Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing radiological markers of hematoma expansion (HE) show modest predictive accuracy. We aim to investigate a novel radiological marker that co-localizes findings from non-contrast CT (NCCT) and CT angiography (CTA) to predict HE. METHODS Consecutive acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients admitted at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Canada, were included. The Black-&-White sign was defined as any visually identified spot sign on CTA co-localized with a hypodensity sign on the corresponding NCCT. The primary outcome was hematoma expansion (⩾6 mL or ⩾33%). Secondary outcomes included absolute (<3, 3-6, 6-12, ⩾12 mL) and relative (0%, <25%, 25%-50%, 50%-75%, or >75%) hematoma growth scales. RESULTS Two-hundred patients were included, with 50 (25%) experiencing HE. Forty-four (22%) showed the spot sign, 69 (34.5%) the hypodensity sign, and 14 (7%) co-localized both as the Black-&-White sign. Those with the Black-&-White sign had higher proportions of HE (100% vs 19.4%, p < 0.001), greater absolute hematoma growth (23.37 mL (IQR = 15.41-30.27) vs 0 mL (IQR = 0-2.39), p < 0.001) and relative hematoma growth (120% (IQR = 49-192) vs 0% (0-15%), p < 0.001). The Black-&-White sign had a specificity of 100% (95%CI = 97.6%-100%), a positive predictive value of 100% (95%CI = 76.8%-100%), and an overall accuracy of 82% (95%CI = 76%-87.1%). Among the 14 patients with the Black-&-White sign, 13 showed an absolute hematoma growth ⩾12 mL, and 10 experienced a HE exceeding 75% of the initial volume. The inter-rater agreement was excellent (kappa coefficient = 0.84). CONCLUSION The Black-&-White sign is a robust predictor of hematoma expansion occurrence and severity, yet further validation is needed to confirm these compelling findings.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a very serious kind of stroke. If the outcome of patients can be accurately assessed at the early stage of disease occurrence, it will be of great significance to the patients and clinical treatment. The present study was conducted to investigate whether non-contrast computer tomography (NCCT) models of hematoma and perihematomal tissues could improve the accuracy of short-term prognosis prediction in ICH patients with conservative treatment. In this retrospective analysis, a total of 166 ICH patients with conservative treatment during hospitalization were included. Patients were randomized into a training group (N = 132) and a validation group (N = 34) in a ratio of 8:2, and the functional outcome at 90 days after clinical treatment was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Radiomic features of hematoma and perihematomal tissues of 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm were extracted from NCCT images. Clinical factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictive factors. In the validation group, the mean area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the hematoma was 0.830, the AUC of the perihematomal tissue within 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm was 0.792, 0.826, 0.774, respectively, and the AUC of the combined model of hematoma and perihematomal tissue within 10 mm was 0.795. The clinical-radiomics nomogram consisting of five independent predictors and radiomics score (Rad-score) of the hematoma model were used to assess 90-day functional outcome in ICH patients with conservative treatment. Our findings found that the hematoma model had better discriminative efficacy in evaluating the early prognosis of conservatively managed ICH patients. The visual clinical-radiomics nomogram provided a more intuitive individualized risk assessment for 90-day functional outcome in ICH patients with conservative treatment. The hematoma could remain the primary therapeutic target for conservatively managed ICH patients, emphasizing the need for future clinical focus on the biological significance of the hematoma itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in leukemia patients progresses rapidly with high mortality. Limited data are available on imaging studies in this population. The study aims to develop prediction models for 7-day and short-term mortality risk based on the non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) image features. METHODS The NCCT image features of ICH in 135 leukemia patients between 2007-2023 were retrospectively extracted using manual assessment and radiomics methods. After multiple imputation of missing laboratory data, univariate logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used for feature selection. Random forest models were built with comprehensive evaluation and ranking of feature importance. RESULT 135 and 129 patients were included in the studies for 7-day and short-term prognostic models, respectively. The median age of all enrolled patients was 35 years, and there were 86 male patients (63.7 %). Clinical models (validation: AUC [area under the curve] = 0.78, AUPRC [area under the precision-recall curve] = 0.73; AUC = 0.84, AUPRC = 0.86), radiomics models (validation: AUC = 0.82, AUPRC = 0.78; AUC = 0.75, AUPRC = 0.77), and the combined models (validation: AUC = 0.84, AUPRC = 0.83; AUC = 0.87, AUPRC = 0.89) predicted 7-day and short-term mortality with good predictive efficacy. Clinical decision curve analysis showed that the combined models predicted 7-day and 30-day risk of death would be more beneficial than other models. Shape features contributed significantly more than semantic features in both radiomics models and combined models (93.3 %, 52.1 %, as well as 85.2 %,37.4 %, respectively) for 7-day and 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Combined models constructed based on NCCT perform well in predicting the risk of 7-day and short-term mortality in ICH patients with leukemia. Shape features extracted by radiomics are important markers for modeling the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in cerebral vessels, leading to lobar cerebral microbleeds (CMB) and intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). Apolipoprotein J (ApoJ) is a multifunctional chaperone related to Aβ aggregation and clearance. Our study investigated the vascular impact of chronic recombinant human Apolipoprotein J (rhApoJ) treatment in a transgenic mouse model of β-amyloidosis with prominent CAA. METHODS Twenty-month-old APP23 C57BL/6 mice received 25 doses of rhApoJ (1 mg/kg) (n = 9) or saline (n = 8) intraperitoneally for 13 weeks, while Wild-type (WT) mice received saline (n = 13). Postmortem brains underwent T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect hemorrhagic lesions. Aβ levels and distribution, cerebral fibrinogen leakage, brain smooth muscle actin (sma), and plasma matrix metalloproteinases and inflammatory markers were analyzed after treatments. Additionally, plasma samples from 22 patients with lobar ICH were examined to determine the clinical relevance of the preclinical findings. RESULTS rhApoJ-treated APP23 presented fewer cortical CMBs (50-300 μm diameter) (p = 0.012) and cortical larger hemorrhages (> 300 μm) (p = 0.002) than saline-treated mice, independently of Aβ brain levels. MRI-detected hemorrhagic lesions correlated with fibrinogen cerebral extravasation (p = 0.011). Additionally, rhApoJ-treated mice presented higher number of sma-positive vessels than saline-treated mice (p = 0.038). In rhApoJ-treated mice, human ApoJ was detected in plasma and in occasional leptomeningeal vessels, but not in the parenchyma, suggesting that its mechanism of action operates through the periphery. The administration of rhApoJ induced an increase in plasma Groα (p = 0.035) and MIP-1α (p = 0.035) levels, while lower MMP-12 (p = 0.046) levels, compared to the saline-treated group. In acute lobar ICH patients, MMP-12 plasma levels correlated with larger hemorrhage volume (p = 0.040) and irregular ICH shape (p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS Chronic rhApoJ treatment in aged APP23 mice ameliorated CAA-related neurovascular damage by reducing the occurrence of CMB. We propose that rhApoJ may prevent blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage and CMB appearance partly through circulating MMP-12 modulation.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with subsequent hematoma expansion (HE) linked to worse neurologic outcomes. Accurate, real-time predictions of the risk of HE could enable tailoring management-including blood pressure control or surgery-based on individual patient risk. Although multiple radiographic markers of HE have been proposed based on standard imaging, their clinical utility remains limited by a reliance on subjective interpretation of often ambiguous findings and a poor overall predictive power. Radiomics refers to the quantitative analysis of medical images that can be combined with machine-learning algorithms to identify predictive features for a chosen clinical outcome with a granularity beyond human limitations. Emerging data have supported the potential utility of radiomics in the prediction of HE after sICH. In this review, we discuss the current clinical management of sICH, the impact of HE and standard imaging predictors, and finally, the current data and potential future role of radiomics in HE prediction and management of patients with sICH.

Abstract
Hematoma expansion occasionally occurs in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), associating with poor outcome. Multimodal neural networks incorporating convolutional neural network (CNN) analysis of images and neural network analysis of tabular data are known to show promising results in prediction and classification tasks. We aimed to develop a reliable multimodal neural network model that comprehensively analyzes CT images and clinical variables to predict hematoma expansion. We retrospectively enrolled ICH patients at four hospitals between 2017 and 2021, assigning patients from three hospitals to the training and validation dataset and patients from one hospital to the test dataset. Admission CT images and clinical variables were collected. CT findings were evaluated by experts. Three types of models were developed and trained: (1) a CNN model analyzing CT images, (2) a multimodal CNN model analyzing CT images and clinical variables, and (3) a non-CNN model analyzing CT findings and clinical variables with machine learning. The models were evaluated on the test dataset, focusing first on sensitivity and second on area under the receiver operating curve (AUC). Two hundred seventy-three patients (median age, 71 years [59-79]; 159 men) in the training and validation dataset and 106 patients (median age, 70 years [62-82]; 63 men) in the test dataset were included. Sensitivity and AUC of a CNN model were 1.000 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.768-1.000) and 0.755 (95% CI 0.704-0.807); those of a multimodal CNN model were 1.000 (95% CI 0.768-1.000) and 0.799 (95% CI 0.749-0.849); and those of a non-CNN model were 0.857 (95% CI 0.572-0.982) and 0.733 (95% CI 0.625-0.840). We developed a multimodal neural network model incorporating CNN analysis of CT images and neural network analysis of clinical variables to predict hematoma expansion in ICH. The model was externally validated and showed the best performance of all the models.

BMC Med Imaging 2024; 24:170. [PMID: 38982357 PMCID: PMC11234657 DOI: 10.1186/s12880-024-01352-y] [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: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a novel interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) model that integrates radiomic features, deep learning features, and imaging features at multiple semantic levels to predict the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients at 6 months post-onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospectively enrolled 222 patients with ICH for Non-contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) images and clinical data, who were divided into a training cohort (n = 186, medical center 1) and an external testing cohort (n = 36, medical center 2). Following image preprocessing, the entire hematoma region was segmented by two radiologists as the volume of interest (VOI). Pyradiomics algorithm library was utilized to extract 1762 radiomics features, while a deep convolutional neural network (EfficientnetV2-L) was employed to extract 1000 deep learning features. Additionally, radiologists evaluated imaging features. Based on the three different modalities of features mentioned above, the Random Forest (RF) model was trained, resulting in three models (Radiomics Model, Radiomics-Clinical Model, and DL-Radiomics-Clinical Model). The performance and clinical utility of the models were assessed using the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC), calibration curve, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA), with AUC compared using the DeLong test. Furthermore, this study employs three methods, Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), Grad-CAM, and Guided Grad-CAM, to conduct a multidimensional interpretability analysis of model decisions. RESULTS The Radiomics-Clinical Model and DL-Radiomics-Clinical Model exhibited relatively good predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.86 [95% Confidence Intervals (CI): 0.71, 0.95; P < 0.01] and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.74, 0.97; P < 0.01), respectively, in the external testing cohort. CONCLUSION The multimodal explainable AI model proposed in this study can accurately predict the prognosis of ICH. Interpretability methods such as SHAP, Grad-CAM, and Guided Grad-Cam partially address the interpretability limitations of AI models. Integrating multimodal imaging features can effectively improve the performance of the model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Predicting the prognosis of patients with ICH is a key objective in emergency care. Accurate and efficient prognostic tools can effectively prevent, manage, and monitor adverse events in ICH patients, maximizing treatment outcomes.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and validate an end-to-end model for automatically predicting hematoma expansion (HE) after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) using a novel deep learning framework. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study collected cranial noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) images of 490 patients with sICH at admission for model training (n = 236), internal testing (n = 60), and external testing (n = 194). A HE-Mind model was designed to predict HE, which consists of a densely connected U-net for segmentation process, a multi-instance learning strategy for resolving label ambiguity and a Siamese network for classification process. Two radiomics models based on support vector machine or logistic regression and two deep learning models based on residual network or Swin transformer were developed for performance comparison. Reader experiments including physician diagnosis mode and artificial intelligence mode were conducted for efficiency comparison. RESULTS The HE-Mind model showed better performance compared to the comparative models in predicting HE, with areas under the curve of 0.849 and 0.809 in the internal and external test sets respectively. With the assistance of the HE-Mind model, the predictive accuracy and work efficiency of the emergency physician, junior radiologist, and senior radiologist were significantly improved, with accuracies of 0.768, 0.789, and 0.809 respectively, and reporting times of 7.26 s, 5.08 s, and 3.99 s respectively. CONCLUSIONS The HE-Mind model could rapidly and automatically process the NCCT data and predict HE after sICH within three seconds, indicating its potential to assist physicians in the clinical diagnosis workflow of HE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate an interpretable and highly generalizable multimodal radiomics model for predicting the prognosis of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS This retrospective study involved 237 patients with cerebral hemorrhage from 3 medical centers, of which a training cohort of 186 patients (medical center 1) was selected and 51 patients from medical center 2 and medical center 3 were used as an external testing cohort. A total of 1762 radiomics features were extracted from nonenhanced computed tomography using Pyradiomics, and the relevant macroscopic imaging features and clinical factors were evaluated by 2 experienced radiologists. A radiomics model was established based on radiomics features using the random forest algorithm, and a radiomics-clinical model was further trained by combining radiomics features, clinical factors, and macroscopic imaging features. The performance of the models was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and calibration curves. Additionally, a novel SHAP (SHAPley Additive exPlanations) method was used to provide quantitative interpretability analysis for the optimal model. RESULTS The radiomics-clinical model demonstrated superior predictive performance overall, with an AUC of 0.88 (95% confidence interval, 0.76-0.95; P < 0.01). Compared with the radiomics model (AUC, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.72-0.94; P < 0.01), there was a 0.03 improvement in AUC. Furthermore, SHAP analysis revealed that the fusion features, rad score and clinical rad score, made significant contributions to the model's decision-making process. CONCLUSION Both proposed prognostic models for cerebral hemorrhage demonstrated high predictive levels, and the addition of macroscopic imaging features effectively improved the prognostic ability of the radiomics-clinical model. The radiomics-clinical model provides a higher level of predictive performance and model decision-making basis for the risk prognosis of cerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To methodically analyse the swirl sign and construct a scoring system to predict the risk of hematoma expansion (HE) after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH). METHODS We analysed 231 of 683 sICH patients with swirl signs on baseline noncontrast CT (NCCT) images. The characteristics of the swirl sign were analysed, including the number, maximum diameter, shape, boundary, minimum CT value of the swirl sign, and the minimum distance from the swirl sign to the edge of the hematoma. In the development cohort, univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify independent predictors of HE, and logistic regression analysis was used to construct the swirl sign score system. The swirl sign score system was verified in the validation cohort. RESULTS The number and the minimum CT value of the swirl sign were independent predictors of HE. The swirl sign score system was constructed (2 points for the number of swirl signs >1 and 1 point for the minimum CT value ≤41 Hounsfield units). The area under the curve of the swirl sign score system in predicting HE was 0.773 and 0.770 in the development and validation groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The swirl sign score system is an easy-to-use radiological grading scale that requires only baseline NCCT images to effectively identify subjects at high risk of HE. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Our newly developed semiquantitative swirl sign score system greatly improves the ability of swirl sign to predict HE.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early identification of hematoma enlargement and persistent hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with cerebral hemorrhage is increasingly crucial for determining clinical treatments. However, due to the lack of clinically effective tools, radiomics has been gradually introduced into the early identification of hematoma enlargement. Though, radiomics has limited predictive accuracy due to variations in procedures. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the value of radiomics in the early detection of HE in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Eligible studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science from inception to April 8, 2024. English articles are considered eligible. The radiomics quality scoring (RQS) tool was used to evaluate included studies. RESULTS A total of 34 studies were identified with sample sizes ranging from 108 to 3016. Eleven types of models were involved, and the types of modeling contained mainly clinical, radiomic, and radiomic plus clinical features. The radiomics models seem to have better performance (0.77 and 0.73 C-index in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively) than the clinical models (0.69 C-index in the training cohort and 0.70 C-index in the validation cohort) in discriminating HE. However, the C-index was the highest for the combined model in both the training (0.82) and validation (0.79) cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning based on radiomic plus clinical features has the best predictive performance for HE, followed by machine learning based on radiomic features, and can be used as a potential tool to assist clinicians in early judgment.

Abstract
Hematoma expansion (HE) is an important risk factor for death or poor prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Accurately predicting the risk of HE in patients with HICH is of great clinical significance for timely intervention and improving patient prognosis. Many imaging signs reported in literatures showed the important clinical value for predicting HE. In recent years, the development of radiomics and artificial intelligence has provided new methods for HE prediction with high accuracy. Therefore, this article reviews the latest research progress in CT imaging, radiomics, and artificial intelligence of HE, in order to help identify high-risk patients for HE in clinical practice.

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.

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

Abstract
Background and purpose This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of radiomics, based on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, in predicting early hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). Additionally, the predictive performance of these models was compared with that of the established CTA spot sign. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using CT images from 182 patients with SICH. Data from the patients were divided into a training set (145 cases) and a testing set (37 cases) using random stratified sampling. Two radiomics models were constructed by combining quantitative features extracted from NCCT images (the NCCT model) and CTA images (the CTA model) using a logistic regression (LR) classifier. Additionally, a univariate LR model based on the CTA spot sign (the spot sign model) was established. The predictive performance of the two radiomics models and the spot sign model was compared according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Results For the training set, the AUCs of the NCCT, CTA, and spot sign models were 0.938, 0.904, and 0.726, respectively. Both the NCCT and CTA models demonstrated superior predictive performance compared to the spot sign model (all P < 0.001), with the performance of the two radiomics models being comparable (P = 0.068). For the testing set, the AUCs of the NCCT, CTA, and spot sign models were 0.925, 0.873, and 0.720, respectively, with only the NCCT model exhibiting significantly greater predictive value than the spot sign model (P = 0.041). Conclusion Radiomics models based on NCCT and CTA images effectively predicted HE in patients with SICH. The predictive performances of the NCCT and CTA models were similar, with the NCCT model outperforming the spot sign model. These findings suggest that this approach has the potential to reduce the need for CTA examinations, thereby reducing radiation exposure and the use of contrast agents in future practice for the purpose of predicting hematoma expansion.

Association of non-contrast CT markers with long-term functional outcome in deep intracerebral hemorrhage. Front Neurol 2024; 14:1268839. [PMID: 38274884 PMCID: PMC10810138 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1268839] [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: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Hematoma expansion (HE) is the most important therapeutic target during acute care of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Imaging biomarkers such as non-contrast CT (NCCT) markers have been associated with increasing risk for HE. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of NCCT markers with functional long-term outcome and with HE in patients with deep (basal ganglia and thalamus) ICH who represent an important subgroup of patients at the highest risk for functional deterioration with HE due to the eloquence of the affected brain region. Methods From our prospective institutional database, all patients maximally treated with deep ICH were included and retrospectively analyzed. NCCT markers were recorded at diagnostic imaging, ICH volume characteristics were volumetrically evaluated, and all patients received follow-up imaging within 0-48 h. We explored associations of NCCT makers with unfavorable functional outcome, defined as modified Rankin scale 4-6, after 12 months and with HE. Bias and confounding were addressed by multivariable regression modeling. Results In 322 patients with deep ICH, NCCT markers were distributed as follows: irregular shape: 69.6%, heterogenous density: 55.9%, hypodensities: 52.5%, island sign: 19.3%, black hole sign: 11.5%, and blend sign: 4.7%. Upon multivariable regression analyses, independent associations were documented with the functional outcome for irregular shape (aOR: 2.73, 95%CI: 1.42-5.22, p = 0.002), heterogenous density (aOR: 2.62, 95%CI: 1.40-4.90, p = 0.003) and island sign (aOR: 2.54, 95%CI: 1.05-6.14, p = 0.038), and with HE for heterogenous density (aOR: 5.01, 95%CI: 1.93-13.05, p = 0.001) and hypodensities (aOR: 3.75, 95%CI: 1.63-8.62, p = 0.002). Conclusion NCCT markers are frequent in deep ICH patients and provide important clinical implications. Specifically, markers defined by diverging intra-hematomal densities provided associations with a 5-times higher risk for HE and a 2.5-times higher likelihood for unfavorable functional long-term outcome. Hence, these markers allow the identification of patients with deep ICH at high risk for clinical deterioration due to HE.

Arachidonic acid level is related to early motor recovery following intracerebral hemorrhage with severe motor paralysis. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2024; 200:102603. [PMID: 38147805 DOI: 10.1016/j.plefa.2023.102603] [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: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low arachidonic acid (AA) levels are reportedly associated with unfavorable outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). OBJECTIVE We aimed to clarify whether serum AA levels might be associated with a good recovery from severe motor paralysis in the early stage of hospitalization. METHODS From among consecutive ICH patients between October 2012 and December 2021, patients with a sum of upper and lower extremity National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores of 4-8 at admission (severe motor paralysis) were included. We defined good early recovery from severe motor paralysis as a sum of upper and lower extremity NIHSS scores of 0-3 on day 7 after admission, and that of individual upper and lower extremities as NIHSS scores of 0-1 on day 7 after admission. We aimed to assess whether serum AA levels might be associated with good early recovery from severe motor paralysis. RESULTS We screened 377 consecutive ICH patients, including 140 with severe motor paralysis (88 (63%) males, median age 64 years). Recovery from severe motor paralysis was seen in 48 (34%). Higher AA levels (PR 1.243, 95% CI 1.042 to 1.483, p = 0.016) were independently associated with good overall recovery, and good recovery of upper and lower extremities separately (upper extremity: PR 1.319, 95% CI 1.101 to 1.580, p = 0.003; lower extremity: PR 1.293, 95% CI 1.115 to 1.499, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Higher AA levels may contribute to a good early motor recovery in patients with severe motor paralysis due to ICH.

Abstract
Studies regarding hematoma stiffness and removal difficulty are scarce. This study explored the association between hematoma stiffness and surgical results of endoscopic hematoma removal for intracerebral hemorrhage. It also aimed to clarify factors associated with hematoma stiffness. We classified intracerebral hematoma as either soft or firm stiffness by retrospectively evaluating operative videos by two neurosurgeons. The interobserver reliability of the classification was assessed by calculating the κ values. We investigated the relationship between hematoma stiffness and surgical results. Favorable hematoma removal (FHR) was defined as a residual hematoma volume of ≤15 mL or removal rate of ≥70%. Furthermore, we compared the background characteristics, imaging findings, and laboratory data between the two groups. Forty patients were included in this study. The mean baseline hematoma volume was 69.9 mL (range, 41.3-97.6 mL). FHR was accomplished in 35 cases (87.5%). Thirty-four patients (85%) were in the soft hematoma group (group S). Six patients (15%) were in the firm hematoma group (group F). Classification of hematoma stiffness demonstrated an excellent degree of interobserver agreement (κ score = 0.91). Patients in group S had a high FHR rate (p = 0.018) and short endoscopic procedure times (p = 0.00034). The island sign was present in group S (p = 0.030). Patients in group F had significantly high fibrinogen levels (p = 0.049) and low serum total calcium (p = 0.032), hemoglobin (p = 0.041), and hematocrit (p = 0.011) levels. Hematoma stiffness during endoscopic surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage correlates with surgical results, including the endoscopic procedure time and accomplishing rate of FHR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rapid identification of hematoma expansion (HE) risk at baseline is a priority in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and may impact clinical decision making. Predictive scores using clinical features and Non-Contract Computed Tomography (NCCT)-based features exist, however, the extent to which each feature set contributes to identification is limited. This paper aims to investigate the relative value of clinical, radiological, and radiomics features in HE prediction. METHODS Original data was retrospectively obtained from three major prospective clinical trials ["Spot Sign" Selection of Intracerebral Hemorrhage to Guide Hemostatic Therapy (SPOTLIGHT)NCT01359202; The Spot Sign for Predicting and Treating ICH Growth Study (STOP-IT)NCT00810888] Patients baseline and follow-up scans following ICH were included. Clinical, NCCT radiological, and radiomics features were extracted, and multivariate modeling was conducted on each feature set. RESULTS 317 patients from 38 sites met inclusion criteria. Warfarin use (p=0.001) and GCS score (p=0.046) were significant clinical predictors of HE. The best performing model for HE prediction included clinical, radiological, and radiomic features with an area under the curve (AUC) of 87.7%. NCCT radiological features improved upon clinical benchmark model AUC by 6.5% and a clinical & radiomic combination model by 6.4%. Addition of radiomics features improved goodness of fit of both clinical (p=0.012) and clinical & NCCT radiological (p=0.007) models, with marginal improvements on AUC. Inclusion of NCCT radiological signs was best for ruling out HE whereas the radiomic features were best for ruling in HE. CONCLUSION NCCT-based radiological and radiomics features can improve HE prediction when added to clinical features.

Non-contrast computed tomography features predict intraventricular hemorrhage growth. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:7807-7817.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers are robust predictors of parenchymal hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated whether NCCT features can also identify ICH patients at risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth. METHODS Patients with acute spontaneous ICH admitted at four tertiary centers in Germany and Italy were retrospectively included from January 2017 to June 2020. NCCT markers were rated by two investigators for heterogeneous density, hypodensity, black hole sign, swirl sign, blend sign, fluid level, island sign, satellite sign, and irregular shape. ICH and IVH volumes were semi-manually segmented. IVH growth was defined as IVH expansion > 1 mL (eIVH) or any delayed IVH (dIVH) on follow-up imaging. Predictors of eIVH and dIVH were explored with multivariable logistic regression. Hypothesized moderators and mediators were independently assessed in PROCESS macro models. RESULTS A total of 731 patients were included, of whom 185 (25.31%) suffered from IVH growth, 130 (17.78%) had eIVH, and 55 (7.52%) had dIVH. Irregular shape was significantly associated with IVH growth (OR 1.68; 95%CI [1.16-2.44]; p = 0.006). In the subgroup analysis stratified by the IVH growth type, hypodensities were significantly associated with eIVH (OR 2.06; 95%CI [1.48-2.64]; p = 0.015), whereas irregular shape (OR 2.72; 95%CI [1.91-3.53]; p = 0.016) in dIVH. The association between NCCT markers and IVH growth was not mediated by parenchymal hematoma expansion. CONCLUSIONS NCCT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of IVH growth. Our findings suggest the possibility to stratify the risk of IVH growth with baseline NCCT and might inform ongoing and future studies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Non-contrast CT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of intraventricular hemorrhage growth with subtype-specific differences. Our findings may assist in the risk stratification of intraventricular hemorrhage growth with baseline CT and might inform ongoing and future clinical studies. KEY POINTS • NCCT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of IVH growth with subtype-specific differences. • The effect of NCCT features was not moderated by time and location or indirectly mediated by hematoma expansion. • Our findings may assist in the risk stratification of IVH growth with baseline NCCT and might inform ongoing and future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haematoma expansion (HE) is a frequent manifestation of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and is associated with early disease progression and poor functional status. Approximately 30 % of patients with ICH experience substantial HE within the first few hours of onset. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the relationship between HE and initial volume at different locations in patients with ICH. METHODS We investigated consecutive patients with ICH admitted to the emergency room at Xiangyang No. 1 People's Hospital between January 2018 and June 2022. Haematoma volume was calculated using a three-dimensional slicer platform. Prediction models were assessed using a logistic regression model. The Youden index was used to assess the haematoma volume cut-off values for predicting HE. RESULTS This study included 306 patients: 161 had basal ganglia ICH, 41 lobar ICH, and 104 thalamic ICH. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the thalamic ICH score in predicting intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) expansion ≥ 1 mL or delayed IVH expansion was 0.786, and the best cut-off value was 7.05 mL (specificity, 85.3 %; sensitivity, 62.8 %; and accuracy, 76.0 %). The AUC for the thalamic ICH and lobar ICH scores in predicting haematoma or IVH expansion were 0.756 and 0.653, respectively; the best cut-offs were 7.05 mL for the thalamus (specificity, 84.8 %; sensitivity, 60.0 %; and accuracy, 74.0 %) and 31.89 mL in the lobar area (specificity, 81.8 %; sensitivity, 52.3 %; and accuracy, 68.3 %). CONCLUSIONS Initial ICH volume predicted haematoma or IVH expansion at different locations. Moreover, it can assist clinicians in determining whether patients are suitable for future surgical interventions or other procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognosis following a hemorrhagic stroke is usually extremely poor. Rating scales have been developed to predict the outcomes of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). To date, however, the prognostic prediction models have not included the full range of relevant imaging features. We constructed a clinic-imaging fusion model based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) to predict the short-term prognosis of ICH patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multi-center retrospective study, which included 1990 patients with ICH. Two CNN-based deep learning models were constructed to predict the neurofunctional outcomes at discharge; these were validated using a nested 5-fold cross-validation approach. The models' predictive efficiency was compared with the original ICH scale and the ICH grading scale. Poor neurological outcome was defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score of 1-3. RESULTS The training and test sets included 1599 and 391 patients, respectively. For the test set, the clinic-imaging fusion model had the highest area under the curve (AUC = 0.903), followed by the imaging-based model (AUC = 0.886), the ICH scale (AUC = 0.777), and finally the ICH grading scale (AUC = 0.747). CONCLUSION The CNN prognostic prediction model based on neuroimaging features was more effective than the ICH scales in predicting the neurological outcomes of ICH patients at discharge. The CNN model's predictive efficiency slightly improved when clinical data were included.

Perihematomal edema-based CT-radiomics model to predict functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Diagn Interv Imaging 2023; 104:391-400. [PMID: 37179244 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2023.04.008] [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: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify possible association between noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based radiomics features of perihematomal edema (PHE) and poor functional outcome at 90 days after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and to develop a NCCT-based radiomics-clinical nomogram to predict 90-day functional outcomes in patients with ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study, 107 radiomics features were extracted from 1098 NCCT examinations obtained in 1098 patients with ICH. There were 652 men and 446 women with a mean age of 60 ± 12 (SD) years (range: 23-95 years). After harmonized and univariable and multivariable screening, seven of these radiomics features were closely associated with the 90-day functional outcome of patients with ICH. The radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated based on the seven radiomics features. A clinical-radiomics nomogram was developed and validated in three cohorts. The model performance was evaluated using area under the curve analysis and decision and calibration curves. RESULTS Of the 1098 patients with ICH, 395 had a good outcome at 90 days. Hematoma hypodensity sign and intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhages were identified as risk factors for poor outcomes (P < 0.001). Age, Glasgow coma scale score, and Rad-score were independently associated with outcome. The clinical-radiomics nomogram showed good predictive performance with AUCs of 0.882 (95% CI: 0.859-0.905), 0.834 (95% CI: 0.776-0.891) and 0.905 (95% CI: 0.839-0.970) in the three cohorts and clinical applicability. CONCLUSION NCCT-based radiomics features from PHE are highly correlated with outcome. When combined with Rad-score, radiomics features from PHE can improve the predictive performance for 90-day poor outcome in patients with ICH.

Derivation and validation of three intracerebral hemorrhage expansion scores using different CT modalities. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:6045-6053. [PMID: 37059906 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09621-0] [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: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To derivate and validate three scores for the prediction of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion depending on the use of non-contrast CT (NCCT), single-phase CTA, or multiphase CTA markers of hematoma expansion, and to evaluate the added value of single-phase and multiphase CTA over NCCT. METHODS After prospectively deriving NCCT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA hematoma expansion scores in 156 patients with ICH < 6 h, we validated them in 120 different patients. Discrimination and calibration of the three scores was assessed. Primary outcome was substantial hematoma expansion > 6 mL or > 33% at 24 h. RESULTS The evaluation of single-phase and multiphase CTA markers gave a steadily increase in discrimination for substantial hematoma expansion over NCCT markers. The C-index (95% confidence interval) in derivation and validation cohorts was 0.69 (0.58-0.80) and 0.59 (0.46-0.72) for NCCT score, significantly lower than 0.75 ([0.64-0.87], p = 0.038) and 0.72 ([0.59-0.84], p = 0.016) for single-phase CTA score, and than 0.79 ([0.68-0.89], p = 0.033) and 0.73 ([0.62-0.85], p = 0.031) for multiphase CTA score, respectively. The three scores showed good calibration in both derivation and validation cohorts: NCCT (χ2 statistic 0.389, p = 0.533; and χ2 statistic 0.352, p = 0.553), single-phase CTA (χ2 statistic 2.052, p = 0.359; and χ2 statistic 2.230, p = 0.328), and multiphase CTA (χ2 statistic 0.559, p = 0.455; and χ2 statistic 0.020, p = 0.887) scores, respectively. CONCLUSION This study shows the added prognostic value of more advanced CT modalities in acute ICH evaluation. NCCT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA scores may help to refine the selection of patients at risk of expansion in different decision-making scenarios. KEY POINTS • This study shows the added prognostic value of more advanced CT modalities in acute intracerebral hemorrhage evaluation. • The evaluation of single-phase and multiphase CTA markers provides a steadily increase in discrimination for intracerebral hemorrhage expansion over non-contrast CT markers. • Non-contrast CT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA scores may help clinicians and researchers to refine the selection of patients at risk of intracerebral hemorrhage expansion in different decision-making scenarios.

Abstract
Background Hematoma enlargement (HE) is a common complication following acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is associated with early deterioration and unfavorable clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of a computed tomography (CT) based model that utilizes deep learning features in identifying HE. Methods A total of 408 patients were retrospectively enrolled between January 2015 and December 2020 from our institution. We designed an automatic model that could mask the hematoma area and fusion features of radiomics, clinical data, and convolutional neural network (CNN) in a hybrid model. We assessed the model's performance by using confusion matrix metrics (CM), the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), and other statistical indicators. Results After automated masking, 408 patients were randomly divided into two cohorts with 204 patients in the training set and 204 patients in the validation set. The first cohort trained the CNN model, from which we then extracted radiomics, clinical data, and CNN features for the second validation cohort. After feature selection by K-highest score, a support vector machines (SVM) model classification was used to predict HE. Our hybrid model exhibited a high AUC of 0.949, and 0.95 of precision, 0.83 of recall, and 0.94 of average precision (AP). The CM found that only 5 cases were misidentified by the model. Conclusion The automatic hybrid model we developed is an end-to-end method and can assist in clinical decision-making, thereby facilitating personalized treatment for patients with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early identification of the etiology of spontaneous acute intracerebral hemorrhage is essential for appropriate management. This study aimed to develop an imaging model to identify cavernoma-related hematomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients 1-55 years of age with acute (≤7 days) spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included. Two neuroradiologists reviewed CT and MR imaging data and assessed the characteristics of hematomas, including their shape (spherical/ovoid or not), their regular or irregular margins, and associated abnormalities including extralesional hemorrhage and peripheral rim enhancement. Imaging findings were correlated with etiology. The study population was randomly split to provide a training sample (50%) and a validation sample (50%). From the training sample, univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors predictive of cavernomas, and a decision tree was built. Its performance was assessed using the validation sample. RESULTS Four hundred seventy-eight patients were included, of whom 85 had hemorrhagic cavernomas. In multivariate analysis, cavernoma-related hematomas were associated with spherical/ovoid shape (P < .001), regular margins (P = .009), absence of extralesional hemorrhage (P = .01), and absence of peripheral rim enhancement (P = .002). These criteria were included in the decision tree model. The validation sample (n = 239) had the following performance: diagnostic accuracy of 96.1% (95% CI, 92.2%-98.4%), sensitivity of 97.95% (95% CI, 95.8%-98.9%), specificity of 89.5% (95% CI, 75.2%-97.0%), positive predictive value of 97.7% (95% CI, 94.3%-99.1%), and negative predictive value of 94.4% (95% CI, 81.0%-98.5%). CONCLUSIONS An imaging model including ovoid/spherical shape, regular margins, absence of extralesional hemorrhage, and absence of peripheral rim enhancement accurately identifies cavernoma-related acute spontaneous cerebral hematomas in young patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) imaging markers are associated with early perihematomal edema (PHE) growth. The aim of this study was to compare the predictive value of different NCCT markers in predicting early PHE expansion. METHODS ICH patients who underwent baseline CT scan within 6 h of symptoms onset and follow-up CT scan within 36 h between July 2011 and March 2017 were included in this study. The predictive value of hypodensity, satellite sign, heterogeneous density, irregular shape, blend sign, black hole sign, island sign and expansion-prone hematoma for early perihematomal edema expansion were assessed, separately. RESULTS 214 patients were included in our final analysis. After adjusting for ICH characteristics, hypodensity, blend sign, island sign and expansion-prone hematoma are still predictors of early perihematomal edema expansion in multivariable logistics regression analysis (all P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of expansion-prone hematoma was significantly larger than the area under the ROC curve of hypodensity, blend sign and island sign in predicting PHE expansion (P = 0.003, P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION Compared with single NCCT imaging markers, expansion-prone hematoma seems to be optimal predictor for early PHE expansion than any single NCCT imaging marker.

Abstract
Introduction Stroke is a major global health concern and is ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide, with the third highest incidence of disability. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke that is responsible for a significant proportion of stroke-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in up to one-third of ICH patients, is a strong predictor of poor prognosis and can be potentially preventable if high-risk patients are identified early. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of previous research in this area and highlight the potential use of imaging markers for future research studies. Recent advances Imaging markers have been developed in recent years to aid in the early detection of HE and guide clinical decision-making. These markers have been found to be effective in predicting HE in ICH patients and include specific manifestations on Computed Tomography (CT) and CT Angiography (CTA), such as the spot sign, leakage sign, spot-tail sign, island sign, satellite sign, iodine sign, blend sign, swirl sign, black hole sign, and hypodensities. The use of imaging markers holds great promise for improving the management and outcomes of ICH patients. Conclusion The management of ICH presents a significant challenge, and identifying high-risk patients for HE is crucial to improving outcomes. The use of imaging markers for HE prediction can aid in the rapid identification of such patients and may serve as potential targets for anti-HE therapies in the acute phase of ICH. Therefore, further research is needed to establish the reliability and validity of these markers in identifying high-risk patients and guiding appropriate treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematoma expansion (HE) is a significant predictor of poor outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers in ICH are promising predictors of HE. We aimed to determine the association of the NCCT markers with HE by using different temporal HE definitions. METHODS We utilized Risa-MIS-ICH trial data (risk stratification and minimally invasive surgery in acute intracerebral hemorrhage). We defined four HE types based on the time to baseline CT (BCT) and the time to follow-up CT (FCT). Hematoma volume was measured by software with a semi-automatic edge detection tool. HE was defined as a follow-up CT hematoma volume increase of >6 mL or a 33% hematoma volume increase relative to the baseline CT. Multivariable regression analyses were used to determine the HE parameters. The prediction potential of indicators for HE was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The study enrolled 158 patients in total. The time to baseline CT was independently associated with HE in one type (odds ratio (OR) 0.234, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.077-0.712, p = 0.011), and the blend sign was independently associated with HE in two types (OR, 6.203-6.985, both p < 0.05). Heterogeneous density was independently associated with HE in all types (OR, 6.465-88.445, all p < 0.05) and was the optimal type for prediction, with an area under the curve of 0.674 (p = 0.004), a sensitivity of 38.9%, and specificity of 96.0%. CONCLUSION In specific subtypes, the time to baseline CT, blend sign, and heterogeneous density were independently associated with HE. The association between NCCT markers and HE is influenced by the temporal definition of HE. Heterogeneous density is a stable and robust predictor of HE in different subtypes of hematoma expansion.

Abstract
Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high mortality and long-term morbidity and thus has a significant overall health–economic impact. Outcomes are especially poor if the exact onset is unknown, but reliable imaging-based methods for onset estimation have not been established. We hypothesized that onset prediction of patients with ICH using artificial intelligence (AI) may be more accurate than human readers. Material and Methods: A total of 7421 computed tomography (CT) datasets between January 2007–July 2021 from the University Hospital Basel with confirmed ICH were extracted and an ICH-segmentation algorithm as well as two classifiers (one with radiomics, one with convolutional neural networks) for onset estimation were trained. The classifiers were trained based on the gold standard of 644 datasets with a known onset of >1 and <48 h. The results of the classifiers were compared to the ratings of two radiologists. Results: Both the AI-based classifiers and the radiologists had poor discrimination of the known onsets, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 9.77 h (95% CI (confidence interval) = 8.52–11.03) for the convolutional neural network (CNN), 9.96 h (8.68–11.32) for the radiomics model, 13.38 h (11.21–15.74) for rater 1 and 11.21 h (9.61–12.90) for rater 2, respectively. The results of the CNN and radiomics model were both not significantly different to the mean of the known onsets (p = 0.705 and p = 0.423). Conclusions: In our study, the discriminatory power of AI-based classifiers and human readers for onset estimation of patients with ICH was poor. This indicates that accurate AI-based onset estimation of patients with ICH based only on CT-data may be unlikely to change clinical decision making in the near future. Perhaps multimodal AI-based approaches could improve ICH onset prediction and should be considered in future studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Hematoma expansion (HE) is the most important modifiable predictor that can change the clinical outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The study aimed to investigate the potential of satellite sign for prediction of HE in spontaneous ICH patients who had follow-up non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) within 7 days after the initial CT scan.
Methods We retrospectively reviewed data and NCCT from 142 ICH patients who were treated at our hospital at Bangkok, Thailand. All included patients were treated conservatively, had baseline NCCT within 12 hours after symptom onset, and had follow-up NCCT within 168 hours after baseline NCCT. HE was initially estimated by two radiologists, and then by image analysis software. Association between satellite sign and HE was evaluated.
Results HE occurred in 45 patients (31.7%). Patients with HE had significantly higher activated partial thromboplastin time (p = 0.001) and baseline hematoma volume (p = 0.001). The prevalence of satellite sign was 43.7%, and it was significantly independently associated with HE (p = 0.021). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of satellite sign for predicting HE was 57.8, 62.9, and 61.3%, respectively. From image analysis software, the cutoff of greater than 9% relative growth in hematoma volume on follow-up NCCT had the highest association with satellite sign (p = 0.024), with a sensitivity of 55%, specificity of 64.6%, and accuracy of 60.5%.
Conclusion Satellite sign, a new NCCT predictor, was found to be significantly associated with HE in Thai population. With different context of Thai population, HE was found in smaller baseline hematoma volume. Satellite sign was found more common in lobar hematoma. Further studies to validate satellite sign for predicting HE and to identify an optimal cutoff in Thai population that is correlated with clinical outcomes are warranted.

Abstract
BackgroundFor patients of primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBH), it is crucial to find a method that can quickly and accurately predict the correlation between status of consciousness and PBH.ObjectiveTo analyze the value of computer tomography (CT) signs in combination with artificial intelligence (AI) technique in predicting the correlation between status of consciousness and PBH.MethodsA total of 120 patients with PBH were enrolled from August 2011 to March 2021 according to the criteria. Patients were divided into three groups [consciousness, minimally conscious state (MCS) and coma] based on the status of consciousness. Then, first, Mann–Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation test were used on the factors: gender, age, stages of intracerebral hemorrhage, CT signs with AI or radiology physicians, hemorrhage involving the midbrain or ventricular system. We collected hemorrhage volumes and mean CT values with AI. Second, those significant factors were screened out by the Mann–Whitney U test and those highly or moderately correlated by Spearman’s rank correlation test, and a further ordinal multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to find independent predictors of the status of consciousness. At last, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to calculate the hemorrhage volume for predictively assessing the status of consciousness.ResultsPreliminary meaningful variables include hemorrhage involving the midbrain or ventricular system, hemorrhage volume, grade of hematoma shape and density, and CT value from Mann–Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation test. It is further shown by ordinal multinomial logistic regression analysis that hemorrhage volume and hemorrhage involving the ventricular system are two major predictors of the status of consciousness. It showed from ROC that the hemorrhage volumes of <3.040 mL, 3.040 ~ 6.225 mL and >6.225 mL correspond to consciousness, MCS or coma, respectively. If the hemorrhage volume is the same, hemorrhage involving the ventricular system should be correlated with more severe disorders of consciousness (DOC).ConclusionCT signs combined with AI can predict the correlation between status of consciousness and PBH. Hemorrhage volume and hemorrhage involving the ventricular system are two independent factors, with hemorrhage volume in particular reaching quantitative predictions.

Difference of mean Hounsfield units (dHU) between follow-up and initial noncontrast CT scan predicts 90-day poor outcome in spontaneous supratentorial acute intracerebral hemorrhage with deep convolutional neural networks. Neuroimage Clin 2023; 38:103378. [PMID: 36931003 PMCID: PMC10036865 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2023.103378] [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: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of a new non-contrast CT scan (NCCT) sign called the dHU, which represented the difference in mean Hounsfield unit values between follow-up and the initial NCCT for predicting 90-day poor functional outcomes in acute supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(sICH) using deep convolutional neural networks. METHODS A total of 377 consecutive patients with sICH from center 1 and 91 patients from center 2 (external validation set) were included. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the critical value of dHU for predicting poor outcome at 90 days. Modified Rankin score (mRS) >3 or >2 was defined as the primary and secondary poor outcome, respectively. Two multivariate models were developed to test whether dHU was an independent predictor of the two unfavorable functional outcomes. RESULTS The ROC analysis showed that a dHU >2.5 was a critical value to predict the poor outcomes (mRS >3) in sICH. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of dHU >2.5 for poor outcome prediction were 37.5%, 86.0%, and 70.6%, respectively. In multivariate models developed after adjusting for all elements of the ICH score and hematoma expansion, dHU >2.5 was an independent predictor of both primary and secondary poor outcomes (OR = 2.61, 95% CI [1.32,5.13], P = 0.006; OR = 2.63, 95% CI [1.36,5.10], P = 0.004, respectively). After adjustment for all possible significant predictors (p < 0.05) by univariate analysis, dHU >2.5 had a positive association with primary and secondary poor outcomes (OR = 3.25, 95% CI [1.52,6.98], P = 0.002; OR = 3.42, 95% CI [1.64,7.15], P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The dHU of hematoma based on serial CT scans is independently associated with poor outcomes after acute sICH, which may help predict clinical evolution and guide therapy for sICH patients.

Abstract
Stratification of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) patients without cerebral herniation at admission, to determine the subgroups may be suffered from poor outcomes or benefit from surgery, is important for following treatment decision. The aim of this study was to establish and verify a de novo nomogram predictive model for long-term survival in sICH patients without cerebral herniation at admission. This study recruited sICH patients from our prospectively maintained ICH patient database (RIS-MIS-ICH, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03862729) between January 2015 and October 2019. All eligible patients were randomly classified into a training cohort and a validation cohort according to the ratio of 7:3. The baseline variables and long-term survival outcomes were collected. And the long-term survival information of all the enrolled sICH patients, including the occurrence of death and overall survival. Follow-up time was defined as the time from the onset to death of the patient or the last clinical visit. The nomogram predictive model was established based on the independent risk factors at admission for long-term survival after hemorrhage. The concordance index (C-index) and ROC curve were used to evaluate the accuracy of the predictive model. Discrimination and calibration were used to validate the nomogram in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. A total of 692 eligible sICH patients were enrolled. During the average follow-up time of 41.77 ± 0.85 months, a total of 178 (25.7%) patients died. The Cox Proportional Hazard Models showed that age (HR 1.055, 95% CI 1.038-1.071, P < 0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission (HR 2.496, 95% CI 2.014-3.093, P < 0.001) and hydrocephalus caused by intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (HR 1.955, 95% CI 1.362-2.806, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors. The C index of the admission model was 0.76 and 0.78 in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively. In the ROC analysis, the AUC was 0.80 (95% CI 0.75-0.85) in the training cohort and was 0.80 (95% CI 0.72-0.88) in the validation cohort. SICH patients with admission nomogram scores greater than 87.75 were at high risk of short survival time. For sICH patients without cerebral herniation at admission, our de novo nomogram model based on age, GCS and hydrocephalus on CT may be useful to stratify the long-term survival outcomes and provide suggestions for treatment decision-making.

Abstract
Haematoma expansion affects a fifth of patients within 24 h of the onset of acute intracerebral haemorrhage and is associated with death and disability, which makes it an appealing therapeutic target. The time in which active intervention can be done is short as expansion occurs mostly within the first 3 h after onset. Baseline haemorrhage volume, antithrombotic treatment, and CT angiography spot signs are each associated with increased risk of haematoma expansion. Non-contrast CT features are promising predictors of haematoma expansion, but their potential contribution to current models is under investigation. Blood pressure lowering and haemostatic treatment minimise haematoma expansion but have not led to improved functional outcomes in randomised clinical trials. Ultra-early enrolment and selection of participants on the basis of non-contrast CT imaging markers could focus future clinical trials to show clinical benefit in people at high risk of expansion or investigate heterogeneity of treatment effects in clinical trials with broad inclusion criteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of old lacunes and their sites on the prognosis of one-sided supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by classifying lacunes sites in relation to anatomical structures using MRI. METHODS Consecutive patients with one-sided supratentorial ICH ≤72 h from onset to door who underwent MRI were retrospectively included. The sites of old lacunes were categorized as follows: deep subcortical white matter, caudate head, lentiform, posterior limb and genu of the internal capsule, thalamus, and brainstem. We also evaluated all other cerebral small vessel disease markers. An unfavorable outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3 to 6 at 3 months after onset. We investigated whether old lacunes in particular locations were related to unfavorable outcomes. RESULTS We included 186 patients with one-sided supratentorial ICH (126 [68%] males, median age 62 years). Of 186 patients, 65 (35%) patients had unfavorable outcomes. Factors associated with unfavorable outcomes were age (OR 2.261, 95% CI 1.332-3.839, p = 0.003), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score at admission (OR 1.175, 95% CI 1.090-1.267, p < 0.001), and old thalamic lacunes contralateral to the hematoma (OR 3.805, 95% CI 1.009-14.340, p = 0.048). Patients with old thalamic lacunes contralateral to the hematoma tended to have arm (p = 0.006) and leg (p = 0.011) motor impairment on the paralyzed side at discharge as estimated by the NIHSS score. CONCLUSIONS Old thalamic lacunes contralateral to the hematoma may be related to unfavorable outcomes in ICH.

The "SALPARE study" of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage-part 2-early CT predictors of outcome in ICH: keeping it simple. Neurol Res Pract 2023; 5:2. [PMID: 36631839 PMCID: PMC9835380 DOI: 10.1186/s42466-022-00228-2] [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: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of hematoma characteristics and hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study enrolled consecutive adult patients with non-traumatic ICH admitted to three Italian academic hospitals (Salerno, Padova, Reggio Emilia) over a 2-year period. Early noncontrast CT (NCCT) features of the hematoma, including markers of HE, and 3-month outcome were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of poor outcome. RESULTS A total of 682 patients were included in the study [mean age: 73 ± 14 years; 316 (46.3%) females]. Pontine and massive hemorrhage, intraventricular bleeding, baseline hematoma volume > 15 mL, blend sign, swirl sign, margin irregularity ≥ 4, density heterogeneity ≥ 3, hypodensity ≥ 1, island sign, satellite sign, and black hole sign were associated with a higher risk of mortality and disability. However, at multivariate analysis only initial hematoma volume (OR 29.71) proved to be an independent predictor of poor functional outcome at 3 months. CONCLUSION Simple hematoma volume measured on baseline CT best identifies patients with a worse outcome, while early NCCT markers of HE do not seem to add any clinically significant information.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hematoma volume is the strongest predictor of patient outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The aim of this study was to validate novel fully automated software for quantification of ICH volume on non-contrast computed tomography (CT). METHODS The population was defined from the Swedish Stroke Register (RS) and included all patients with an ICH diagnosis during 2016-2019 in Region Skåne. Hemorrhage volume on their initial head CT was measured using ABC/2 and manual segmentation (Sectra IDS7 volume measurement tool) and the automated volume quantification tool (qER-NCCT) by Qure.ai. The first 500 were examined by two independent readers. RESULTS A total of 1649 ICH patients were included. The qER-NCCT had 97% sensitivity in identifying ICH. In total, there was excellent agreement between volumetric measurements of ICH volumes by qER-NCCT and manual segmentation by interclass correlation (ICC = 0.96), and good agreement (ICC = 0.86) between qER-NCCT and ABC/2 method. The qER-NCCT showed volume underestimation, mainly in large (> 30 ml) heterogenous hemorrhages. Interrater agreement by (ICC) was 0.996 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00) for manual segmentation. CONCLUSION Our study showed excellent agreement in volume quantification between the fully automated software qER-NCCT and manual segmentation of ICH on NCCT. The qER-NCCT would be an important additive tool by aiding in early diagnostics and prognostication for patients with ICH and in provide volumetry on a population-wide level. Further refinement of the software should address the underestimation of ICH volume seen in a portion of large, heterogenous, irregularly shaped ICHs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noncontrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) features are promising markers for acute hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). It remains unclear whether accurate identification of these markers is also reliable in raters with different levels of experience. METHODS Patients with acute spontaneous ICH admitted at four tertiary centers in Germany and Italy were retrospectively included from January 2017 to June 2020. In total, nine NCCT markers were rated by one radiology resident, one radiology fellow, and one neuroradiology fellow with different levels experience in ICH imaging. Interrater reliabilities of the resident and radiology fellow were evaluated by calculated Cohen's kappa (κ) statistics in reference to the neuroradiology fellow who was referred as the gold standard. Gold-standard ratings were evaluated by calculated interrater κ statistics. Global interrater reliabilities were evaluated by calculated Fleiss kappa statistics across all three readers. A comparison of receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) was used to evaluate differences in the diagnostic accuracy for predicting acute hematoma expansion (HE) among the raters. RESULTS Substantial-to-almost-perfect interrater concordance was found for the resident with interrater Cohen's kappa from 0.70 (95% CI 0.65-0.81) to 0.96 (95% CI 0.94-0.98). The interrater Cohen's kappa for the radiology fellow was moderate to almost perfect and ranged from 0.58 (95% CI 0.52-0.65) to 94 (95% CI 92-0.97). The intrarater gold-standard Cohen's kappa was almost perfect and ranged from 0.79 (95% CI 0.78-0.90) to 0.98 (95% CI 0.78-0.90). The global interrater Fleiss kappa ranged from 0.62 (95%CI 0.57-0.66) to 0.93 (95%CI 0.89-0.97). The diagnostic accuracy for the prediction of acute hematoma expansion (HE) was different for the island sign and fluid sign, with p-values < 0.05. CONCLUSION The NCCT markers had a substantial-to-almost-perfect interrater agreement among raters with different levels of experience. Differences in the diagnostic accuracy for the prediction of acute HE were found in two out of nine NCCT markers. The study highlights the promising utility of NCCT markers for acute HE prediction.

A machine learning approach for predicting perihematomal edema expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Eur Radiol 2022; 33:4052-4062. [PMID: 36472694 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09311-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Preventing the expansion of perihematomal edema (PHE) represents a novel strategy for the improvement of neurological outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. Our goal was to predict early and delayed PHE expansion using a machine learning approach. METHODS We enrolled 550 patients with spontaneous ICH to study early PHE expansion, and 389 patients to study delayed expansion. Two imaging researchers rated the shape and density of hematoma in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT). We trained a radiological machine learning (ML) model, a radiomics ML model, and a combined ML model, using data from radiomics, traditional imaging, and clinical indicators. We then validated these models on an independent dataset by using a nested 4-fold cross-validation approach. We compared models with respect to their predictive performance, which was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS For both early and delayed PHE expansion, the combined ML model was most predictive (early/delayed AUC values were 0.840/0.705), followed by the radiomics ML model (0.799/0.663), the radiological ML model (0.779/0.631), and the imaging readers (reader 1: 0.668/0.565, reader 2: 0.700/0.617). CONCLUSION We validated a machine learning approach with high interpretability for the prediction of early and delayed PHE expansion. This new technique may assist clinical practice for the management of neurocritical patients with ICH. KEY POINTS • This is the first study to use artificial intelligence technology for the prediction of perihematomal edema expansion. • A combined machine learning model, trained on data from radiomics, clinical indicators, and imaging features associated with hematoma expansion, outperformed all other methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irregular hematoma is considered as a risk sign of hematoma expansion. The aim of this study was to quantify hematoma irregularity with computed tomography based on 3D Slicer. METHODS Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent an initial and subsequent non-contrast computed tomography (CT) at a single medical center between January 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively identified. The Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard images were loaded into the 3D Slicer, and the surface area (S) and volume (V) of hematoma were calculated. The hematoma irregularity index (HII) was defined as [Formula: see text]. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to assess predictive performance of HII. RESULTS The enrolled patients were divided into those with hematoma enlargement (n = 36) and those without the enlargement (n = 57). HII in hematoma expansion group was 130.4 (125.1-140.0), and the index in non-enlarged hematoma group was 118.6 (113.5-122.3). There was significant difference in HII between the two groups (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the HII was significantly associated with hematoma expansion before (odds ratio = 1.203, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.115-1.298; P < 0.001) and after adjustment for age, hematoma volume, Glasgow Coma Scale score (odds ratio = 1.196, 95% CI, 1.102-1.298, P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve was 0.86 (CI, 0.78-0.93, P < 0.01), and the best cutoff of HII for predicting hematoma growth was 123.8. CONCLUSION As a quantitative indicator of irregular hematoma, HII can be calculated using the 3D Slicer. And the HII was independently correlated with hematoma expansion.

Abstract
AbstractIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10–20% of all strokes worldwide and is associated with serious outcomes, including a 30-day mortality rate of up to 40%. Neuroimaging is pivotal in diagnosing ICH as early detection and determination of underlying cause, and risk for expansion/rebleeding is essential in providing the correct treatment. Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is the most used modality for detection of ICH, identification of prognostic markers and measurements of hematoma volume, all of which are of major importance to predict outcome. The strongest predictors of 30-day mortality and functional outcome for ICH patients are baseline hematoma volume and hematoma expansion. Even so, exact hematoma measurement is rare in clinical routine practice, primarily due to a lack of tools available for fast, effective, and reliable volumetric tools. In this educational review, we discuss neuroimaging findings for ICH from NCCT images, and their prognostic value, as well as the use of semi-automatic and fully automated hematoma volumetric methods and assessment of hematoma expansion in prognostic studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the association between non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) hematoma markers and the dynamic spot sign on computed tomography perfusion (CTP), and their associations with hematoma expansion, clinical outcome, and in-hospital mortality. METHODS Patients who presented with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to a stroke center over an 18-month period and underwent baseline NCCT and CTP, and a follow-up NCCT within 24 h after the baseline scan were included. The initial and follow-up hematoma volumes were calculated. Two raters independently assessed the baseline NCCT for hematoma markers and concurrently assessed the CTP for the dynamic spot sign. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the hematoma markers and the dynamic spot sign, adjusting for known ICH expansion predictors. RESULTS Eighty-five patients were included in our study and 55 patients were suitable for expansion analysis. Heterogeneous density was the only NCCT hematoma marker to be associated with the dynamic spot sign after multivariate analysis (odds ratio, 58.61; 95% confidence interval, 9.13-376.05; P < 0.001). The dynamic spot sign was present in 22 patients (26%) and significantly predicted hematoma expansion (odds ratio, 36.6; 95% confidence interval, 2.51-534.2; P = 0.008). All patients with a spot sign had a swirl sign. A co-located hypodensity and spot sign was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 6.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-34.78; P = 0.039). CONCLUSION Heterogeneous density and swirl sign are associated with the dynamic spot sign. The dynamic spot sign is a stronger predictor than NCCT hematoma markers of significant hematoma expansion. A co-located spot sign and hypodensity predicts in-hospital mortality.

Quantitative hematoma heterogeneity associated with hematoma growth in patients with early intracerebral hemorrhage. Front Neurol 2022; 13:999223.

Abstract
Background Early hematoma growth is associated with poor functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to explore whether quantitative hematoma heterogeneity in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) can predict early hematoma growth. Methods We used data from the Risk Stratification and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (Risa-MIS-ICH) trial. Our study included patients with ICH with a time to baseline NCCT <12 h and a follow-up CT duration <72 h. To get a Hounsfield unit histogram and the coefficient of variation (CV) of Hounsfield units (HUs), the hematoma was segmented by software using the auto-segmentation function. Quantitative hematoma heterogeneity is represented by the CV of hematoma HUs. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to determine hematoma growth parameters. The discriminant score predictive value was assessed using the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The best cutoff was determined using ROC curves. Hematoma growth was defined as a follow-up CT hematoma volume increase of >6 mL or a hematoma volume increase of 33% compared with the baseline NCCT. Results A total of 158 patients were enrolled in the study, of which 31 (19.6%) had hematoma growth. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that time to initial baseline CT (P = 0.040, odds ratio [OR]: 0.824, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.686–0.991), “heterogeneous” in the density category (P = 0.027, odds ratio [OR]: 5.950, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.228–28.828), and CV of hematoma HUs (P = 0.018, OR: 1.301, 95 % CI: 1.047–1.617) were independent predictors of hematoma growth. By evaluating the receiver operating characteristic curve, the CV of hematoma HUs (AUC = 0.750) has a superior predictive value for hematoma growth than for heterogeneous density (AUC = 0.638). The CV of hematoma HUs had an 18% cutoff, with a specificity of 81.9 % and a sensitivity of 58.1 %. Conclusion The CV of hematoma HUs can serve as a quantitative hematoma heterogeneity index that predicts hematoma growth in patients with early ICH independently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate risk stratification of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) could help refine adjuvant therapy selection and better understand the clinical course. We aimed to evaluate the value of radiomics features from hematomal and perihematomal edema areas for prognosis prediction and to develop a model combining clinical and radiomic features for accurate outcome prediction of patients with ICH. METHODS This multicenter study enrolled patients with ICH from January 2016 to November 2021. Their outcomes at 3 months were recorded based on the modified Rankin Scale (good, 0-3; poor, 4-6). Independent clinical and radiomic risk factors for poor outcome were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis, and predictive models were developed. Model performance and clinical utility were evaluated in both internal and external cohorts. RESULTS Among the 1098 ICH patients evaluated (mean age, 60 ± 13 years), 703 (64 %) had poor outcomes. Age, hemorrhage volume and location, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were independently associated with outcomes. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the clinical model was 0.881 in the external validation cohort. Addition of the Rad-score (combined hematoma and perihematomal edema area) improved predictive accuracy and model performance (AUC, 0.893), net reclassification improvement, 0.140 (P < 0.001), and integrated discrimination improvement, 0.050 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The radiomics features of hematomal and perihematomal edema area have additional value in prognostic prediction; moreover, addition of radiomic features significantly improves model accuracy.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe Hunter-8 prehospital stroke scale predicts large vessel occlusion in hyperacute ischemic stroke patients (LVO) at hospital admission. We wished to test its performance in the hands of paramedics as part of a prehospital triage algorithm. We aimed to determine a) the proportion of patients identified by the Hunter-8 algorithm, receiving reperfusion therapies, b) whether a call to stroke team improved this, and c) performance for LVO detection using an expanded LVO definition.MethodsA prehospital workflow combining pre-morbid functional status, time from symptom onset, and the Hunter-8 scale was implemented from July 2019. A telephone call to the stroke team was prompted for potential treatment candidates. Classic LVO was defined as a proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA-M1), terminal internal carotid artery, or tandem occlusion. Extended LVO added proximal MCA-M2 and basilar occlusions.ResultsFrom July 2019 to April 2021, there were 363 Hunter-8 activations, 320 analysed: 181 (56.6%) had confirmed ischemic strokes, 13 (4.1%) transient ischemic attack, 91 (28.5%) stroke mimics, and 35 (10.9%) intracranial haemorrhage. Fifty-two patients (16.3%) received reperfusion therapies, 35 with Hunter-8 ≥ 8. The stroke doctor changed the final destination for 76 patients (23.7%), and five received reperfusion therapies. The AUCs for classic and extended LVO were 0.73 (95% CI 0.66-0.79) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.65-0.77), respectively.ConclusionThe Hunter-8 workflow resulted in 28.7% of confirmed ischemic stroke patients receiving reperfusion therapies, with no secondary transfers to the comprehensive stroke centre. The role of communication with stroke team needs to be further explored.
