared with that in the robot CAS-R-2 group (P = 0.024). Univariate logistic analysis found that endoscopic surgery, age, and hematoma volume were associated with poor prognosis at 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusted for the preoperative hematoma volume and age, endoscopy surgery (relative risk 0.21, 95% CI 0.06-0.68, P = 0.009) was associated with good prognosis at 6 months follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with robot CAS-R-2 assisted with stereotactic drainage, ES might have higher rate of good prognosis at 6-month follow-up for basal ganglia HICH.
