Anesthesiology Performance Improvement and Reporting Exchange (ASPIRE) Quality Metrics in Patients Undergoing Decompressive Craniectomy and Endoscopic Clot Evacuation after Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Observational Study. J Neurosurg Anesthesiol 2024; 36:266-271. [PMID: 36941123 PMCID: PMC10511654 DOI: 10.1097/ana.0000000000000912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We report adherence to 6 Anesthesiology Performance Improvement and Reporting Exchange (ASPIRE) quality metrics (QMs) relevant to patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy or endoscopic clot evacuation after spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we describe adherence to the following ASPIRE QMs: acute kidney injury (AKI-01); mean arterial pressure < 65 mm Hg for less than 15 minutes (BP-03); myocardial injury (CARD-02); treatment of high glucose (> 200 mg/dL, GLU-03); reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB-02); and perioperative hypothermia (TEMP-03). RESULT The study included 95 patients (70% male) with median (interquartile range) age 55 (47 to 66) years and ICH score 2 (1 to 3) undergoing craniectomy (n=55) or endoscopic clot evacuation (n=40) after sICH. In-hospital mortality attributable to sICH was 23% (n=22). Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class 5 (n=16), preoperative reduced glomerular filtration rate (n=5), elevated cardiac troponin (n=21) and no intraoperative labs with high glucose (n=71), those who were not extubated at the end of the case (n=62) or did not receive a neuromuscular blocker given (n=3), and patients having emergent surgery (n=64) were excluded from the analysis for their respective ASPIRE QM based on predetermined ASPIRE exclusion criteria. For the remaining patients, the adherence to ASPIRE QMs were: AKI-01, craniectomy 34%, endoscopic clot evacuation 1%; BP-03, craniectomy 72%, clot evacuation 73%; CARD-02, 100% for both groups; GLU-03, craniectomy 67%, clot evacuation 100%; NMB-02, clot evacuation 79%, and; TEMP-03, clot evacuation 0% with hypothermia. CONCLUSION This study found variable adherence to ASPIRE QMs in sICH patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy or endoscopic clot evacuation. The relatively high number of patients excluded from individual ASPIRE metrics is a major limitation.

Hypothermia protects the integrity of corticospinal tracts and alleviates mitochondria injury after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice. Exp Neurol 2024; 377:114803. [PMID: 38679281 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2024.114803] [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: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Disruption of corticospinal tracts (CST) is a leading factor for motor impairments following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the striatum. Previous studies have shown that therapeutic hypothermia (HT) improves outcomes of ICH patients. However, whether HT has a direct protection effect on the CST integrity and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we employed a chemogenetics approach to selectively activate bilateral warm-sensitive neurons in the preoptic areas to induce a hypothermia-like state. We then assessed effects of HT treatment on the integrity of CST and motor functional recovery after ICH. Our results showed that HT treatment significantly alleviated axonal degeneration around the hematoma and the CST axons at remote midbrain region, ultimately promoted skilled motor function recovery. Anterograde and retrograde tracing revealed that HT treatment protected the integrity of the CST over an extended period. Mechanistically, HT treatment prevented mitochondrial swelling in degenerated axons around the hematoma, alleviated mitochondrial impairment by reducing mitochondrial ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial membrane potential in primarily cultured cortical neurons with oxyhemoglobin treatment. Serving as a proof of principle, our study provided novel insights into the application of HT to improve functional recovery after ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent years have seen considerable changes in the prevention and treatment of acute ischaemic stroke in adult patients. However, the low incidence of paediatric stroke makes the development of specific guidelines more challenging. This study aims to clarify the situation of these children in our region in order to establish a regional protocol to improve the care provided to these patients. METHODS We performed a regional incidence study of pediatric stroke (≤ 15 years of age) in Aragon, Spain (1308728 population, 15% aged ≤ 15 years) between 2008 and 2019. Data were obtained from hospital discharge records, including deaths, from the regional health service of Aragón, according to ICD codes for cerebrovascular disease. We analysed demographic, clinical, diagnostic/therapeutic, and prognostic variables. RESULTS A total of 21 events were recorded: 8 ischaemic (38.1%) and 13 haemorrhagic strokes (61.9%). The mean age (SD) was 9.3 years (1.0). The sample included 12 boys and nine girls. No statistically significant differences were found between ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes, except in the chief complaint (language and motor impairment in ischaemic stroke and headache in haemorrhagic stroke). None of the patients with ischaemic stroke received reperfusion therapies. Including the 3 patients who died during hospitalisation, eight patients (42.1%) had modified Rankin Scale scores > 2 at 12 months. Motor deficits were the most common sequela (n=9). CONCLUSION Though infrequent, paediatric stroke has an important functional impact. In Spain, Madrid was the first region to adapt the existing code stroke care networks for adult patients. In Aragon, this review has enabled us to work closely with the different stakeholders to offer a care plan for acute paediatric ischaemic stroke. Nevertheless, prospective national registries would be valuable to continue improving the care provided to these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it has been established that elevated blood pressure and its variability worsen outcomes in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, antihypertensives use during the acute phase still lacks robust evidence. A blood pressure-lowering regimen using remifentanil and dexmedetomidine might be a reasonable therapeutic option given their analgesic and antisympathetic effects. The objective of this superiority trial was to validate the efficacy and safety of this blood pressure-lowering strategy that uses remifentanil and dexmedetomidine in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS In this multicenter, prospective, single-blinded, superiority randomized controlled trial, patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and systolic blood pressure (SBP) 150 mmHg or greater were randomly allocated to the intervention group (a preset protocol with a standard guideline management using remifentanil and dexmedetomidine) or the control group (standard guideline-based management) to receive blood pressure-lowering treatment. The primary outcome was the SBP control rate (less than 140 mmHg) at 1 h posttreatment initiation. Secondary outcomes included blood pressure variability, neurologic function, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS A total of 338 patients were allocated to the intervention (n = 167) or control group (n = 171). The SBP control rate at 1 h posttreatment initiation in the intervention group was higher than that in controls (101 of 161, 62.7% vs. 66 of 166, 39.8%; difference, 23.2%; 95% CI, 12.4 to 34.1%; P < 0.001). Analysis of secondary outcomes indicated that patients in the intervention group could effectively reduce agitation while achieving lighter sedation, but no improvement in clinical outcomes was observed. Regarding safety, the incidence of bradycardia and respiratory depression was higher in the intervention group. CONCLUSIONS Among intracerebral hemorrhage patients with a SBP 150 mmHg or greater, a preset protocol using a remifentanil and dexmedetomidine-based standard guideline management significantly increased the SBP control rate at 1 h posttreatment compared with the standard guideline-based management.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced intracerebral hematoma is a major driver of secondary injury pathology such as neuroinflammation, cerebral edema, neurotoxicity and blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, which contribute to neuronal loss, motor deficits and cognitive impairment. Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) is an anti-phagocytic cell surface protein inhibiting hematoma clearance. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of blockade of CD47 via intravenous administration of anti-CD47 antibodies in the presence of traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (tICH). The PK profile of anti-CD47 antibody elicited that antibody concentration decayed over 7 days post-administration. Blood tests and necropsy analysis indicated no severe adverse events following treatment. Cerebral hemoglobin levels were significantly increased after injury, however, anti-CD47 antibody administration at 0.1 mg/kg resulted in a significant reduction in cerebral hemoglobin levels at 72 hours post-administration, indicating augmentation of hematoma clearance. Immunohistochemistry assessment of GFAP and IBA1 demonstrated a significant reduction of GFAP levels in the lesion core and peri-lesional area. Based on these analyses, the optimal dose was identified as 0.1 mg/kg. Lesion volume showed a reduction following treatment. Rotarod testing revealed significant motor deficits in all injured groups but no significant therapeutic benefits. Spatial learning performance revealed significant deficits in all injured groups which was significantly improved by the last testing day. Anti-CD47 antibody treated rats showed significantly improved attention deficits, but not retention scores. These results provide preliminary evidence that blockade of CD47 using intravenous administration of anit-CD47 antibodies may serve as a potential therapeutic for TBI with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Minimally invasive surgeries for spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (MISICH): a multicenter randomized controlled trial. BMC Med 2024; 22:244. [PMID: 38867192 PMCID: PMC11170771 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03468-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common stroke type with high morbidity and mortality. There are mainly three surgical methods for treating ICH. Unfortunately, thus far, no specific surgical method has been proven to be the most effective. We carried out this study to investigate whether minimally invasive surgeries with endoscopic surgery or stereotactic aspiration (frameless navigated aspiration) will improve functional outcomes in patients with supratentorial ICH compared with small-bone flap craniotomy. METHODS In this parallel-group multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted at 16 centers, patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH were randomized to receive endoscopic surgery, stereotactic aspiration, or craniotomy at a 1:1:1 ratio from July 2016 to June 2022. The follow-up duration was 6 months. Patients were randomized to receive endoscopic evacuation, stereotactic aspiration, or small-bone flap craniotomy. The primary outcome was favorable functional outcome, defined as the proportion of patients who achieved a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at the 6-month follow-up. RESULTS A total of 733 patients were randomly allocated to three groups: 243 to the endoscopy group, 247 to the aspiration group, and 243 to the craniotomy group. Finally, 721 patients (239 in the endoscopy group, 246 in the aspiration group, and 236 in the craniotomy group) received treatment and were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Primary efficacy analysis revealed that 73 of 219 (33.3%) in the endoscopy group, 72 of 220 (32.7%) in the aspiration group, and 47 of 212 (22.2%) in the craniotomy group achieved favorable functional outcome at the 6-month follow-up (P = .017). We got similar results in subgroup analysis of deep hemorrhages, while in lobar hemorrhages the prognostic outcome was similar among three groups. Old age, deep hematoma location, large hematoma volume, low preoperative GCS score, craniotomy, and intracranial infection were associated with greater odds of unfavorable outcomes. The mean hospitalization expenses were ¥92,420 in the endoscopy group, ¥77,351 in the aspiration group, and ¥100,947 in the craniotomy group (P = .000). CONCLUSIONS Compared with small bone flap craniotomy, endoscopic surgery and stereotactic aspiration improved the long-term outcome of hypertensive ICH, especially deep hemorrhages.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage - patients retrospectively consent to fibrinolytic surgery despite poor neurological outcome and reduced health-related quality of life. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:268. [PMID: 38862774 PMCID: PMC11166777 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02479-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) might lead to devastating consequences. Nonetheless, subjective interpretation of life circumstances might vary. Recent data from ischemic stroke patients show that there might be a paradox between clinically rated neurological outcome and self-reported satisfaction with quality of life. Our hypothesis was that minimally invasive surgically treated ICH patients would still give their consent to stereotactic fibrinolysis despite experiencing relatively poor neurological outcome. In order to better understand the patients' perspective and to enhance insight beyond functional outcome, this is the first study assessing disease-specific health-related quality of life (hrQoL) in ICH after fibrinolytic therapy. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with spontaneous ICH treated minimally invasive by stereotactic fibrinolysis. Subsequently, using standardized telephone interviews, we evaluated functional outcome with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), health-related Quality of Life with the Quality of life after Brain Injury Overall scale (QOLIBRI-OS), and assessed retrospectively if the patients would have given their consent to the treatment. To verify the primary hypothesis that fibrinolytic treated ICH patients would still retrospectively consent to fibrinolytic therapy despite a relatively poor neurological outcome, we conducted a chi-square test to compare good versus poor outcome (mRS) between consenters and non-consenters. To investigate the association between hrQoL (QOLIBRI-OS) and consent, we conducted a Mann-Whitney U-test. Moreover, we did a Spearman correlation to investigate the correlation between functional outcome (mRS) and hrQoL (QOLIBRI-OS). The analysis comprised 63 data sets (35 men, mean age: 66.9 ± 11.8 years, median Hemphill score: 3 [2-3]). Good neurological outcome (mRS 0-3) was achieved in 52% (33/63) of the patients. Patients would have given their consent to surgery retrospectively in 89.7% (52/58). These 52 consenting patients comprised all 33 patients (100%) who achieved good functional outcome and 19 of the 25 patients (76%) who achieved poor neurological outcome (mRS 4-6). The mean QOLIBRI-OS value was 49.55 ± 27.75. A significant association between hrQoL and retrospective consent was found (p = 0.004). This study supports fibrinolytic treatment of ICH even in cases when poor neurological outcome would have to be assumed since subjective perception of deficits could be in contrast with the objectively measured neurological outcome. HrQoL serves as a criterion for success of rtPa lysis therapy in ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased oxidative stress (OS) activity following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) had significantly impacting patient prognosis. Identifying optimal genes associated with OS could enhance the understanding of OS after ICH. METHODS We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the heterogeneity of OS across various cellular tiers following ICH, aiming to acquire biological insights into ICH. We utilized AUCell, Ucell, singscore, ssgsea, and AddModuleScore algorithms, along with correlation analysis, to identify hub genes influencing high OS post-ICH. Furthermore, we employed four machine learning algorithms, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Boruta, Random Forest, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator, to identify the optimal feature genes. To validate the accuracy of our analysis, we conducted validation in ICH animal experiments. RESULTS After analyzing the scRNA-seq dataset using various algorithms, we found that OS activity exhibited heterogeneity across different cellular layers following ICH, with particularly heightened activity observed in monocytes. Further integration of bulk data and machine learning algorithms revealed that ANXA2 and COTL1 were closely associated with high OS after ICH. Our animal experiments demonstrated an increase in OS expression post-ICH. Additionally, the protein expression of ANXA2 and COTL1 was significantly elevated and co-localized with microglia. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis revealed a significant correlation between ANXA2 and OS, indicating strong consistency (r = 0.84, p < 0.05). Similar results were observed for COTL1 and OS (r = 0.69, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Following ICH, ANXA2 and COTL1 might penetrate the brain via monocytes, localize within microglia, and enhance OS activity. This might help us better understand OS after ICH.

Application of Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) for spontaneous intracerebral hematoma aspiration and thrombolytic catheter placement. J Formos Med Assoc 2024:S0929-6646(24)00254-7. [PMID: 38866694 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2024.05.018] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for up to 20% of all strokes and results in 40% mortality at 30 days. Although conservative medical management is still the standard treatment for ICH patients with small hematoma, patients with residual hematoma ≤15 mL after surgery are associated with better functional outcomes and survival rates. This study reported our clinical experience with using Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) as a safe and effective approach for stereotactic ICH aspiration and intra-clot catheter placement. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent ROSA-guided ICH aspiration surgery. ROSA-guided ICH surgical techniques, an aspiration and intra-clot catheter placement protocol, and a specific operative workflow (pre-operative protocol, intraoperative procedure and postoperative management) were employed to aspirate ICH using the ROSA One Brain, and appropriate follow-up care was provided. RESULTS From September 14, 2021 to May 4, 2022, a total of 7 patients were included in the study. Based on our workflow design, ROSA-guided stereotactic ICH aspiration effectively aspirated more than 50% of hematoma volume (or more than 30 mL for massive hematomas), thereby reducing the residual hematoma to less than 15 mL. The mean operative time of entire surgical procedure was 1.3 ± 0.3 h, with very little perioperative blood loss and no perioperative complications. No patients required catheter replacement and all patients' functional status improved. CONCLUSIONS Within our clinical practice ROSA-guided ICH aspiration, using our established protocol and workflow, was safe and effective for reducing hematoma volume, with positive functional outcomes.

Early postoperative acetylsalicylic acid administration does not increase the risk of postoperative intracranial bleeding in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:258. [PMID: 38839660 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02481-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Administration of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at early stage after surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) may increase the risk of postoperative intracranial bleeding (PIB), because of potential inhibition of platelet function. This study aimed to investigate whether early ASA administration after surgery was related to increased risk of PIB. This retrospective study enrolled SICH patients receiving surgery from September 2019 to December 2022 in seven medical institution. Based on postoperative ASA administration, patients who continuously received ASA more than three days within seven days post-surgery were identified as ASA users, otherwise as non-ASA users. The primary outcome was symptomatic PIB events within seven days after surgery. Incidence of PIB was compared between ASA users and non-ASA users using survival analysis. This study included 744 appropriate patients from 794 SICH patients. PIB occurred in 42 patients. Survival analysis showed no statistical difference between ASA users and non-ASA users in incidence of PIB (P = 0.900). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated current smoker (hazard ratio [HR], 2.50, 95%CI, 1.33-4.71, P = 0.005), dyslipidemia (HR = 3.03; 95%CI, 1.31-6.99; P = 0.010) and pre-hemorrhagic antiplatelet therapy (HR = 3.05; 95% CI, 1.64-5.68; P < 0.001) were associated with PIB. Subgroup analysis manifested no significant difference in incidence of PIB between ASA users and non-ASA users after controlling the effect from factors of PIB (i.e., sex, age, current smoker, regular drinker, dyslipidemia, pre-hemorrhagic antiplatelet therapy and hematoma location). This study revealed that early ASA administration to SICH patients after surgery was not related to increased risk of PIB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article synthesizes the current literature on prognostication in neurocritical care, identifies existing challenges, and proposes future research directions to reduce variability and enhance scientific and patient-centered approaches to neuroprognostication. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS Patients with severe acute brain injury often lack the capacity to make their own medical decisions, leaving surrogate decision makers responsible for life-or-death choices. These decisions heavily rely on clinicians' prognostication, which is still considered an art because of the previous lack of specific guidelines. Consequently, there is significant variability in neuroprognostication practices. This article examines various aspects of neuroprognostication. It explores the cognitive approach to prognostication, highlights the use of statistical modeling such as Bayesian models and machine learning, emphasizes the importance of clinician-family communication during prognostic disclosures, and proposes shared decision making for more patient-centered care. ESSENTIAL POINTS This article identifies ongoing challenges in the field and emphasizes the need for future research to ameliorate variability in neuroprognostication. By focusing on scientific methodologies and patient-centered approaches, this research aims to provide guidance and tools that may enhance neuroprognostication in neurocritical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of antithrombotic therapy on patients with atrial fibrillation who sustained previous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains uncertain. Data regarding antithrombotic therapy use in these patients are limited. This study aims to compare the clinical and overall outcomes of antithrombotic therapy and usual care in patients with atrial fibrillation who sustained ICH. METHODS We assembled consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation sustaining an ICH from our institution. Multivariable regression analysis and propensity-matched analysis were applied to assess associations of different antithrombotic therapies and outcomes. The primary outcome was mortality within the longest follow-up. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests of the time-to-event data were used to assess differences in survival. RESULTS In total, 296 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation who survived an ICH were included in this study. Our analysis demonstrated that antithrombotic therapy was associated with reduced mortality up to a 4-year duration of follow-up (OR, 0.49, 95 % CI 0.30-0.81). Similar results were obtained from the propensity-matched analysis (OR, 0.58, 95 % CI 0.34-0.98). Subgroup analysis showed that compared with usual care, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) with or without antiplatelet was associated with a lower risk of long-term mortality (OR, 0.34, 95 % CI 0.17-0.69). In addition, our analysis observed a significant interaction between cardiac insufficiency and treatment effect (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In patients with atrial fibrillation who have a history of ICH, administration of antithrombotic therapy, especially DOAC, was associated with lower mortality. Future randomized trials are warranted to test the positive net clinical benefit of DOAC therapy.

Suboptimal Cerebral Perfusion is Associated with Ischemia After Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Neurocrit Care 2024; 40:996-1005. [PMID: 37957418 PMCID: PMC11089072 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01863-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) occur in one third of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and are associated with worse outcomes. The etiology is unclear and not solely due to blood pressure reduction. We hypothesized that impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation and hypoperfusion below individualized lower limits of autoregulation are associated with the presence of DWI lesions. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center study of all primary ICH with intraparenchymal pressure monitoring within 10 days from onset and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging. Pressure reactivity index was calculated as the correlation coefficient between mean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure. Optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt) is the cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) with the lowest corresponding pressure reactivity index. The difference between CPP and CPPopt, time spent below the lower limit of autoregulation (LLA), and time spent above the upper limit of autoregulation (ULA) were calculated by using mean hourly physiologic data. Univariate associations between physiologic parameters and DWI lesions were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 505 h of artifact-free data from seven patients without DWI lesions and 479 h from six patients with DWI lesions were analyzed. Patients with DWI lesions had higher intracranial pressure (17.50 vs. 10.92 mm Hg; odds ratio 1.14, confidence interval 1.01-1.29) but no difference in mean arterial pressure or CPP compared with patients without DWI lesions. The presence of DWI lesions was significantly associated with a greater percentage of time spent below the LLA (49.85% vs. 14.70%, odds ratio 5.77, confidence interval 1.88-17.75). No significant association was demonstrated between CPPopt, the difference between CPP and CPPopt, ULA, LLA, or time spent above the ULA between groups. CONCLUSIONS Blood pressure reduction below the LLA is associated with ischemia after acute ICH. Individualized, autoregulation-informed targets for blood pressure reduction may provide a novel paradigm in acute management of ICH and require further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of different indicators on stress-induced hyperglycemia for predicting in-hospital outcomes of acute intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Using data from the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance database, which is a national, multicenter, prospective, and consecutive program. Stress-induced hyperglycemia was described as glycemic gap (GG, defined as fasting blood glucose [FBG] minus estimated average blood glucose) and stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR, defined as FBG-to-estimated average blood glucose ratio [SHR 1] or FBG-to-HbA1c ratio [SHR 2]). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the second outcome was hematoma expansion. RESULTS A total of 71,333 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage were included. In multivariate analyses, the highest levels of GG (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.12-2.51), SHR 1 (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.15-2.60), and SHR 2 (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.33-3.23) were associated with in-hospital death (all the p trends <0.01). Only the highest level of SHR 2 (OR 1.24 [1.02-1.51], p trend >0.05) was related to hematoma expansion. No association between GG or SHR 1 and hematoma expansion was observed. The areas under the ROC curve of GG, SHR 1, and SHR 2 for in-hospital mortality were 0.8808 (95% CI 0.8603-0.9014), 0.8796 (95% CI 0.8589-0.9002), and 0.8806 (95% CI 0.8600-0.9012). The areas under the ROC curve of SHR 2 for hematoma expansion were 0.7133 (95% CI 0.6964-0.7302). INTERPRETATION SHR (FBG-to-HbA1c ratio) was associated with both in-hospital death and hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage, and might serve as an accessory indicator for the in-hospital prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Background: Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor use has increased over the last decade and though associated rates of major bleeding are lower compared to warfarin, outcomes from intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) are still significant. Targeted FXa inhibitor reversal agent became available in 2018, however use of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) for FXa inhibitor-associated ICH continues at many institutions. Objective: Evaluate the safety and hemostatic efficacy of 4F-PCC for FXa inhibitor-associated ICH. Methods: Single-center, retrospective study of patients who received 4F-PCC for FXa inhibitor-associated ICH. The primary efficacy endpoint was hemostasis and thrombosis was the main safety endpoint. Secondary endpoints included in-hospital mortality and discharge disposition. Results: 76 patients on apixaban or rivaroxaban were included. Good or excellent hemostasis was achieved in 80.3% of patients. Five patients experienced a thrombotic event. Favorable discharge disposition and lower in-hospital mortality was more likely in patients who achieved excellent hemostasis. Conclusion: 4F-PCC is safe and effective for FXa inhibitor associated ICH.

Neurocrit Care 2024; 40:1036-1044. [PMID: 38087174 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01869-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of non-navigated freehand minimally invasive aspiration and conservative medical care in patients with deep supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We analyzed data from a prospective multicenter cohort study. Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for possible confounding factors. A total of 122 patients with first-onset deep supratentorial ICH with a volume ≥ 20 ml were enrolled. All patients were followed up at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year. The mortality rate, functional outcomes, complications, and treatment costs were compared between the two groups. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 122 patients with a mean age of 56.0 years were included, 77.9% of whom were male. The median ICH volumes were 45.5 ml in the surgery group and 48.0 ml in the conservative group. The mortality rate at 30 days was significantly lower in the surgery group than in the conservative group (P = 0.0127). There were no significant differences in functional outcomes at the 90-day and 1-year follow-ups between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in complications, including recurrent bleeding (6.6% vs. 4.9%), pulmonary infection (57.4% vs. 41.0%), deep venous thrombosis (9.8% vs. 11.5%), heart failure (1.6% vs. 6.6%), and cerebral infarction (4.9% vs. 3.3%), between the two groups. DISCUSSION For deep supratentorial ICH, non-navigated freehand minimally invasive aspiration was safe and reduced short-term mortality but did not effectively improve long-term functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early neurological deterioration, a common complication in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, is associated with poor outcomes. Despite the fact that the prevalence and predictors of early neurological impairment are widely addressed, few studies have consolidated these findings. This study aimed to systematically investigate the prevalence and predictors of early neurological deterioration. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CIHNAL, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for relevant studies from the inception to December 2023. The data were extracted using a predefined worksheet. Quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal. The pooled effect size and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the STATA 17.0 software package. RESULTS In total, 32 studies and 5,014 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The prevalence of early neurological deterioration was 23% (95% CI 21-26%, p < 0.01). The initial NIHSS score (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.17, 1.30, p < 0.01), hematoma volume (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.06, 1.09, p < 0.01), intraventricular hemorrhage (OR = 3.50, 95% CI 1.64, 7.47, p < 0.01), intraventricular extension (OR = 3.95, 95% CI 1.96, 7.99, p < 0.01), hematoma expansion (OR = 9.77, 95% CI 4.43, 17.40, p < 0.01), and computed tomographic angiography spot sign (OR = 5.77, 95% CI 1.53, 20.23, p = 0.01) were predictors of early neurological deterioration. The funnel plot and Egger's test revealed significant publication bias (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis revealed a pooled prevalence of early neurological deterioration of 23% in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The initial NIHSS score, hematoma volume, intraventricular hemorrhage, intraventricular expansion, hematoma expansion, and spot sign enhanced the probability of early neurological deterioration. These findings provide healthcare providers with an evidence-based basis for detecting and managing early neurological deterioration in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease, causing high rates of death, disability, and suffering across the world. For decades, its treatment has been shrouded by the lack of reliable evidence, and consequently, the presumption that an effective treatment is unlikely to be found. Neutral results arising from several major randomized controlled trials had established a negative spirit within and outside the stroke community. Frustration among researchers and a sense of nihilism in clinicians has created the general perception that patients presenting with ICH have a poor prognosis irrespective of them receiving any form of active management. All this changed in 2023 with the positive results on the primary outcome in randomized controlled trials showing treatment benefits for a hyperacute care bundle approach (INTERACT3), early minimal invasive hematoma evacuation (ENRICH), and use of factor Xa-inhibitor anticoagulation reversal with andexanet alfa (ANNEXa-I). These advances have now been extended in 2024 by confirmation that intensive blood pressure lowering initiated within the first few hours of the onset of symptoms can substantially improve outcome in ICH (INTERACT4) and that decompressive hemicraniectomy is a viable treatment strategy in patients with large deep ICH (SWITCH). This evidence will spearhead a change in the perception of ICH, to revolutionize the care of these patients to ultimately improve their outcomes. We review these and other recent developments in the hyperacute management of ICH. We summarize the results of randomized controlled trials and discuss related original research papers published in this issue of the International Journal of Stroke. These exciting advances demonstrate how we are now at the dawn of a new, exciting, and brighter era of ICH management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and elevated systolic blood pressure (BP), guidelines suggest that systolic BP reduction to <140 mmHg should be rapidly initiated. Compared with conventional care, Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) allow for earlier ICH diagnosis through prehospital imaging and earlier BP lowering. PATIENTS AND METHODS ICH patients were prospectively evaluated as a cohort of the controlled B_PROUD-study in which MSU availability alone determined MSU dispatch in addition to conventional ambulance. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to adjust for confounding to estimate the effect of additional MSU dispatch in ICH patients. Outcomes of interest were 7-day mortality (primary), systolic BP (sBP) at hospital arrival, dispatch-to-imaging time, largest haematoma volume, anticoagulation reversal, length of in-hospital stay, 3-month functional outcome. RESULTS Between February 2017 and May 2019, MSUs were dispatched to 95 (mean age: 72 ± 13 years, 45% female) and only conventional ambulances to 78 ICH patients (mean age: 71 ± 12 years, 44% female). After adjusting for confounding, we found shorter dispatch-to-imaging time (mean difference: -17.75 min, 95% CI: -27.16 to -8.21 min) and lower sBP at hospital arrival (mean difference = -16.31 mmHg, 95% CI: -30.64 to -6.19 mmHg) in the MSU group. We found no statistically significant difference for the other outcomes, including 7-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio: 1.43, 95% CI: 0.68 to 3.31) or favourable outcome (adjusted odds ratio = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.27 to 1.67). CONCLUSIONS Although MSU dispatch led to sBP reduction and lower dispatch-to-imaging time compared to conventional ambulance care, we found no evidence of better outcomes in the MSU dispatch group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopy for treating hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH), compared with traditional craniotomy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 81 consecutive patients with HPH treated with neuroendoscopy (n=36) or craniotomy (n=45) in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University between January 2015 and December 2017. We compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes, excluded 14 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria. Patient characteristics in emergency room were recorded. In addition, hospitalization days, total cost during hospitalization, operative time, blood loss, evacuation rate, rebreeding, intracranial infection, pulmonary infection, epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, oculomotor paralysis, mortality, Modified Rankin Scale score 6 months after surgery, and Glasgow Outcome Scale score 6 months after surgery were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Comparative analysis of preoperative patient data revealed no notable disparities. Neuroendoscopic surgery afford distinct benefits including reduced operative time, minimal patient blood loss, and enhanced efficacy in hematoma evacuation. However, the incidence of postoperative complications such as rebleeding, intracranial infections, pulmonary infections, postoperative epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, and oculomotor paralysis did not significantly differ. In contrast, endoscopic techniques, relative to conventional craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, are characterized by less invasive incisions, a marked decrease in the duration of hospitalization, and a substantial reduction in associated healthcare costs. Furthermore, endoscopic techniques contribute to superior long-term recuperative outcomes in patients, without altering mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS In comparison to the conventional method of craniotomy, the utilization of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH) may offer a more efficacious, minimally invasive, and cost-effective approach. This alternative approach has the potential to decrease the length of hospital stays and improve long-term neurologic outcomes, without altering mortality rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic lesions on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) are common after acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) but are poorly understood for large ICH volumes (> 30 mL). We hypothesized that large blood pressure drops and effect modification by cerebral small vessel disease markers on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with DWI lesions. METHODS This was an exploratory analysis of participants in the Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation phase 3 trial with protocolized brain MRI scans within 7 days from ICH. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess biologically relevant factors associated with DWI lesions, and relationships between DWI lesions and favorable ICH outcomes (modified Rankin Scale 0-3). RESULTS Of 499 enrolled patients, 300 had MRI at median 7.5 days (interquartile range 7-8), and 178 (59%) had DWI lesions. The incidence of DWI lesions was higher in patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction ≥ 80 mm Hg in first 24 h (76%). In adjusted models, factors associated with DWI lesions were as follows: admission intraventricular hematoma volume (p = 0.03), decrease in SBP ≥ 80 mm Hg from admission to day 1 (p = 0.03), and moderate-to-severe white matter disease (p = 0.01). Patients with DWI lesions had higher odds of severe disability at 1 month (p = 0.04), 6 months (p = 0.036), and 12 months (p < 0.01). No evidence of effect modification by cerebral small vessel disease on blood pressure was found. CONCLUSIONS In patients with large hypertensive ICH, white matter disease, intraventricular hemorrhage volume, and large reductions in SBP over the first 24 h were independently associated with DWI lesions. Further investigation of potential hemodynamic mechanisms of ischemic injury after large ICH is warranted.

Tetrahydrofolate Attenuates Cognitive Impairment after Hemorrhagic Stroke by Promoting Hippocampal Neurogenesis via PTEN Signaling. eNeuro 2024; 11:ENEURO.0021-24.2024.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most common subtype of hemorrhagic stroke, leads to cognitive impairment and imposes significant psychological burdens on patients. Hippocampal neurogenesis has been shown to play an essential role in cognitive function. Our previous study has shown that tetrahydrofolate (THF) promotes the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs). However, the effect of THF on cognition after ICH and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that administration of THF could restore cognition after ICH. Using Nestin-GFP mice, we further revealed that THF enhanced the proliferation of hippocampal NSCs and neurogenesis after ICH. Mechanistically, we found that THF could prevent ICH-induced elevated level of PTEN and decreased expressions of phosphorylated AKT and mTOR. Furthermore, conditional deletion of PTEN in NSCs of the hippocampus attenuated the inhibitory effect of ICH on the proliferation of NSCs and abnormal neurogenesis. Taken together, these results provide molecular insights into ICH-induced cognitive impairment and suggest translational clinical therapeutic strategy for hemorrhagic stroke.

World Neurosurg 2024; 186:e539-e551.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify independent risk factors of 30-day mortality in patients with surgically treated spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), validate the Surgical Swedish ICH (SwICH) score within Polish healthcare system, and compare the SwICH score to the ICH score. METHODS We carried out a single-center retrospective analysis of the medical data juxtaposed with computed tomography scans of 136 ICH patients treated surgically between 2008 and 2022. Statistical analysis was performed using the same characteristics as in the SwICH score and the ICH score. Backward stepwise logistic regression with both 5-fold crossvalidation and 1000× bootstrap procedure was used to create new scoring system. Finally predictive potential of these scales were compared. RESULTS The most important predictors of 30-day mortality were: ICH volume (P < 0.01), Glasgow Coma Scale at admission (P < 0.01), anticoagulant status (P = 0.03), and age (P < 0.01). The SwICH score appears to have a better predictive potential than the ICH score, although this did not reach statistical significance [area under the curve {AUC}: 0.789 (95% confidence interval {CI}: 0.715-0.863) vs. AUC: 0.757 (95% CI: 0.677-0.837)]. Moreover, based on the analyzed characteristics, we developed our score (encompassing: age, ICH volume, anticoagulants status, Glasgow Coma Scale at admission), [AUC of 0.872 (95% CI: 0.815-0.929)]. This score was significantly better than previous ones. CONCLUSIONS Differences in health care systems seem to affect the accuracy of prognostic scales for patients with ICH, including possible differences in indications for surgery and postoperative care. Thus, it is important to validate assessment tools before they can be applied in a new setting and develop population-specific scores. This may improve the effectiveness of risk stratification in patients with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still no consensus on whether primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) should be managed conservatively or treated promptly via surgical evacuation of the hematoma. The purpose of this study was to assess the therapeutic effect of robotic frameless stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis in the treatment of PPH. METHODS A total of 39 patients with PPH treated between January 2012 and November 2016 were included in the study. Sixteen patients underwent frameless stereotactic surgical treatment (ST group) and 23 patients underwent conservative treatment (CT group). Clinical and radiologic parameters were assessed, and the patient outcomes were analyzed over a 6-month follow-up period. RESULTS Surgical treatment did not result in any intracranial infections, or complications. Baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between the two groups. At discharge, the average Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and the overall Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score were significantly higher in the ST group compared to the CT group (p < 0.05). The mortality rate (GOS score 1) was significantly lower in the ST group (18.75%, 3/16) than in the CT group (52.17%, 12/23). For patients with hematoma volumes of 5 to 10 mL or GCS scores of 6 to 8, following treatment, the ST group exhibited markedly higher GOS scores in comparison to the CT group. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that robotic frameless stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis is a safe and efficient method for the treatment of PPH. Patients with hematomas of 5 to 10 mL or GCS scores of 6 to 8 could benefit from surgery.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1360932. [PMID: 38881880 PMCID: PMC11177091 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1360932] [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: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP) has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for cerebral hemorrhage, despite not being included in current guideline recommendations. Investigating the underlying physiological and pathological mechanisms of Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide in cerebral hemorrhage treatment remains a critical area of research. Objective This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide in cerebral hemorrhage treatment and elucidate its potential biological mechanisms, thereby providing evidence to support treatment optimization. Methods A comprehensive search of seven electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wanfang Database) was conducted for studies published up to September 2023. Screening and data extraction were performed by a team of researchers. The Cochrane collaboration tool was utilized for risk bias assessment, and Revman 5.3 along with Stata 17.0 were employed for statistical analysis. Outcomes We searched 254 literature, and 19 were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide improved the clinical efficacy rate (RR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.19-1.31; p = 0.00), quality of life (MD = 13.93, 95% CI: 11.88-15.98; p = 0.000), increased cerebral blood flow and velocity, reduced cerebral edema volume, Hcy concentration, and did not have obvious adverse reactions (RR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.39-1.18; p = 0.10). Conclusion This meta-analysis is the first to demonstrate the potential of Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide in treating cerebral hemorrhage. It suggests that Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide may alleviate clinical symptoms by modulating neurological function and improving hemodynamics. Our findings provide robust evidence for incorporating Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide into cerebral hemorrhage treatment strategies, potentially guiding future clinical practice and research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prognostication of outcome in severe stroke patients necessitating invasive mechanical ventilation poses significant challenges. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic significance and prevalence of early electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities in adult stroke patients receiving mechanical ventilation. METHODS This study is a pre-planned ancillary investigation within the prospective multicenter SPICE cohort study (2017-2019), conducted in 33 intensive care units (ICUs) in the Paris area, France. We included adult stroke patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, who underwent at least one intermittent EEG examination during their ICU stay. The primary endpoint was the functional neurological outcome at one year, determined using the modified Rankin scale (mRS), and dichotomized as unfavorable (mRS 4-6, indicating severe disability or death) or favorable (mRS 0-3). Multivariable regression analyses were employed to identify EEG abnormalities associated with functional outcomes. RESULTS Of the 364 patients enrolled in the SPICE study, 153 patients (49 ischemic strokes, 52 intracranial hemorrhages, and 52 subarachnoid hemorrhages) underwent at least one EEG at a median time of 4 (interquartile range 2-7) days post-stroke. Rates of diffuse slowing (70% vs. 63%, p = 0.37), focal slowing (38% vs. 32%, p = 0.15), periodic discharges (2.3% vs. 3.7%, p = 0.9), and electrographic seizures (4.5% vs. 3.7%, p = 0.4) were comparable between patients with unfavorable and favorable outcomes. Following adjustment for potential confounders, an unreactive EEG background to auditory and pain stimulations (OR 6.02, 95% CI 2.27-15.99) was independently associated with unfavorable outcomes. An unreactive EEG predicted unfavorable outcome with a specificity of 48% (95% CI 40-56), sensitivity of 79% (95% CI 72-85), and positive predictive value (PPV) of 74% (95% CI 67-81). Conversely, a benign EEG (defined as continuous and reactive background activity without seizure, periodic discharges, triphasic waves, or burst suppression) predicted favorable outcome with a specificity of 89% (95% CI 84-94), and a sensitivity of 37% (95% CI 30-45). CONCLUSION The absence of EEG reactivity independently predicts unfavorable outcomes at one year in severe stroke patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the ICU, although its prognostic value remains limited. Conversely, a benign EEG pattern was associated with a favorable outcome.

Abstract
Background Recurrence can worsen conditions and increase mortality in ICH patients. Predicting the recurrence risk and preventing or treating these patients is a rational strategy to improve outcomes potentially. A machine learning model with improved performance is necessary to predict recurrence. Methods We collected data from ICH patients in two hospitals for our retrospective training cohort and prospective testing cohort. The outcome was the recurrence within one year. We constructed logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), decision trees, Voting Classifier, random forest, and XGBoost models for prediction. Results The model included age, NIHSS score at discharge, hematoma volume at admission and discharge, PLT, AST, and CRP levels at admission, use of hypotensive drugs and history of stroke. In internal validation, logistic regression demonstrated an AUC of 0.89 and precision of 0.81, SVM showed an AUC of 0.93 and precision of 0.90, the random forest achieved an AUC of 0.95 and precision of 0.93, and XGBoost scored an AUC of 0.95 and precision of 0.92. In external validation, logistic regression achieved an AUC of 0.81 and precision of 0.79, SVM obtained an AUC of 0.87 and precision of 0.76, the random forest reached an AUC of 0.92 and precision of 0.86, and XGBoost recorded an AUC of 0.93 and precision of 0.91. Conclusion The machine learning models performed better in predicting ICH recurrence than traditional statistical models. The XGBoost model demonstrated the best comprehensive performance for predicting ICH recurrence in the external testing cohort.

Effect of heparin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with spontaneous intracranial cerebral hemorrhage: a meta-analysis. Ther Adv Drug Saf 2024; 15:20420986241253469. [PMID: 38784386 PMCID: PMC11113067 DOI: 10.1177/20420986241253469] [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: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has a serious impact on the prognosis of patients with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). However, the use of prophylactic heparin remains controversial. Objectives This study investigated the safety and timing of prophylactic heparin for VTE in patients with sICH. Design This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines. Methods Two authors systematically searched Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed to find all published research before June 2023. The incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and mortality were set as primary endpoints. Results This meta-analysis included seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and five observational studies involving a total of 4419 sICH patients in the heparin (n = 2808) and control (n = 1183) groups. Among these patients, 205 received early heparin administration, while 223 received late heparin administration. The results suggested that, compared to the control group, patients in the heparin group had a lower incidence of VTE [odds ratio (OR), 0.47; 95% CI, 0.31-0.71; p < 0.001], DVT (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.33-0.85; p = 0.009), pulmonary embolism (OR, 0.31 95% CI, 0.15-0.65; p = 0.002), and mortality (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.54-0.90; p = 0.006), but there were no statistical differences in hematoma enlargement, extracranial hematoma, and major disability (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in DVT, mortality, hematoma enlargement, and extracranial hemorrhage between the early heparin group (<24-48 h) and the late heparin group (p > 0.05). Conclusion In patients with sICH, prophylactic use of heparin may be beneficial because it reduces the incidence of VTE and mortality without increasing the risk of additional bleeding. In addition, early prophylactic use of heparin appears to be safe. However, large-scale RCTs are lacking to support this evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anticoagulation in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and mechanical heart valves is often held for risk of ICH expansion; however, there exists a competing risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Optimal timing to resume anticoagulation remains uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively studied patients with ICH and mechanical heart valves from 2000 to 2018. The primary outcome was a composite end point of symptomatic hematoma expansion or new ICH, AIS, and intracardiac thrombus up to 30 days post-ICH. The exposure was timing of reinitiation of anticoagulation classified as early (resumed up to 7 days after ICH), late (≥7 and up to 30 days after ICH), and never if not resumed or resumed after 30 days post-ICH. We included 184 patients with ICH and mechanical heart valves (65 anticoagulated early, 100 late, 19 not resumed by day 30 post-ICH). Twelve patients had AIS, 16 new ICH, and 6 intracardiac thromboses. The mean time from ICH to anticoagulation was 12.7 days. Composite outcomes occurred in 12 patients resumed early (18.5%), 14 resumed late (14.0%), and 4 never resumed (21.1%). There was no increased hazard of the composite outcome (hazard ratio [HR], 1.1 [95% CI, 0.2-6.0]), AIS, or worsening or new ICH among patients resumed early versus late. There was no difference in the composite among patients never resumed versus resumed. Patients who never resumed anticoagulation had significantly more severe ICH (median Glasgow Coma Scale: 10.6, 13.9, and 13.9 among those who resumed never, early, and late, respectively; P=0.0001), higher in-hospital mortality (56.5%, 0%, and 0%, respectively; P<0.0001), and an elevated 30-day AIS risk (HR, 15.9 [95% CI, 1.9-129.7], P=0.0098). CONCLUSIONS In this study of patients with ICH and mechanical heart valves, there was no difference in 30-day thrombotic and hemorrhagic brain-related outcomes when anticoagulation was resumed within 7 versus 7 to 30 days after ICH. Withholding anticoagulation >30 days was associated with severe baseline ICH, higher in-hospital case fatality, and elevated AIS risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are the most common causes of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); however, these conditions do not imply macrovascular pathology. Still, computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) is often performed in the acute phase in patients with ICH. PURPOSE To assess the diagnostic yield of CTA in the detection of secondary etiology in consecutive patients with spontaneous ICH. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of data from a prospective single-center cohort study of 203 patients presenting with spontaneous ICH admitted to a comprehensive stroke center over a two-year period (15 October 2016 to 15 October 2018). The underlying vascular pathology was assessed using CTA. RESULTS CTA was performed in addition to non-contrast CT and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Vascular pathology was found in 11 of 203 (5.4%) patients and included arteriovenous malformations (n=4), aneurysms (n=4), vasospasms (n=1), cerebral venous thrombosis (n=1), and other vascular malformations (n=1). In eight cases, the finding was deemed symptomatic. Patients with vascular pathology on CTA more often had lobar located hemorrhages (63.6% vs. 36.4%, P = 0.049). Numerically, patients with vascular pathology were younger, had smaller hematoma volumes, and lower mortality. CONCLUSION Underlying macrovascular pathology was detected on CTA in only approximately 1 of 20 consecutive patients with ICH. The patients with vascular pathology more often had a hemorrhage with a lobar location and young age and the present study is supportive of a risk-based stratification approach in performing CTA.

Observation of the Therapeutic Effect of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy with Aspirin and Clopidogrel on the Incidence, Characteristics, and Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Cerebral Microbleeds at a Teaching Hospital, China. Int J Gen Med 2024; 17:2327-2336.

Abstract
Background Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are an important risk factor for stroke recurrence and prognosis. However, there is no consensus on the safety of antiplatelet therapy in patients with ischemic stroke and CMBs. Objective This study aimed to observe the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel on bleeding conversion in patients with different degrees of CMBs. Materials and Methods An observational retrospective study was conducted on 160 patients with acute mild ischemic stroke admitted to the Stroke Center, Affiliated Hospital of Beihua University between March 2021 and December 2022. Patients were divided into the CMBs and non-CMB groups. The CMB group was then divided into the low, medium and high-risk groups. In two groups, all patients were administered dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg orally once a day for 21 days according to the Chinese Stroke Guidelines of 2018), and no other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs were administered during the treatment period. Head CT, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were re-checked, and the number of bleeding conversions was calculated at 21 days. Results Five patients in the CMB group had intracranial hemorrhage (5/116, 4.3%), while no intracranial hemorrhage was observed in the non-CMB group. There were no differences in the conversion rate of cerebral hemorrhage, NIHSS score, or mRS score between two groups after dual antiplatelet therapy (p>0.05). The conversion rate of cerebral hemorrhage in the high-risk group was higher than that in the non-CMB group (p<0.05), but the NIHSS and mRS score showed no difference between the high-risk and non-CMB groups (p>0.05). Conclusion Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel does not significantly increase the risk of bleeding transformation; however, it improves neurological recovery or long-term prognosis in patients with acute ischemic cerebral stroke complicated by low-risk and middle-risk CMBs.

Abstract
Prolonged ventilation is a complication of spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage patients, but the predictive relationship with successful weaning in this patient cohort is not understood. Here, we evaluate the incidence and factors of ventilation weaning in case of spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage. We retrospectively studied data from 166 patients in the same hospital from January 2015 to March 2021 and analyzed factors for ventilation weaning. The clinical data recorded included patient age, gender, timing of operation, initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) score, alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking, medical comorbidity, and the blood data. Predictors of patient outcomes were determined by the Student t test, chi-square test, and logistic regression. We recruited and followed 166 patients who received operation for spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage with cerebral herniation. The group of successful weaning had 84 patients and the group of weaning failed had 82 patients. The patient's age, type of operation, GCS on admission to the Intensive care unit (ICU), GCS at discharge from the ICU, medical comorbidity was significantly associated with successful weaning, according to Student t test and the chi-square test. According to our findings, patients with stereotaxic surgery, less history of cardiovascular or prior cerebral infarction, GCS >8 before admission to the hospital for craniotomy, and a blood albumin value >3.5 g/dL have a higher chance of being successfully weaned off the ventilator within 14 days.

Abstract
Objective Recent reports have demonstrated that a wider pulse pressure upon admission is correlated with heightened in-hospital mortality following spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ssICH). However, the underlying mechanism remains ambiguous. We investigated whether a wider pulse pressure was associated with hematoma expansion (HE). Methods Demographic information, clinical features, and functional outcomes of patients diagnosed with ssICH were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to identify independent predictors of HE. Weighted logistic regression, restricted cubic spline models, and propensity score matching (PSM) were employed to estimate the association between pulse pressure and HE. Results We included 234 eligible adult ssICH patients aged 60 (51-71) years, and 55.56% were male. The mean pulse pressure was 80.94 ± 23.32 mmHg. Twenty-seven patients (11.54%) developed early HE events, and 116 (49.57%) experienced a poor outcome (modified Rankin scale 3-6). A wider mean pulse pressure as a continuous variable was a predictor of HE [odds ratios (OR) 1.026, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.007-1.046, p = 0.008] in multivariate analysis. We transformed pulse pressure into a dichotomous variable based on its cutoff value. After adjusting for confounding of HE variables, the occurrence of HE in patients with ssICH with wider pulse pressure levels (≥98 mmHg) had 3.78 times (OR 95% CI 1.47-9.68, p = 0.006) compared to those with narrower pulse pressure levels (<98 mmHg). A linear association was observed between pulse pressure and increased HE risk (P for overall = 0.036, P for nonlinear = 0.759). After 1:1 PSM (pulse pressure ≥98 mmHg vs. pulse pressure <98 mmHg), the rates of HE events and poor outcome still had statistically significant in wider-pulse pressure group [HE, 12/51 (23.53%) vs. 4/51 [7.84%], p = 0.029; poor outcome, 34/51 (66.67%) vs. 19/51 (37.25%), p = 0.003]. Conclusion Widened acute pulse pressure (≥98 mmHg) levels at admission are associated with increased risks of early HE and unfavorable outcomes in patients with ssICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The time taken to achieve blood pressure (BP) control could be pivotal in the benefits of reducing BP in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to assess the relationship between the rapid achievement and sustained maintenance of an intensive systolic BP (SBP) target with radiologic, clinical, and functional outcomes. METHODS Rapid, Intensive, and Sustained BP lowering in Acute ICH (RAINS) was a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study of adult patients with ICH <6 hours and SBP ≥150 mm Hg at 4 Comprehensive Stroke Centers during a 4.5-year period. Patients underwent baseline and 24-hour CT scans and 24-hour noninvasive BP monitoring. BP was managed under a rapid (target achievement ≤60 minutes), intensive (target SBP <140 mm Hg), and sustained (target stability for 24 hours) BP protocol. SBP target achievement ≤60 minutes and 24-hour SBP variability were recorded. Outcomes included hematoma expansion (>6 mL or >33%) at 24 hours (primary outcome), early neurologic deterioration (END, 24-hour increase in NIH Stroke Scale score ≥4), and 90-day ordinal modified Rankin scale (mRS) score. Analyses were adjusted by age, sex, anticoagulation, onset-to-imaging time, ICH volume, and intraventricular extension. RESULTS We included 312 patients (mean age 70.2 ± 13.3 years, 202 [64.7%] male). Hematoma expansion occurred in 70/274 (25.6%) patients, END in 58/291 (19.9%), and the median 90-day mRS score was 4 (interquartile range, 2-5). SBP target achievement ≤60 minutes (178/312 [57.1%]) associated with a lower risk of hematoma expansion (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23-0.77), lower END rate (aOR 0.43, 95% CI 0.23-0.80), and lower 90-day mRS scores (aOR 0.48, 95% CI 0.32-0.74). The mean 24-hour SBP variability was 21.0 ± 7.6 mm Hg. Higher 24-hour SBP variability was not related to expansion (aOR 0.99, 95% CI 0.95-1.04) but associated with higher END rate (aOR 1.15, 95% CI 1.09-1.21) and 90-day mRS scores (aOR 1.06, 95% CI 1.04-1.10). DISCUSSION Among patients with acute ICH, achieving an intensive SBP target within 60 minutes was associated with lower hematoma expansion risk. Rapid SBP reduction and stable sustention within 24 hours were related to improved clinical and functional outcomes. These findings warrant the design of randomized clinical trials examining the impact of effectively achieving rapid, intensive, and sustained BP control on hematoma expansion. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that in adults with spontaneous ICH and initial SBP ≥150 mm Hg, lowering SBP to <140 mm Hg within the first hour and maintaining this for 24 hours is associated with decreased hematoma expansion.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is characterized by hematoma development within the brain's parenchyma, contributing significantly to the burden of stroke. While non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) remains the gold standard for initial diagnosis, this review underscores the pivotal role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ICH management. Beyond diagnosis, MRI offers invaluable insights into ICH etiology, prognosis, and treatment. Utilizing echo-planar gradient-echo or susceptibility-weighted sequences, MRI demonstrates exceptional sensitivity and specificity in identifying ICH, aiding in differentiation of primary and secondary causes. Moreover, MRI facilitates assessment of hemorrhage age, recognition of secondary lesions, and evaluation of perihematomal edema progression, thus guiding tailored therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive review discusses the multifaceted utility of MRI in ICH management, highlighting its indispensable role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy as well as aiding in prognostication. As MRI continues to evolve as a cornerstone of ICH assessment, future research should explore its nuanced applications in personalized care paradigms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a serious stroke subtype with high mortality and morbidity. Minimally invasive surgery plus thrombolysis is a promising treatment option, but it requires accurate catheter placement and real-time monitoring. The authors introduced IV flat detector CT angiography (ivFDCTA) into the minimally invasive surgery procedure for the first time, to provide vascular information and guidance for hematoma evacuation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were treated with minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of ivFDCTA and flat detector CT (FDCT) in the angiography suite. The needle path and puncture depth were planned and calculated using software on the DSA workstation. The hematoma volume reduction, operation time, complications, and clinical outcomes were recorded and evaluated. RESULTS The mean preoperative hematoma volume of 36 patients was 35 (SD, 12) mL, the mean intraoperative volume reduction was 19 (SD, 11) mL, and the mean postoperative residual hematoma volume was 15 (SD, 8) mL. The average operation time was 59 (SD, 22) minutes. One patient had an intraoperative epidural hematoma, which improved after conservative treatment. The mean Glasgow Outcome Scale score at discharge was 4.3 (SD, 0.8), and the mean mRS score at 90 days was 2.4 (SD, 1.1). CONCLUSIONS The use of ivFDCTA in the evacuation of an intracerebral hemorrhage hematoma could improve the safety and efficiency of minimally invasive surgery and has shown great potential in hemorrhagic stroke management in selected patients.

[PMID: 38387789 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2024.02.058] [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: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The significance of noncontrast computer tomography (CT) image markers in predicting hematoma expansion (HE) following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within different time intervals in the initial 24 hours after onset may be uncertain. Hence, our objective was to examine the predictive value of clinical factors and CT image markers for HE within the initial 24 hours using machine learning algorithms. METHODS Four machine learning algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine, random forest, and logistic regression, were employed to assess the predictive efficacy of HE within every 6-hour interval during the first 24 hours post-ICH. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves was utilized to appraise predictive performance across various time periods within the initial 24 hours. RESULTS A total of 604 patients were included, with 326 being male, and 112 experiencing hematoma expansion (HE). The findings from machine learning algorithms revealed that computed tomography (CT) image markers, baseline hematoma volume, and other factors could accurately predict HE. Among these algorithms, XGBoost demonstrated the most robust predictive model results. XGBoost's accuracy at different time intervals was 0.89, 0.82, 0.87, and 0.94, accompanied by F1-scores of 0.89, 0.80, 0.87, and 0.93, respectively. The corresponding area under the curve was 0.96, affirming the precision of the predictive capability. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography (CT) imaging markers and clinical factors could effectively predict HE within the initial 24 hours across various time periods by machine learning algorithms. In the expansive landscape of big data and multimodal cerebral hemorrhage, machine learning held significant potential within the realm of neuroscience.

ABO blood type and thromboembolic complications after intracerebral hemorrhage: An exploratory analysis. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107678. [PMID: 38479493 PMCID: PMC11097653 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Non-O blood types are known to be associated with thromboembolic complications (TECs) in population-based studies. TECs are known drivers of morbidity and mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, yet the relationships of blood type on TECs in this patient population are unknown. We sought to explore the relationships between ABO blood type and TECs in ICH patients. METHODS Consecutive adult ICH patients enrolled into a prospective observational cohort study with available ABO blood type data were analyzed. Patients with cancer history, prior thromboembolism, and baseline laboratory evidence of coagulopathy were excluded. The primary exposure variable was blood type (non-O versus O). The primary outcome was composite TEC, defined as pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction, during the hospital stay. Relationships between blood type, TECs and clinical outcomes were separately assessed using logistic regression models after adjusting for sex, ethnicity and ICH score. RESULTS Of 301 ICH patients included for analysis, 44% were non-O blood type. Non-O blood type was associated with higher admission GCS and lower ICH score on baseline comparisons. We identified TECs in 11.6% of our overall patient cohort. . Although TECs were identified in 9.9% of non-O blood type patients compared to 13.0% in O blood type patients, we did not identify a significant relationship of non-O blood type with TECs (adjusted OR=0.776, 95%CI: 0.348-1.733, p=0.537). The prevalence of specific TECs were also comparable in unadjusted and adjusted analyses between the two cohorts. In additional analyses, we identified that TECs were associated with poor 90-day mRS (adjusted OR=3.452, 95% CI: 1.001-11.903, p=0.050). We did not identify relationships between ABO blood type and poor 90-day mRS (adjusted OR=0.994, 95% CI:0.465-2.128, p=0.988). CONCLUSIONS We identified that TECs were associated with worse ICH outcomes. However, we did not identify relationships in ABO blood type and TECs. Further work is required to assess best diagnostic and prophylactic and treatment strategies for TECs to improve ICH outcomes.

Iron/ROS/Itga3 mediated accelerated depletion of hippocampal neural stem cell pool contributes to cognitive impairment after hemorrhagic stroke. Redox Biol 2024; 71:103086.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke, specifically intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), has been implicated in the development of persistent cognitive impairment, significantly compromising the quality of life for affected individuals. Nevertheless, the precise underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report for the first time that the accumulation of iron within the hippocampus, distal to the site of ICH in the striatum, is causally linked to the observed cognitive impairment with both clinical patient data and animal model. Both susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) demonstrated significant iron accumulation in the hippocampus of ICH patients, which is far from the actual hematoma. Logistical regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis identified iron level as an independent risk factor with a negative correlation with post-ICH cognitive impairment. Using a mouse model of ICH, we demonstrated that iron accumulation triggers an excessive activation of neural stem cells (NSCs). This overactivation subsequently leads to the depletion of the NSC pool, diminished neurogenesis, and the onset of progressive cognitive dysfunction. Mechanistically, iron accumulation elevated the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which downregulated the expression of Itga3. Notably, pharmacological chelation of iron accumulation or scavenger of aberrant ROS levels, as well as conditionally overexpressed Itga3 in NSCs, remarkably attenuated the exhaustion of NSC pool, abnormal neurogenesis and cognitive decline in the mouse model of ICH. Together, these results provide molecular insights into ICH-induced cognitive impairment, shedding light on the value of maintaining NSC pool in preventing cognitive dysfunction in patients with hemorrhagic stroke or related conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the association between early surgery and the risk of mortality in patients with left-sided infective endocarditis in the context of stroke. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING This study was a multiinstitution study based on the Chang Gung Research Database, which contains electronic medical records from 7 hospitals in northern and southern Taiwan; these include 2 medical centers, 2 regional hospitals, and 3 district hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Patients with active left-sided infective endocarditis who underwent valve surgery between September 2002 and December 2018. INTERVENTIONS The authors divided patients into 2 groups, with versus without preoperative neurologic complications, had undergone early (within 7 d) or later surgery, and with brain ischemia or hemorrhage. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Three hundred ninety-two patients with a median time from diagnosis to surgery of 6 days were included. No significant differences in postoperative stroke, in-hospital mortality, or follow-up outcomes were observed between the patients with and without neurologic complications. Among the patients with preoperative neurologic complications, patients who underwent early surgery had a lower 30-day postoperative mortality rate (13.1% v 25.8%; hazard ratio, 0.21; 95% CI 0.07-0.67). In the subgroup analysis of the comparison between brain ischemia and hemorrhage groups, there was no significant between-group difference in the in-hospital outcomes or outcomes after discharge. CONCLUSIONS Early cardiac surgery may be associated with more favorable clinical outcomes in patients with preoperative neurologic complications. Thus, preoperative neurologic complications should not delay surgical interventions.

Abstract
Stroke is the third leading cause of years lost due to disability and the second-largest cause of mortality worldwide. Most occurrences of stroke are brought on by the sudden occlusion of an artery (ischemic stroke), but sometimes they are brought on by bleeding into brain tissue after a blood vessel has ruptured (hemorrhagic stroke). Alteplase is the only therapy the American Food and Drug Administration has approved for ischemic stroke under the thrombolysis category. Current views as well as relevant clinical research on the diagnosis, assessment, and management of stroke are reviewed to suggest appropriate treatment strategies. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for the available therapeutic regimes in the past, present, and future. With the advent of endovascular therapy in 2015 and intravenous thrombolysis in 1995, the therapeutic options for ischemic stroke have expanded significantly. A novel approach such as vagus nerve stimulation could be life-changing for many stroke patients. Therapeutic hypothermia, the process of cooling the body or brain to preserve organ integrity, is one of the most potent neuroprotectants in both clinical and preclinical contexts. The rapid intervention has been linked to more favorable clinical results. This study focuses on the pathogenesis of stroke, as well as its recent advancements, future prospects, and potential therapeutic targets in stroke therapy.

Abstract
Background The nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have become the mainstay anticoagulation therapy for patients requiring oral anticoagulants (OACs) in the Gulf Council Cooperation (GCC) countries. The frequency of NOAC-associated major bleeding is expected to increase in the Emergency Department (ED). Nonetheless, we still lack local guidelines and recommendations for bleeding management in the region. The present Delphi-based consensus aims to establish a standardized and evidence-based clinical care pathway for managing NOAC-associated major bleeding in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods We adopted a three-step modified Delphi method to develop evidence-based recommendations through two voting rounds and an advisory meeting between the two rounds. A panel of 11 experts from the KSA and UAE participated in the consensus development. Results Twenty-eight statements reached the consensus level. These statements addressed key aspects of managing major bleeding events associated with NOACs, including the increased use of NOAC in clinical practice, clinical care pathways, and treatment options. Conclusion The present Delphi consensus provides evidence-based recommendations and protocols for the management of NOAC-associated bleeding in the region. Patients with major DOAC-induced bleeding should be referred to a well-equipped ED with standardized management protocols. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for establishing the association between NOAC use and major bleeding. Treating physicians should have prompt access to specific reversal agents to optimize patient outcomes. Real-world evidence and national guidelines are needed to aid all stakeholders involved in NOAC-induced bleeding management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A cerebellar bulge prior to posterior fossa resection is an emergency condition during surgery. Intraoperative cerebellar bulging not only increases the difficulty of lesion resection but also brings additional postoperative complications. Currently, there are few systematic reports on this topic. The predictors of cerebellar bulge and how to effectively prevent intraoperative cerebellar bulge are discussed in this article. METHODS The clinical and imaging data of 527 patients with posterior fossa lesions who underwent resection at our hospital were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Perioperative clinical and imaging data were assessed. Variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Overall, 10.4% (55/527) of patients had intraoperative acute bulges. Multivariate analysis revealed that age <60 years, body mass index ≥24, lesion size ≥30 (mm), cerebellar tonsillar herniation and/or hydrocephalus, and perilesional edema (moderate-severe) were predictors of cerebellar bulging. Relief of the cerebellar bulge can be accomplished by excising the lesion, releasing cerebrospinal fluid, and removing the cerebellum (the outer one-third). Obvious cerebellar-related complications occurred in 4 patients postoperatively, and the symptoms disappeared after 6 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Cerebellar bulging during intraoperative posterior fossa resection deserves attention. Through the analysis of multiple factors related to cerebellar bulge, comprehensive evaluation and early intervention during the perioperative period are necessary. The incidence of cerebellar bulges can be reduced, and surgical complications related to cerebellar bulges can be avoided.

Abstract
The use of anticoagulants has become more frequent due to the progressive aging population and increased thromboembolic events. Consequently, the proportion of anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (AAICH) in stroke patients is gradually increasing. Compared with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients without coagulopathy, patients with AAICH may have larger hematomas, worse prognoses, and higher mortality. Given the need for anticoagulant reversal and resumption, the management of AAICH differs from that of conventional medical or surgical treatments for ICH, and it is more specific. Understanding the pharmacology of anticoagulants and identifying agents that can reverse their effects in the early stages are crucial for treating life-threatening AAICH. When patients transition beyond the acute phase and their vital signs stabilize, it is important to consider resuming anticoagulants at the right time to prevent the occurrence of further thromboembolism. However, the timing and strategy for reversing and resuming anticoagulants are still in a dilemma. Herein, we summarize the important clinical studies, reviews, and related guidelines published in the past few years that focus on the reversal and resumption of anticoagulants in AAICH patients to help implement decisive diagnosis and treatment strategies in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tools to increase the turnaround speed and accuracy of imaging reports could positively influence ED logistics. The Caire ICH is an artificial intelligence (AI) software developed for ED physicians to recognise intracranial haemorrhages (ICHs) on non-contrast enhanced cranial CT scans to manage the clinical care of these patients in a timelier fashion. METHODS A dataset of 532 non-contrast cranial CT scans was reviewed by five board-certified emergency physicians (EPs) with an average of 14.8 years of practice experience. The scans were labelled in random order for the presence or absence of an ICH. If an ICH was detected, the reader further labelled all subtypes present (ie, epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal and/or intraventricular haemorrhage). After a washout period, the five EPs reviewed again the scans individually with the assistance of Caire ICH. The mean accuracy of the EP readings with AI assistance was compared with the mean accuracy of three general radiologists reading the films individually. The final diagnosis (ie, ground truth) was adjudicated by a consensus of the radiologists after their individual readings. RESULTS Mean EP reader accuracy significantly increased by 6.20% (95% CI for the difference 5.10%-7.29%; p=0.0092) when using Caire ICH to detect an ICH. Mean accuracy of the EP cohort in detecting an ICH using Caire ICH was found to be more accurate than the radiologist cohort prior to discussion; this difference, however, was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION The Caire ICH software significantly improved the accuracy and sensitivity of detecting an ICH by the EP to a level comparable to general radiologists. Further prospective research with larger numbers will be needed to understand the impact of Caire ICH on ED logistics and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm is a high-risk disease, with imaging playing a crucial role in their diagnosis and treatment. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence in imaging technology holds promise for the development of AI-based radiomics predictive models. These models could potentially enable the automatic detection and diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms, assess their status, and predict outcomes, thereby assisting in the creation of personalized treatment plans. In addition, these techniques could improve diagnostic efficiency for physicians and patient prognoses. This article aims to review the progress of artificial intelligence radiomics in the study of intracranial aneurysms, addressing the challenges faced and future prospects, in hopes of introducing new ideas for the precise diagnosis and treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Abstract
Background Ultra-early inflammatory reaction after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) plays an important role in the coagulation process and is closely related to early hematoma expansion. However, the relationship between ultra-early hematoma growth (uHG) and ultra-early inflammatory reaction remains unknown. Objective To evaluate the association between ultra-early inflammatory indicators and uHG in patients with sICH. Methods We retrospectively included 225 patients with acute sICH who were divided into the uHG ≤4.7 ml/h group and the uHG >4.7 ml/h group, respectively. The uHG was defined as hematoma volume (milliliter) at the primary computed tomography (CT) scan divided by time (hour) from onset to the performance of primary CT within 6 h after onset. The white blood cells (WBC), blood hypersensitive C-reactive protein, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and other related baseline data were collected and compared between the two groups. The multivariate regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the independent risk factors for uHG >4.7 ml/h. Results NIHSS score and WBC were independent risk factors for uHG in patients with acute sICH (OR 1.188, 95% CI: 1.111-1.271, p < 0.001; OR 1.151, 95% CI: 1.018-1.300, p = 0.024; respectively). The area under curve of ROC for WBC and NIHSS score was 0.658 and 0.754, respectively (all p < 0.001), while the WBC combined with NIHSS score was 0.773 (p < 0.001). Conclusion WBC count within 6h after onset might be an independent risk factor for the increase of uHG in patients with sICH.

Incidence, Severity, and Risk Factors of Hemorrhagic Complications of Epilepsy Surgery After 2026 Craniotomies from 2003 to 2019: A Single Center Experience. World Neurosurg 2024:S1878-8750(24)00606-5. [PMID: 38616029 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2024.04.043] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is effective in the treatment of epilepsy, particularly focal epilepsy. The aim of this work was to report the incidence and grade of severity of hemorrhagic complications after cranial epilepsy surgery, and investigate the risk factors. METHODS Patients who underwent epilepsy surgery via craniotomy between October 2003 and April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of hemorrhagic complications occurring in a 3-month period after cranial surgery was recorded. Other outcomes included the grade of hemorrhagic severity and risk factors. RESULTS During the inclusion period, 2026 surgical procedures were performed. Sixty-six hemorrhagic complications were recorded. The total incidence of hemorrhagic complications after cranial epilepsy surgery was 3.3%. The most common type of hemorrhagic complications was epidural hemorrhage (57.6%), followed by intraparenchymal hemorrhage (33.3%). Forty-five patients (68.2%) had grade I complications, 4 (6.1%) grade II, 16 (24.2%) grade III, and 1 (1.5%) grade IV. The mortality due to hemorrhagic complications was 1.5% (1 of 66) and hemorrhagic mortality among all cranial surgery was 0.05% (1 of 2026). Left craniotomy induced a higher percentage of severe hemorrhage than the right (34.2% vs. 14.3%). Extratemporal lobe epilepsy induced a higher percentage of severe hemorrhage than other epilepsy type (34.2% vs. 14.3%). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between these two factors (P = 0.067). CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhagic complications were uncommon after open surgery for epilepsy. Most hemorrhagic complications were mild while the severe were rare. Patients with hemorrhagic complications had a good prognosis after effective treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trials of surgical evacuation of supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages have generally shown no functional benefit. Whether early minimally invasive surgical removal would result in better outcomes than medical management is not known. METHODS In this multicenter, randomized trial involving patients with an acute intracerebral hemorrhage, we assessed surgical removal of the hematoma as compared with medical management. Patients who had a lobar or anterior basal ganglia hemorrhage with a hematoma volume of 30 to 80 ml were assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, within 24 hours after the time that they were last known to be well, to minimally invasive surgical removal of the hematoma plus guideline-based medical management (surgery group) or to guideline-based medical management alone (control group). The primary efficacy end point was the mean score on the utility-weighted modified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating better outcomes, according to patients' assessment) at 180 days, with a prespecified threshold for posterior probability of superiority of 0.975 or higher. The trial included rules for adaptation of enrollment criteria on the basis of hemorrhage location. A primary safety end point was death within 30 days after enrollment. RESULTS A total of 300 patients were enrolled, of whom 30.7% had anterior basal ganglia hemorrhages and 69.3% had lobar hemorrhages. After 175 patients had been enrolled, an adaptation rule was triggered, and only persons with lobar hemorrhages were enrolled. The mean score on the utility-weighted modified Rankin scale at 180 days was 0.458 in the surgery group and 0.374 in the control group (difference, 0.084; 95% Bayesian credible interval, 0.005 to 0.163; posterior probability of superiority of surgery, 0.981). The mean between-group difference was 0.127 (95% Bayesian credible interval, 0.035 to 0.219) among patients with lobar hemorrhages and -0.013 (95% Bayesian credible interval, -0.147 to 0.116) among those with anterior basal ganglia hemorrhages. The percentage of patients who had died by 30 days was 9.3% in the surgery group and 18.0% in the control group. Five patients (3.3%) in the surgery group had postoperative rebleeding and neurologic deterioration. CONCLUSIONS Among patients in whom surgery could be performed within 24 hours after an acute intracerebral hemorrhage, minimally invasive hematoma evacuation resulted in better functional outcomes at 180 days than those with guideline-based medical management. The effect of surgery appeared to be attributable to intervention for lobar hemorrhages. (Funded by Nico; ENRICH ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02880878.).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Naoxueshu Oral Liquid (NXS) could promote hematoma absorption in post-craniotomy hematoma (PCH) patients. METHODS This is an open-label, multicenter, and randomized controlled trial conducted at 9 hospitals in China. Patients aged 18-80 years with post-craniotomy supratentorial hematoma volume ranging from 10 to 30 mL or post-craniotomy infratentorial hematoma volume less than 10 mL, or intraventricular hemorrhage following cranial surgery were enrolled. They were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to the NXS (10 mL thrice daily for 15 days) or control groups using a randomization code table. Standard medical care was administered in both groups. The primary outcome was the percentage reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 15. The secondary outcomes included the percentage reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 7, the absolute reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 7 and 15, and the change in neurological function from day 1 to day 7 and 15. The safety was closely monitored throughout the study. Moreover, subgroup analysis was performed based on age, gender, history of diabetes, and etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). RESULTS A total of 120 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned between March 30, 2018 and April 15, 2020. One patient was lost to follow-up in the control group. Finally, there were 119 patients (60 in the NXS group and 59 in the control group) included in the analysis. In the full analysis set (FAS) analysis, the NXS group had a greater percentage reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 15 than the control group [median (Q1, Q3): 85% (71%, 97%) vs. 76% (53%, 93%), P<0.05]. The secondary outcomes showed no statistical significance between two groups, either in FAS or per-protocol set (P>0.05). Furthermore, no adverse events were reported during the study. In the FAS analysis, the NXS group exhibited a higher percentage reduction in hematoma volume on day 15 in the following subgroups: male patients, patients younger than 65 years, patients without diabetes, or those with initial cranial surgery due to ICH (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The administration of NXS demonstrated the potential to promote the percentage reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 15. This intervention was found to be safe and feasible. The response to NXS may be influenced by patient characteristics. (Registration No. ChiCTR1800017981).
