Telemedicine Protocols for the Management of Patients with Acute Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rural and Medically Underserved Areas in Gangwon State : Recommendations for Doctors with Less Expertise at Local Emergency Rooms. J Korean Neurosurg Soc 2024; 67:385-396. [PMID: 37901932 PMCID: PMC11220410 DOI: 10.3340/jkns.2023.0199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Previously, we reported the concept of a cloud-based telemedicine platform for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at local emergency rooms in rural and medically underserved areas in Gangwon state by combining artificial intelligence and remote consultation with a neurosurgeon. Developing a telemedicine ICH treatment protocol exclusively for doctors with less ICH expertise working in emergency rooms should be part of establishing this system. Difficulties arise in providing appropriate early treatment for ICH in rural and underserved areas before the patient is transferred to a nearby hub hospital with stroke specialists. This has been an unmet medical need for decade. The available reporting ICH guidelines are realistically possible in university hospitals with a well-equipped infrastructure. However, it is very difficult for doctors inexperienced with ICH treatment to appropriately select and deliver ICH treatment based on the guidelines. To address these issues, we developed an ICH telemedicine protocol. Neurosurgeons from four university hospitals in Gangwon state first wrote the guidelines, and professors with extensive ICH expertise across the country revised them. Guidelines and recommendations for ICH management were described as simply as possible to allow more doctors to use them easily. We hope that our effort in developing the telemedicine protocols will ultimately improve the quality of ICH treatment in local emergency rooms in rural and underserved areas in Gangwon state.

Eur Radiol 2024; 34:4417-4426. [PMID: 38127074 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10505-6] [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: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To predict the functional outcome of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using deep learning models based on computed tomography (CT) images. METHODS A retrospective, bi-center study of ICH patients was conducted. Firstly, a custom 3D convolutional model was built for predicting the functional outcome of ICH patients based on CT scans from randomly selected ICH patients in H training dataset collected from H hospital. Secondly, clinical data and radiological features were collected at admission and the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm was used to establish a second model, named the XGBoost model. Finally, the Convolution model and XGBoost model were fused to build the third "Fusion model." Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 0-3 at discharge. The prognostic predictive accuracy of the three models was evaluated using an H test dataset and an external Y dataset, and compared with the performance of ICH score and ICH grading scale (ICH-GS). RESULTS A total of 604 patients with ICH were included in this study, of which 450 patients were in the H training dataset, 50 patients in the H test dataset, and 104 patients in the Y dataset. In the Y dataset, the areas under the curve (AUCs) of the Convolution model, XGBoost model, and Fusion model were 0.829, 0.871, and 0.905, respectively. The Fusion model prognostic performance exceeded that of ICH score and ICH-GS (p = 0.043 and p = 0.045, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Deep learning models have good accuracy for predicting functional outcome of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The proposed deep learning Fusion model may assist clinicians in predicting functional outcome and developing treatment strategies, thereby improving the survival and quality of life of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. KEY POINTS • Integrating clinical presentations, CT images, and radiological features to establish deep learning model for functional outcome prediction of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. • Deep learning applied to CT images provides great help in prognosing functional outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage patients. • The developed deep learning model performs better than clinical prognostic scores in predicting functional outcome of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological emergency with high morbidity and mortality, and current treatment is limited. Emerging evidence has reported that statins can exert neuroprotective effects in cerebrovascular diseases. However, most of the published clinical studies are retrospective. Therefore, it is important to conduct a prospective randomised controlled trial to further validate the efficacy and safety of statins in patients with ICH. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The present study is performed at Xuan Wu Hospital Capital Medical University, Beijing Fengtai You'anmen Hospital and Shunping County Hospital, Hebei Province. The target number of patients is 98. Eligible patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the statins group or the control group. The primary outcome is the perihaemorrhagic oedema to haematoma ratio at 7 days. Secondary outcomes include mortality at 30 days, haematoma resolution rate at 7 days, National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score at 7 days or discharge, ordinal distribution of modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 90 days, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0-2 on day 90, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0-3 on day 90, absolute haematoma volume changes between initial and 7-day follow-up CT scan, absolute perihaematomal oedema changes between initial and 7-day follow-up CT scan. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial has been approved by the ethics committees of Xuan Wu Hospital Capital Medical University, Beijing Fengtai You'anmen Hospital and Shunping County Hospital, Hebei Province. The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and in conference reports. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04857632.

Peak Edema Extension Distance: An Edema Measure Independent from Hematoma Volume Associated with Functional Outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Neurocrit Care 2024; 40:1089-1098. [PMID: 38030878 PMCID: PMC11147861 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01886-z] [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: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our objective was to test the association between hematoma volume and long-term (> 72 h) edema extension distance (EED) evolution and the association between peak EED and early EED increase with functional outcome at 3 months in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH between January 2006 and January 2014. EED, an edema measure defined as the distance between the hematoma border and the outer edema border, was calculated by using absolute hematoma and edema volumes. We used multivariable logistic regression accounting for age, ICH volume, and location and receiver operating characteristic analysis for assessing measures associated with functional outcome and EED evolution. Functional outcome after 3 months was assessed by using the modified Rankin Scale (0-3 = favorable, 4-6 = unfavorable). To identify properties associated with peak EED multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS A total of 292 patients were included. Median age was 70 years (interquartile range [IQR] 62-78), median ICH volume on admission 17.7 mL (IQR 7.9-40.2), median peak perihemorrhagic edema (PHE) volume was 37.5 mL (IQR 19.1-60.6), median peak EED was 0.67 cm (IQR 0.51-0.84) with an early EED increase up to 72 h (EED72-0) of 0.06 cm (- 0.02 to 0.15). Peak EED was found to be independent of ICH volume (R2 = 0.001, p = 0.6). In multivariable analyses, peak EED (odds ratio 0.224, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.071-0.705]) and peak PHE volume (odds ratio 0.984 [95% CI 0.973-0.994]) were inversely associated with favorable functional outcome at 3 months. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified a peak PHE volume of 26.8 mL (area under the curve 0.695 [95% CI 0.632-0.759]; p ≤ 0.001) and a peak EED of 0.58 cm (area under the curve 0.608 [95% CI 0.540-0.676]; p = 0.002) as best predictive values for outcome discrimination. CONCLUSIONS Compared with absolute peak PHE volume, peak EED represents a promising edema measure in patients with ICH that is largely hematoma volume-independent and nevertheless associated with functional outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perihematomal edema (PHE) represents secondary brain injury and a potential treatment target in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, studies differ on optimal PHE volume metrics as prognostic factor(s) after spontaneous, non-traumatic ICH. This study examines associations of baseline and 24-h PHE shape features with 3-month outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 796 patients from a multicentric trial dataset and manually segmented ICH and PHE on baseline and follow-up CTs, extracting 14 shape features. We explored the association of baseline, follow-up, difference (baseline/follow-up) and temporal rate (difference/time gap) of PHE shape changes with 3-month modified Rankin Score (mRS) - using Spearman correlation. Then, using multivariable analysis, we determined if PHE shape features independently predict outcome adjusting for patients' age, sex, NIH stroke scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and hematoma volume. RESULTS Baseline PHE maximum diameters across various planes, main axes, volume, surface, and sphericity correlated with 3-month mRS adjusting for multiple comparisons. The 24-h difference and temporal change rates of these features had significant association with outcome - but not the 24-h absolute values. In multivariable regression, baseline PHE shape sphericity (OR = 2.04, CI = 1.71-2.43) and volume (OR = 0.99, CI = 0. 98-1.0), alongside admission NIHSS (OR = 0.86, CI = 0.83-0.88), hematoma volume (OR = 0.99, CI = 0. 99-1.0), and age (OR = 0.96, CI = 0.95-0.97) were independent predictors of favorable outcomes. CONCLUSION In acute ICH patients, PHE shape sphericity at baseline emerged as an independent prognostic factor, with a less spherical (more irregular) shape associated with worse outcome. The PHE shape features absolute values over the first 24 h provide no added prognostic value to baseline metrics.

Abstract
Background: Early perihematomal edema (PHE) growth is associated with worse functional outcomes at 90 days. Remote Ischemic conditioning (RIC) may reduce perihematomal inflammation if applied early to patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We hypothesize that early RIC, delivered for seven days in patients with spontaneous ICH, may reduce PHE growth. Methods: ICH patients presenting within 6 h of symptom onset and hematoma volume < 60 milliliters (mL) were randomized to an RIC + standard care or standard care (SC) group. The primary outcome measure was calculated edema extension distance (EED), with the cm assessed on day seven. Results: Sixty patients were randomized with a mean ± SD age of 57.5 ± 10.8 years, and twenty-two (36.7%) were female. The relative baseline median PHE were similar (RIC group 0.75 (0.5-0.9) mL vs. SC group 0.91 (0.5-1.2) mL, p = 0.30). The median EEDs at baseline were similar (RIC group 0.58 (0.3-0.8) cm vs. SC group 0.51 (0.3-0.8) cm, p = 0.76). There was no difference in the median day 7 EED (RIC group 1.1 (0.6-1.2) cm vs. SC group 1 (0.9-1.2) cm, p = 0.75). Conclusions: Early RIC therapy delivered daily for seven days was feasible. However, no decrease in EED was noted with the intervention.

Abstract
Background The relationship between baseline perihematomal edema (PHE) and inflammation, and their impact on survival after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are not well understood. Objective Assess the association between baseline PHE, baseline C-reactive protein (CRP), and early death after ICH. Methods Analysis of pooled data from multicenter ICH registries. We included patients presenting within 24 h of symptom onset, using multifactorial linear regression model to assess the association between CRP and edema extension distance (EED), and a multifactorial Cox regression model to assess the association between CRP, PHE volume and 30-day mortality. Results We included 1,034 patients. Median age was 69 (interquartile range [IQR] 59-79), median baseline ICH volume 11.5 (IQR 4.3-28.9) mL, and median baseline CRP 2.5 (IQR 1.5-7.0) mg/L. In the multifactorial analysis [adjusting for cohort, age, sex, log-ICH volume, ICH location, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), statin use, glucose, and systolic blood pressure], baseline log-CRP was not associated with baseline EED: for a 50% increase in CRP the difference in expected mean EED was 0.004 cm (95%CI 0.000-0.008, p = 0.055). In a further multifactorial analysis, after adjusting for key predictors of mortality, neither a 50% increase in PHE volume nor CRP were associated with higher 30-day mortality (HR 0.97; 95%CI 0.90-1.05, p = 0.51 and HR 0.98; 95%CI 0.93-1.03, p = 0.41, respectively). Conclusion Higher baseline CRP is not associated with higher baseline edema, which is also not associated with mortality. Edema at baseline might be driven by different pathophysiological processes with different effects on outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Perihematomal edema (PHE) is one of the severe secondary damages following intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Studies showed that blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury contributes to the development of PHE. Previous studies showed that occludin protein is a potential biomarker of BBB injury. In the present study, we investigated whether the levels of serum occludin on admission are associated with PHE volumes in ICH patients. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 90ICH patients and 32 healthy controls.The volumes of hematoma and PHE were assessed using non-contrast cranial CT within 30 min of admission. Blood samples were drawn on admission, and the levels of baseline serum occludin were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to evaluate the association between serum occludin levels and PHE volumes in ICH patients. RESULTS The serum occludin levels in ICH patients were much higher than health controls (median 0.27 vs. 0.13 ng/mL, p < 0.001). At admission, 34 ICH patients (37.78%) had experienced a severe PHE (≥30 mL), and their serum occludin levels were higher compared to those with mild PHE (<30 mL) (0.78 vs. 0.21 ng/mL, p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) of serum occludin level in predicting severe PHE was 0.747 (95% confidence interval CI 0.644-0.832, p < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between serum occludin levels and PHE volumes (partial correlation r = 0.675, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum occludin levels remained independently associated with the PHE volumes after adjusting other confounding factors. CONCLUSION The present study showed that serum occludin levels at admission were independently correlated with PHE volumes in ICH patients, which may provide a biomarker indicating PHE volume change.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a vital role in the development of secondary brain injury after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Interleukin-1 beta is an early pro-inflammatory cytokine and a potential therapeutic target. AIM To determine the effect of treatment with recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist anakinra on perihematomal oedema (PHO) formation in patients with spontaneous ICH compared to standard medical management, and investigate whether this effect is dose-dependent. METHODS ACTION is a phase-II, prospective, randomised, three-armed (1:1:1) trial with open-label treatment and blinded end-point assessment (PROBE) at three hospitals in The Netherlands. We will include 75 patients with a supratentorial spontaneous ICH admitted within 8 h after symptom onset. Participants will receive anakinra in a high dose (loading dose 500 mg intravenously, followed by infusion with 2 mg/kg/h over 72 h; n = 25) or in a low dose (loading dose 100 mg subcutaneously, followed by 100 mg subcutaneous twice daily for 72 h; n = 25), plus standard care. The control group (n = 25) will receive standard medical management. OUTCOMES Primary outcome is PHO, measured as oedema extension distance on MRI at day 7 ± 1. Secondary outcomes include the safety profile of anakinra, the effect of anakinra on serum inflammation markers, MRI measures of blood brain barrier integrity, and functional outcome at 90 ± 7 days. DISCUSSION The ACTION trial will provide insight into whether targeting interleukin-1 beta in the early time window after ICH onset could ameliorate secondary brain injury. This may contribute to the development of new treatment options to improve clinical outcome after ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although larger hematoma volume is associated with worse outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the association between perihematomal edema (PHE) volume and outcome remains uncertain, as does the impact of sex on PHE and outcome. Here we aimed to determine whether larger PHE volume is associated with worse outcome and whether PHE volume trajectories differ by sex. METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of the Factor VIIa for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Treatment (FAST) trial, which randomized patients with ICH to receive recombinant activated factor VIIa or placebo. Computerized planimetry calculated PHE and ICH volumes on serial computed tomography (CT) scans (at baseline [within 3 h of onset], at 24 h, and at 72 h). Generalized estimating equations examined interactions between sex, CT time points, and FAST treatment arm on PHE and ICH volumes. Mixed and multivariable logistic models examined associations between sex, PHE, and outcomes. RESULTS A total of 781 patients with supratentorial ICH (mean age 65 years) were included. Compared to women (n = 296), men (n = 485) had similar median ICH (14.9 vs. 13.6 mL, p = 0.053) and PHE volumes (11.1 vs. 10.5 mL, p = 0.56) at baseline but larger ICH and PHE volumes at 24 h (19.0 vs. 14.0 mL, p < 0.001; 22.2 vs. 15.7 mL, p < 0.001) and 72 h (16.0 vs. 11.8 mL, p < 0.001; 28.7 vs. 19.9 mL, p < 0.001). Men had higher absolute early PHE expansion (p < 0.001) and more hematoma expansion (growth ≥ 33% or 6 mL at 24 h, 33% vs. 22%, p < 0.001). An interaction between sex and CT time points on PHE volume (p < 0.001), but not on ICH volume, confirmed a steeper PHE trajectory in men. PHE expansion (per 5 mL, odds radio 1.19, 95% confidence interval 1.10-1.28), but not sex, was associated with poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS Early PHE expansion and trajectory in men were significantly higher. PHE expansion was associated with poor outcomes independent of sex. Mechanisms leading to sex differences in PHE trajectories merit further investigation.

Abstract
Inflammation and DNA methylation have been reported to play key roles in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to investigate new diagnostic biomarkers associated with inflammation and DNA methylation using a comprehensive bioinformatics approaches. GSE179759 and GSE125512 were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and 3222 inflammation-related genes (IFRGs) were downloaded from the Molecular Signatures Database. Key differentially expressed methylation-regulated and inflammation-related genes (DE-MIRGs) were identified by overlapping methylation-regulated differentially expressed genes (MeDEGs) between patients with ICH and control samples, module genes from weighted correlation network analysis, and IFRGs. Functional annotation of DE-MIRGs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to clarify the interrelationships between different DE-MIRGs. The key genes were categorized by least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). A total of 22 DE-MIRGs were acquired from 451 MeDEGs, 3222 IFRGs, and 302 module genes, and were mainly enriched in the GO terms of wound healing, blood coagulation, and hemostasis; and the KEGG pathways of PI3K/Akt signaling, focal adhesion, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton. A PPI network with 22 nodes and 87 edges was constructed based on the 22 DE-MIRGs, 11 of which were selected for key gene selection. Two 2 key genes (SELP and S100A4) were identified using LASSO and SVM-RFE. Finally, SELP was mainly enriched in cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation, cytoplasmic translation, and actin binding of GO terms, and the KEGG pathway including endocytosis, focal adhesion, and platelet activation. S100A4 was mainly enriched in GO terms including mitochondrial inner membrane; mitochondrial respirasome and lysosomal membrane; and the KEGG pathway of oxidative phosphorylation, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species. Twenty-two DE-MIRGs-associated inflammation and DNA methylation were identified between patients with ICH and normal controls, and two key genes (SELP and S100A4) were identified and regarded as biomarkers for ICH, which could provide the research foundation for further investigation of the pathological mechanism of ICH.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) perihematomal edema (PHE) volume trajectories differ by sex. Methods We conducted a post-hoc analysis of the Factor-VII-for-Acute-Hemorrhagic-Stroke-Treatment (FAST) trial that randomized patients with ICH to receive recombinant activated Factor VIIa or placebo. Computerized planimetry calculated PHE and ICH volumes on serial CT scans (at baseline [within 3 hours of onset], at 24, and at 72 hours). Generalized estimating equations examined interactions between sex, CT-timepoints, and FAST treatment-arm on PHE and ICH volumes. Mixed and multivariate logistic models examined associations between sex, PHE, and outcomes. Results 781 with supratentorial ICH (mean age 65 years) were included. Compared to women (n=296), men (n=485) had similar median ICH (14.9 versus 13.6 ml, p=0.053), and PHE volumes (11.1 versus 10.5 ml, p=0.56) at baseline but larger ICH and PHE at 24 hours (19.0 versus 14.0, p<0.001; 22.2 versus 15.7, p<0.001) and 72 hours (16.0 versus 11.8, p<0.001; 28.7 versus 19.9, p<0.001). Men had higher absolute PHE expansion (p<0.001), and more hematoma expansion (growth ≥33% or 6 mL at 24 hours, 33% versus 22%, p<0.001). An interaction between sex and CT-timepoints on PHE (p<0.001) but not on ICH volumes confirmed a steeper PHE trajectory in men. PHE expansion (per 5mL, odds radio, 1.19, 95%-confidence interval 1.10-1.28), but not sex, was associated with poor outcome. Conclusions PHE expansion and trajectory in men were significantly higher. PHE expansion was associated with poor outcomes independent of sex. Mechanisms leading to sex differences in PHE trajectories merit further investigation. What is already known on this topic Prior research has reported sex differences in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) characteristics and some studies suggest worse outcome after ICH in women. However, we do not have a good understanding whether there are sex differences in perihematomal edema (PHE) volume trajectories, or whether sex, independent of confounders, is associated with poor after ICH. What this study adds In this post-hoc analysis of 781 patients with supratentorial ICH from the Factor-VII-for-Acute-Hemorrhagic-Stroke-Treatment (FAST) trial in which patients underwent brain CT imaging time-locked to symptom onset (within 3 hours of symptom onset, at 24 hours, and at 72 hours), men compared to women had similar ICH and PHE volumes at baseline, but larger ICH expansion and PHE expansion on follow up imaging. The PHE but not the ICH volume trajectory across scans was significantly higher in men than in women. While PHE expansion was associated with poor outcome at 90 days, outcome between the sexes was similar at 90 days, and sex was not associated with outcome. How this study might affect research practice or policy The finding of heightened early PHE and ICH expansion in men may inform study design, patient recruitment strategies, and pre-specification of subgroup analyses in future interventional trials. The findings of this study also suggest that focusing on sex-specific factors may allow novel mechanistic insight into PHE, a major cause of secondary injury and poor outcome after ICH.

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.

Abstract
Objective Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a serious type of stroke with high mortality and disability rates. Surgical treatment options vary; however, predicting edema aggravation is crucial when choosing the optimal approach. We propose using the sphericity index, a measure of roundness, to predict the aggravation of edema and guide surgical decisions. Methods We analyzed 56 cases of craniotomy and hematoma evacuation to investigate the correlation between the sphericity index and patient outcomes, including the need for salvage decompressive craniectomy (DC). Results The patients included 35 (62.5%) men and 21 (37.5%) women, with a median age of 62.5 years. The basal ganglia was the most common location of hemorrhage (50.0%). The mean hematoma volume was 86.3 cc, with 10 (17.9%) instances of hematoma expansion. Cerebral herniation was observed in 44 (78.6%) patients, intraventricular hemorrhage in 34 (60.7%), and spot signs in 9 (16.1%). Salvage DC was performed in 13 (23.6%) patients to relieve intracranial pressure. The median follow-up duration was 6 months, with a mortality rate of 12.5%. The sphericity index was significantly correlated with delayed swelling and hematoma expansion but not salvage DC. Conclusions The sphericity index is a promising predictor of delayed swelling and hematoma expansion that may aid in the development of surgical guidelines and medication strategies. Further large-scale studies are required to explore these aspects and establish comprehensive guidelines.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal evolution of perihematomal blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise and edema growth and to determine the role of BBB compromise in edema growth. METHODS Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients who underwent computed tomography perfusion (CTP) were divided into five groups according to the time interval from symptom onset to CTP examination. Permeability-surface area product (PS) maps were generated using CTP source images. Ipsilateral and contralateral mean PS values were computed in the perihematomal and contralateral mirror regions. The relative PS (rPS) value was calculated as a ratio of ipsilateral to contralateral PS value. Hematoma and perihematomal edema volume were determined on non-contrast CT images. RESULTS In the total of 101 intracerebral hemorrhage patients, the ipsilateral mean PS value was significantly higher than that in contralateral region (z = -8.284, p < 0.001). The perihematomal BBB permeability showed a course of dynamic changes including an increase in the hyperacute and acute phases, a decrease in the early subacute phase and a second increase in the late subacute phase and chronic phase. Perihematomal edema increased gradually until the late subacute phase and then slightly increased. There was a relationship between rPS value and edema volume (β = 0.254, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION The perihematomal BBB permeability is dynamic changes, and edema growth is gradually increased in patients following intracerebral hemorrhage. BBB compromise plays an essential role in edema growth. The quantitative assessment of BBB compromise may provide valuable information in therapeutic interventions of intracerebral hemorrhage patients.

An updated systematic review and meta-analysis investigating perihematomal edema and clinical outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2023; 32:107204. [PMID: 37302208 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107204] [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: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between perihematomal edema (PHE) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes is uncertain. Given newly published studies, we updated a previous systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the prognostic impact of PHE on ICH outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Databases were searched through September 2022 using pre-defined keywords. Included studies used regression to examine the association between PHE and functional outcome (assessed by modified Rankin Scale [mRS]) and mortality. The study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The overall pooled effect, and secondary analyses exploring different subgroups were obtained by entering the log transformed odds ratios and their confidence intervals into a DerSimonian-Laird random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies (n=8655) were included. The pooled effect size for overall outcome (mRS and mortality) was 1.05 (95% CI 1.03, 1.07; p<0.00). In secondary analyses, PHE volume and growth effect sizes were 1.03 (CI 1.01, 1.05) and 1.12 (CI 1.06, 1.19), respectively. Results of subgroup analyses assessing absolute PHE volume and growth at different time points were: baseline volume 1.02 (CI 0.98, 1.06), 72-hour volume 1.07 (CI 0.99, 1.16), growth at 24 hours 1.30 (CI 0.96, 1.74) and growth at 72 hours 1.10 (CI 1.04, 1.17). Heterogeneity across studies was substantial. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicates that PHE growth, especially within the first 24 hours after ictus, has a stronger impact on functional outcome and mortality than PHE volume. Definitive conclusions are limited by the large variability of PHE measures, heterogeneity, and different evaluation time points between studies.

The association between perihaematomal oedema and functional outcome after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur Stroke J 2023; 8:423-433. [PMID: 37231691 PMCID: PMC10334181 DOI: 10.1177/23969873231157884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) formation has gained increasing interest as a therapeutic target after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Whether PHO contributes to poor outcome is unclear. We aimed to determine the association between PHO and outcome in patients with spontaneous ICH. METHOD We searched five databases up to 17 November 2021 for studies of ⩾10 adults with ICH reporting the presence of PHO and outcome. We assessed risk of bias, extracted aggregate data and used random effects meta-analysis to pool studies that reported odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Primary outcome was poor functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 3 months. Additionally, we assessed PHO growth and poor outcome at any time of follow-up. We prospectively registered the protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42020157088). FINDINGS We identified 12,968 articles, of which we included 27 studies (n = 9534). Eighteen studies reported an association between larger PHO volume and poor outcome, six a neutral result and three an inverse relationship. Larger absolute PHO volume was associated with poor functional outcome at 3 months (OR per mL increase of absolute PHO 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.06, I2 44%, four studies). Additionally, PHO growth was associated with poor outcome (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.06, I2 0%, seven studies). DISCUSSION In patients with spontaneous ICH, larger PHO volume is associated with poor functional outcome at 3 months. These findings support the development and investigation of new therapeutic interventions targeting PHO formation to evaluate if reduction of PHO improves outcome after ICH.

Targeted drug delivery to the brain endothelium dominates over passive delivery via vascular leak in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage. J Control Release 2023; 356:185-195. [PMID: 36868517 PMCID: PMC10519578 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.02.037] [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: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most common causes of fatal stroke, yet has no specific drug therapies. Many attempts at passive intravenous (IV) delivery in ICH have failed to deliver drugs to the salvageable area around the hemorrhage. The passive delivery method assumes vascular leak through the ruptured blood-brain barrier will allow drug accumulation in the brain. Here we tested this assumption using intrastriatal injection of collagenase, a well-established experimental model of ICH. Fitting with hematoma expansion in clinical ICH, we showed that collagenase-induced blood leak drops significantly by 4 h after ICH onset and is gone by 24 h. We observed passive-leak brain accumulation also declines rapidly over ∼4 h for 3 model IV therapeutics (non-targeted IgG; a protein therapeutic; PEGylated nanoparticles). We compared these passive leak results with targeted brain delivery by IV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that actively bind vascular endothelium (anti-VCAM, anti-PECAM, anti-ICAM). Even at early time points after ICH induction, where there is high vascular leak, brain accumulation via passive leak is dwarfed by brain accumulation of endothelial-targeted agents: At 4 h after injury, anti-PECAM mAbs accumulate at 8-fold higher levels in the brain vs. non-immune IgG; anti-VCAM nanoparticles (NPs) deliver a protein therapeutic (superoxide dismutase, SOD) at 4.5-fold higher levels than the carrier-free therapeutic at 24 h after injury. These data suggest that relying on passive vascular leak provides inefficient delivery of therapeutics even at early time points after ICH, and that a better strategy might be targeted delivery to the brain endothelium, which serves as the gateway for the immune attack on the peri-hemorrhage inflamed brain region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytotoxic edema (CE) is an important form of perihematomal edema (PHE), which is a surrogate marker of secondary injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, knowledge about CE after ICH is insufficient. Whether CE has adverse effects on clinical outcomes of patients with ICH remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the temporal pattern of CE and its association with clinical outcomes in patients with ICH. METHODS Data were derived from a randomized controlled study (comparing the deproteinized calf blood extract with placebo in patients with ICH). Intervention in this original study did not show any impact on hematoma and PHE volume, presence of CE, or clinical outcomes. We conducted our analysis in 20 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images at day 3 and within 7-12 days after symptom onset. CE was defined as an elevated DWI b1000 signal and an ADC value reduced by > 10% compared with the mirror area of interest in the perihematomal region. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Barthel Index (BI) were performed face to face at 30-day and 90-day follow-ups after ICH onset to assess the clinical outcomes of the patients. RESULTS CE was detected in nearly two thirds of patients with ICH in our study and seemed to be reversible. CE within 7-12 days, rather than at day 3 after symptom onset, was associated with poor clinical outcome (mRS 3-6) at the 30-day follow-up (P = 0.020). In addition, compared with those without CE, patients with CE within 7-12 days had more severe neurological impairment measured by NIHSS score (P = 0.024) and worse daily life quality measured by BI (P = 0.004) at both the 30- and 90-day follow-ups. CONCLUSIONS CE appears in the acute phase of ICH and might be reversible. CE within 7-12 days post ICH was related to poor outcomes, which provides a novel therapeutic target for ICH intervention.

Abstract
Progressive secondary brain injury-induced by dysregulated neuroinflammation in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH)-underlies high sICH-mortality and remains without FDA-approved pharmacotherapy. Clinical insight that hematoma-directed interventions do not improve mortality prioritizes resolving acute secondary brain injury in sICH. As neutrophils are implicated in sICH secondary brain injury, we tested whether inhibition of a rogue neutrophil-subset expressing the dual endothelin-1/signal peptide receptor (DEspR) and associated with secondary tissue injury, DEspR+ CD11b+ immunotype, will attenuate mortality in a hypertensive-sICH (hsICH) rat model. We confirmed sICH-related deaths in hsICH-rats by T2*-weighted 9.4 T MRI and DEspR+ neutrophils in hsICH-rat brain perihematomal areas by immunostaining. At acute sICH, anti-DEspR muIgG1-antibody, mu10a3, treatment increased median survival in hsICH rats vs controls (p < 0.0001). In pre-stroke sICH, weekly 10a3-treatment did not predispose to infection and delayed sICH-onset vs controls (p < 0.0001). As potential sICH-therapeutic, we tested humanized anti-DEspR IgG4S228P-mAb, hu6g8. In vitro, hu6g8 reversed delayed-apoptosis in DEspR+ CD11b+ neutrophils. In vivo, hu6g8 increased median survival and reduced neurologic symptoms in male/female hsICH-rats vs controls (p < 0.0001). Altogether, preclinical efficacy of inhibition of DEspR+ CD11b+ neutrophils in acute sICH-without infection complications, supports the potential of anti-DEspR therapy in sICH. Data provide basis for clinical study of DEspR+ CD11b+ neutrophil-subset in sICH patients.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for about 10% of all strokes in the United States of America causing a high degree of disability and mortality. There is initial (primary) brain injury due to the mechanical disruption caused by the hematoma. There is then secondary injury, triggered by the initial injury but also the release of various clot-derived factors (e.g., thrombin and hemoglobin). ICH alters brain fluid homeostasis. Apart from the initial hematoma mass, ICH causes blood-brain barrier disruption and parenchymal cell swelling, which result in brain edema and intracranial hypertension affecting patient prognosis. Reducing brain edema is a critical part of post-ICH care. However, there are limited effective treatment methods for reducing perihematomal cerebral edema and intracranial pressure in ICH. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying perihematomal brain edema formation, the effects of sex and age, as well as how edema is resolved. It examines progress in pharmacotherapy, particularly focusing on drugs which have been or are currently being investigated in clinical trials.

Abstract
This study quantified the effect of cold or heat exposure of ambient temperature on the alteration of well-known cardiac markers. A meta-analysis was performed using the PRISMA guidelines. Peer-reviewed studies on ambient temperature and cardiac biomarkers were retrieved from MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar from January 2000 to February 2022. The pooled effect sizes of ambient temperature on cardiac biomarkers c-reactive protein, soluble-cell adhesion-molecule-1, soluble-intercellular-adhesion-molecule-1, total cholesterol, low-densitylipoprotein, interleukin-6, B-type-Natriuretic-Peptide; systolic/diastolic blood pressure were quantified using a random-effects meta-analysis. A total of 26 articles were included in the metaanalysis after screening the titles, abstracts and full texts. The pooled results for a 1°C decrease of ambient temperature showed an increase of 0.31% (95% CI= 0.26 to 0.38) in cardiac biomarkers (p=0.00; I-squared=99.2%; Cochran's Q=5636.8). In contrast, the pooled results for a 1°C increase in ambient temperature showed an increase of 2.03% (95% CI= 1.08 to 3.82) in cardiac biomarkers (p=0.00; I-squared=95.7%; Cochran's Q=235.2). In the cardiovascular (CV) population, the percent increase in cardiac biomarkers levels due to a decrease/increase in ambient temperature was greater. This study showed the decrease/increase in ambient temperature has a direct correlation with the alterations in cardiac biomarkers. These findings are useful for managing temperatureassociated cardiovascular mortality.

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
AIM To quantitatively evaluate blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the perihaematomal region of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and investigate the association between the alterations in cerebral blood flow and BBB permeability around the haematoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Spontaneous ICH patients underwent unenhanced computed tomography (CT) and CT perfusion (CTP) simultaneously. Haematoma volume was measured on CT. The values of cerebral haemodynamic parameters including cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), time to peak (TTP), and permeability-surface area product (PS) were measured in the perihaematomal region and the contralateral mirror region, and then relative values were calculated for statistical analysis. Linear regression was used to evaluate associations between BBB permeability and variables. RESULTS A total of 87 ICH patients were included in this study. The focally elevated BBB permeability was observed in the perihaematomal region in ICH patients. Linear regression showed that reduced rCBF (β = -0.379, p=0.001) and increased rCBV (β = 0.412, p=0.000) correlated independently with increased relative PS (rPS) value in deep ICH, while only increased rCBV (β = 0.423, p=0.071) correlated to increased rPS value in patients with lobar ICH. CONCLUSIONS BBB permeability is focally elevated in the region around the haematoma. Cerebral haemodynamic alterations are associated with increased BBB permeability. Cerebral hypoperfusion may aggravate BBB compromise, and a compensatory increase in CBV may lead to reperfusion injury on BBB.

Neuroimage Clin 2022; 36:103242. [PMID: 36279754 PMCID: PMC9668657 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2022.103242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
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.

Molecular, Pathological, Clinical, and Therapeutic Aspects of Perihematomal Edema in Different Stages of Intracerebral Hemorrhage. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3948921. [PMID: 36164392 PMCID: PMC9509250 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3948921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of stroke worldwide. Neuronal destruction involved in the brain damage process caused by ICH includes a primary injury formed by the mass effect of the hematoma and a secondary injury induced by the degradation products of a blood clot. Additionally, factors in the coagulation cascade and complement activation process also contribute to secondary brain injury by promoting the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and neuronal cell degeneration by enhancing the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, etc. Although treatment options for direct damage are limited, various strategies have been proposed to treat secondary injury post-ICH. Perihematomal edema (PHE) is a potential surrogate marker for secondary injury and may contribute to poor outcomes after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the underlying pathological mechanism, evolution, and potential therapeutic strategies to treat PHE. Here, we review the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of PHE at different stages after acute ICH. As illustrated in preclinical and clinical studies, we discussed the merits and limitations of varying PHE quantification protocols, including absolute PHE volume, relative PHE volume, and extension distance calculated with images and other techniques. Importantly, this review summarizes the factors that affect PHE by focusing on traditional variables, the cerebral venous drainage system, and the brain lymphatic drainage system. Finally, to facilitate translational research, we analyze why the relationship between PHE and the functional outcome of ICH is currently controversial. We also emphasize promising therapeutic approaches that modulate multiple targets to alleviate PHE and promote neurologic recovery after acute ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes are important radiographic markers in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Accurate, reliable, and efficient quantification of these volumes will be paramount to their utility as measures of treatment effect in future clinical studies. Both manual and semi-automated quantification methods of hematoma and perihematomal edema volumetry are time-consuming and susceptible to inter-rater variability. Efforts are now underway to develop a fully automated algorithm that can replace them. A (QUANTUM) study to establish inter-quantification method measurement equivalency, which deviates from the traditional use of measures of agreement and a comparison hypothesis testing paradigm to indirectly infer quantification method measurement equivalence, is described in this article. The Quantification of Hematoma and Perihematomal Edema Volumes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage study aims to determine whether a fully automated quantification method and a semi-automated quantification method for quantification of hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes are equivalent to the hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes of the manual quantification method. METHODS/DESIGN Hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes of supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage on 252 computed tomography scans will be prospectively quantified in random order by six raters using the fully automated, semi-automated, and manual quantification methods. Primary outcome measures for hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes will be quantified via computed tomography scan on admission (<24 h from symptom onset) and on day 3 (72 ± 12 h from symptom onset), respectively. Equivalence hypothesis testing will be conducted to determine if the hematoma and perihematomal edema volume measurements of the fully automated and semi-automated quantification methods are within 7.5% of the hematoma and perihematomal edema volume measurements of the manual quantification reference method. DISCUSSION By allowing direct equivalence hypothesis testing, the Quantification of Hematoma and Perihematomal Edema Volumes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage study offers advantages over radiology validation studies which utilize measures of agreement to indirectly infer measurement equivalence and studies which mistakenly try to infer measurement equivalence based on the failure of a comparison two-sided null hypothesis test to reach the significance level for rejection. The equivalence hypothesis testing paradigm applied to artificial intelligence application validation is relatively uncharted and warrants further investigation. The challenges encountered in the design of this study may influence future studies seeking to translate artificial intelligence medical technology into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perihematomal edema (PHE) following primary intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) affects the patient outcome. Also, serum biomarkers such as S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) have been associated with ICHs outcome. We aimed to investigate the association between these biomarkers and PHE in ICH patients. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, patients with primary ICH between January 2020 and August 2020 were evaluated. All participants underwent spiral brain computed tomography scans upon admission, and 48 to 72 hours later and quantification of initial hematoma volume was performed. Serum level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), GFAP, and S100B on admission were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Acute clinical outcome was assessed by the modified-Rankin scale, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and ICH score. RESULTS Thirty-seven ICH patients (21 patients with a favorable outcome and 16 unfavorable) were studied. Compared with survival patients, nonsurvivor patients showed a higher serum level of MMP-9, VEGF, GFAP, and S100B ( P <0.05). Scores of absolute PHE, edema expansion distance, and PHE growth rate in the nonsurvivor group were higher than the survivors ( P <0.001). The regression model revealed that MMP-9, VEGF, ICH score, and hematoma volume were associated with the PHE growth rate. S100B and ICH score were associated with edema expansion distance. CONCLUSIONS Our data showed that the serum level of molecular biomarkers was associated with higher PHE volume and PHE scores were higher in nonsurvival patients, suggesting it may have a pathogenic role in developing PHE after ICH.

Defining Delayed Perihematomal Edema Expansion in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Segmentation, Time Course, Risk Factors and Clinical Outcome. Front Immunol 2022; 13:911207.

Abstract
We attempt to generate a definition of delayed perihematomal edema expansion (DPE) and analyze its time course, risk factors, and clinical outcomes. A multi-cohort data was derived from the Chinese Intracranial Hemorrhage Image Database (CICHID). A non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) -based deep learning model was constructed for fully automated segmentation hematoma and perihematomal edema (PHE). Time course of hematoma and PHE evolution correlated to initial hematoma volume was volumetrically assessed. Predictive values for DPE were calculated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and were tested in an independent cohort. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify risk factors for DPE formation and poor outcomes. The test cohort’s Dice scores of lesion segmentation were 0.877 and 0.642 for hematoma and PHE, respectively. Overall, 1201 patients were enrolled for time-course analysis of ICH evolution. A total of 312 patients were further selected for DPE analysis. Time course analysis showed the growth peak of PHE approximately concentrates in 14 days after onset. The best cutoff for DPE to predict poor outcome was 3.34 mL of absolute PHE expansion from 4-7 days to 8-14 days (AUC=0.784, sensitivity=72.2%, specificity=81.2%), and 3.78 mL of absolute PHE expansion from 8-14 days to 15-21 days (AUC=0.682, sensitivity=59.3%, specificity=92.1%) in the derivation sample. Patients with DPE was associated with worse outcome (OR: 12.340, 95%CI: 6.378-23.873, P<0.01), and the larger initial hematoma volume (OR: 1.021, 95%CI: 1.000-1.043, P=0.049) was the significant risk factor for DPE formation. This study constructed a well-performance deep learning model for automatic segmentations of hematoma and PHE. A new definition of DPE was generated and is confirmed to be related to poor outcomes in ICH. Patients with larger initial hematoma volume have a higher risk of developing DPE formation.

Abstract
Introduction The relationship between statins and intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes is unclear. Aim We aimed to compare the in‐hospital mortality and evacuation of intracranial hematoma rates in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage between prior statin users and nonusers. Results The final study population included 66,263 patients. Multivariable logistics analyses showed that prior statin use was not associated with in‐hospital mortality for primary intracerebral hemorrhage (adjusted odd ratio 0.78, 95% CI 0.61–1.01), but reduced the proportion of patients undergoing evacuation of intracranial hematoma (adjusted odd ratio 0.70, 95% CI 0.61–0.82). Propensity score matching analyses yielded similar results. Conclusion Prior statin use was not associated with in‐hospital mortality but did reduce evacuation of intracranial hematoma rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perihematomal edema (PHE) has been proposed as a radiological marker of secondary injury and therapeutic target in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prognostic impact of PHE on functional outcome and mortality in patients with ICH. METHODS We searched major databases through December 2020 using predefined keywords. Any study using logistic regression to examine the association between PHE or its growth and functional outcome was included. We examined the overall pooled effect and conducted secondary analyses to explore the impact of individual PHE measures on various outcomes separately. Study quality was assessed by three independent raters using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Odds ratios (per 1-unit increase in PHE) and their confidence intervals (CIs) were log transformed and entered into a DerSimonian-Laird random-effects meta-analysis to obtain pooled estimates of the effect. RESULTS Twenty studies (n = 6633 patients) were included in the analysis. The pooled effect size for overall outcome was 1.05 (95% CI 1.02-1.08; p < 0.00). For the following secondary analyses, the effect size was weak: mortality (1.01; 95% CI 0.90-1.14), functional outcome (1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.07), both 90-day (1.06; 95% CI 1.02-1.11), and in-hospital assessments (1.04; 95% CI 1.00-1.08). The effect sizes for PHE volume and PHE growth were 1.04 (95% CI 1.01-1.07) and 1.14 (95% CI 1.04-1.25), respectively. Heterogeneity across studies was substantial except for PHE growth. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that PHE volume within the first 72 h after ictus has a weak effect on functional outcome and mortality after ICH, whereas PHE growth might have a slightly larger impact during this time frame. Definitive conclusions are limited by the large variability of PHE measures, heterogeneity, and different evaluation time points between studies.

Abstract
Despite the global health burden, treatment of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is largely supportive and translation of specific medical therapies has not been successful. Zebrafish larvae offer a unique platform for drug screening to rapidly identify neuroprotective compounds following ICH. We applied the Spectrum Library compounds to zebrafish larvae acutely after ICH to screen for decreased brain cell death and identified 150 successful drugs. Candidates were then evaluated for possible indications with other cardiovascular diseases. Six compounds were identified including two angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I). Ramipril and quinapril were further assessed to confirm a significant 55% reduction in brain cell death. Proteomic analysis revealed potential mechanisms of neuroprotection. Using the INTERACT2 clinical trial dataset, we demonstrate a significant reduction in the adjusted odds of an unfavourable shift in the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days for patients receiving an ACE-I after ICH (vs. no ACE-I; odds ratio 0.80; 95% confidence interval 0.68-0.95; P=0.009). The zebrafish larval model of spontaneous ICH can be used as a reliable drug screening platform, and has identified therapeutics which may offer neuroprotection.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has one of the worst prognoses among patients with stroke. Surgical measures have been adopted to relieve the mass effect of the hematoma, and developing targeted therapy against secondary brain injury (SBI) after ICH is equally essential. Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that perihematomal edema (PHE) is a quantifiable marker of SBI after ICH and is associated with a poor prognosis. Thus, PHE has been considered a promising therapeutic target for ICH. However, the findings derived from existing studies on PHE are disparate and unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to classify, compare, and summarize the existing studies on PHE. In this review, we describe the growth characteristics and relevant underlying mechanism of PHE, analyze the contributions of different risk factors to PHE, present the potential impact of PHE on patient outcomes, and discuss the currently available therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to build a nomogram, based on patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH), to predict the probability of mortality and morbidity at 7 days and 90 days, respectively. METHODS We performed a retrospective study, with patients at less than 6 h from ictus admitted to the department of neurosurgery in a single institute, from January 2011 to December 2018. A total of 1036 patients with SICH were included, 486 patients (46.9%) were 47-66 years old at diagnosis, and 711 patients (68.6%) were male. The least absolute shrinkage and section operator method was performed to identify the key adverse factors predicting the outcomes in patients with SICH, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was built on these variables, and then the results were visualized by a nomogram. The discrimination of the prognostic models was measured and compared by means of Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, area under the curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that factors affecting 7-day mortality, including the following: age, therapy, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) admission, location, ventricle involved, hematoma volume, white blood cell (WBC), uric acid (UA), and L-lactic dehydrogenase (LDH); and factors affecting 90-day mortality, including temperature, therapy, GCS admission, ventricle involved, WBC, international normalized ratio, UA, LDH, and systolic blood pressure. The C-index for the 7-day mortality and 90-day mortality prediction nomogram was 0.9239 (95% CI = 0.9061-0.9416) and 0.9241 (95% CI = 0.9064-0.9418), respectively. The AUC of 7-day mortality was 92.4, as is true of 90-day mortality. The calibration curve and DCA indicated that nomograms in our study had a good prediction ability. For 90-day morbidity, age, marital status, and GCS at 7-day remained statistically significant in multivariate analysis. The C-index for the prediction nomogram was 0.6898 (95% CI = 0.6511-0.7285), and the calibration curve, AUC as well as DCA curve indicated that the nomogram for the prediction of good outcome demonstrated good agreement in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS Nomograms in this study revealed many novel prognostic demographic and laboratory factors, and the individualized quantitative risk estimation by this model would be more practical for treatment management and patient counseling.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between early perihematomal edema (PHE) expansion and functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Patients with ICH who underwent initial computed tomography (CT) scans within 6 hours after the onset of symptoms and follow-up CT scans within 24 ± 12 hours were included. Absolute PHE increase was defined as the absolute increase in PHE volume from baseline to 24 hours. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to determine the cutoff value for early PHE expansion, which was operationally defined as an absolute increase in PHE volume of >6 mL. The outcome of interest was 3-month poor outcome defined as modified Rankin scale score of ≥4. A multivariable logistic regression procedure was used to assess the association between early PHE expansion and outcome after ICH. Results In 233 patients with ICH, 89 (38.2%) patients had poor outcome at 3-month follow-up. Early PHE expansion was observed in 56 of 233 (24.0%) patients. Patients with early PHE expansion were more likely to have poor functional outcome than those without (43.8% vs. 11.8%, p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, admission systolic blood pressure, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, baseline ICH volume and the presence of intraventricular hemorrhage, and time from onset to CT, early PHE expansion was associated with poor outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 4.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.70–10.60; p = 0.002). Conclusions The early PHE expansion was not uncommon in patients with ICH and was correlated with poor outcome following ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to hemorrhage caused by spontaneous rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Brain injury due to ICH leads to catastrophic effects resulting from the formation of hematoma and oxidative stress caused by components of lysed erythrocytes. However, not all neurons in the area surrounding the hematoma die immediately: A number of neurons remain in a critical, but reversible, state; however, the genes involved in this critical state remain poorly understood. Gene chip technology was used identify changes in the area surrounding the hematoma associated with the upregulation of 210 and downregulation of 173 genes. Gene Ontology functional annotation revealed changes in the gene expression profile in the peripheral region of hematoma following ICH, which were primarily associated with the external stimulation received by the organism, the transmission of harmful information to the cell through the transport of cell membrane proteins, and the regulation of a series of biological processes. Protein interaction network analysis revealed that 11 up-[secreted phosphoprotein 1, dual specificity phosphatase 9, catechol-O-methyltransferase, BAR/IMD domain-containing adaptor protein 2-like 1, plakophilin 2, homer scaffold protein 3, ret proto-oncogene (RET), KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase, hepsin, connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of Ras 2 and kalirin RhoGEF kinase] and four downregulated genes (transcription factor AP-2β, peptidylprolyl isomerase A, SHOC2 leucine rich repeat scaffold protein and synuclein α) may serve a significant role in the area around hematoma following ICH. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to verify that these genes were differentially expressed in the ICH compared with the control group. Causal network analysis suggested that the Achaete-scute homolog 1-RET signaling axis served a key role in the repair of nerve injury in the peripheral region of hematoma following ICH. Additionally, in vivo experiments revealed that RET expression was upregulated and co-localized with neurons. Taken together, these results suggested that the changes in the gene expression profile in the area around hematoma following ICH were primarily associated with the repair of damage caused to the nervous system.

Early Predictors of the Increase in Perihematomal Edema Volume After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Analysis From the Risa-MIS-ICH Study. Front Neurol 2021; 12:700166. [PMID: 34385972 PMCID: PMC8353085 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.700166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: Perihematomal edema (PHE) is associated with poor functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Early identification of risk factors associated with PHE growth may allow for targeted therapeutic interventions. Methods: We used data contained in the risk stratification and minimally invasive surgery in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (Risa-MIS-ICH) patients: a prospective multicenter cohort study. Patients' clinical, laboratory, and radiological data within 24 h of admission were obtained from their medical records. The absolute increase in PHE volume from baseline to day 3 was defined as iPHE volume. Poor outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 4 to 6 at 90 days. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between iPHE volume and poor outcome. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to find the best cutoff. Linear regression was used to identify variables associated with iPHE volume (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03862729). Results: One hundred ninety-seven patients were included in this study. iPHE volume was significantly associated with poor outcome [P = 0.003, odds ratio (OR) 1.049, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.016-1.082] after adjustment for hematoma volume. The best cutoff point of iPHE volume was 7.98 mL with a specificity of 71.4% and a sensitivity of 47.5%. Diabetes mellitus (P = 0.043, β = 7.66 95% CI 0.26-15.07), black hole sign (P = 0.002, β = 18.93 95% CI 6.84-31.02), and initial ICH volume (P = 0.018, β = 0.20 95% CI 0.03-0.37) were significantly associated with iPHE volume. After adjusting for hematoma expansion, the black hole sign could still independently predict the increase of PHE (P < 0.001, β = 21.62 95% CI 10.10-33.15). Conclusions: An increase of PHE volume >7.98 mL from baseline to day 3 may lead to poor outcome. Patients with diabetes mellitus, black hole sign, and large initial hematoma volume result in more PHE growth, which should garner attention in the treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze the new combined indicators on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) to predict functional outcome at discharge, compared to previously individual radiological NCCT signs. METHODS Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who underwent baseline CT scan were retrospectively analyzed. Black hole (BH) sign, blend sign (BS), island sign (IS), swirl sign (SwS), Barras classification, any hypodensity, any irregularity, and two combined novel indicators-Combined Barras Total Score (CBTS) and Hematoma Maturity Score-were assessed independently by two radiologists blinded to clinical information. Patients were trichotomized depending on the disability or dependency at discharge according to the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS): no symptoms or no significant/mild disability (mRS 0-2); moderate or severe disability (mRS 3-5); and mortality (mRS 6). RESULTS One hundred fourteen patients with spontaneous ICH confirmed by NCCT were included in the analysis. Multivariable statistical analysis was adjusted for anticoagulation, hematoma volume, ventricular expansion, hypertension, blood glucose level at admission, age, and history of atrial fibrillation and demonstrated that any hypodensity (OR 4.768, p 0.006), any irregularity (OR 4.768, p 0.006), CBTS ≥ 4 (OR 3.205, p 0.025), and the new Hematoma Maturity Score (Immature) (OR 5.872, p 0.006) are independent predictors of functional outcome at discharge. CONCLUSIONS The new concept of the Hematoma Maturity Score was the radiological sign on NCCT with the highest impact on clinical outcome in comparison with the rest of the evaluated radiological signs. KEY POINTS • This is the first manuscript where density and shape characteristics of the ICH had been evaluated together and integrated in a new Hematoma Maturity Score. • The new Hematoma Maturity Score is the radiological sign on NCCT with the highest impact on clinical outcome at discharge.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) being the most lethal subtype. Neuritin (Nrn) is a neurotropic factor that has been reported to have neuroprotective effects in acute brain and spinal cord injury. However, whether Nrn has a protective role in ICH has not been investigated. In this study, ICH was induced in C57BL/6 J mice by injection of collagenase VII, while the overexpression of Nrn in the striatum was induced by an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vector. We found that compared with GFP-ICH mice, Nrn-ICH mice showed improved performance in the corner, cylinder and forelimb tests after ICH, and showed less weight loss and more rapid weight recovery. Overexpression of Nrn reduced brain lesions, edema, neuronal death and white matter and synaptic integrity dysfunction caused by ICH. Western blot results showed that phosphorylated PERK and ATF4 were significantly inhibited, while phosphorylation of Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin was increased in the Nrn-ICH group, compared with the GFP-ICH group. Whole cell recording from motor neurons indicated that overexpression of Nrn reversed the decrease of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) and action potential frequencies induced by ICH. These data show that Nrn improves neurological deficits in mice with ICH by reducing brain lesions and edema, inhibiting neuronal death, and possibly by increasing neuronal connections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Perihemorrhagic edema (PHE) growth has been gradually considered as predictor for outcome of Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The aim of our study was to investigate correlation between non-contrast computed tomography (CT) markers and early PHE growth. METHODS ICH patients between July 2011 and March 2017 were included in this retrospective analysis. ICH and PHE volumes were measured by using a validated semiautomatic volumetric algorithm. Nonparametric test was used for comparing PHE volume at different time points of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) imaging markers. Multivariable linear regression was constructed to study the relationship between NCCT imaging markers and PHE growth over 36 h. RESULTS A total of 214 patients were included. Nonparametric test showed that PHE volume was significantly different between patients with and without NCCT imaging markers. (all p < 0.05) In multivariable linear regression analysis adjusted for ICH characteristics, blend sign (p = 0.011), black hole sign (p = 0.002), island sign (p < 0.001), and expansion-prone hematoma (p < 0.001) were correlated with PHE growth. Follow-up PHE volume within 36 h after baseline CT scan was associated with blend sign (p = 0.001), island sign (p < 0.001), and expansion-prone hematoma (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION NCCT imaging markers of hematoma expansion are associated with PHE growth. This suggests that early PHE growth can be predicted using radiology markers on admission CT scan.

Abstract
Primary or nontraumatic spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) comprises approximately 15% to 20% of all stroke. ICH has a mortality of approximately 40% within the first month, and 75% mortality and morbidity rate within the first year. Despite reduction in overall stroke incidence, hemorrhagic stroke incidence has remained steady since 1980. Neuroimaging is critical in detection of ICH, determining the underlying cause, identification of patients at risk of hematoma expansion, and directing the treatment strategy. This article discusses the neuroimaging methods of ICH, imaging markers for clinical outcome prediction, and future research directions with attention to the latest evidence-based guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic conditioning can promote hematoma resolution, attenuate brain edema, and improve neurological recovery in animal models of intracerebral hemorrhage. AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, controlled trial, 40 subjects with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage presenting within 24-48 h of onset were randomly assigned to receive medical therapy plus remote ischemic conditioning for consecutive seven days or medical therapy alone. The primary safety outcome was neurological deterioration within seven days of enrollment, and the primary efficacy outcome was the changes of hematoma volume on CT images. Other outcomes included hematoma resolution rate at 7 days ([hematoma volume at 7 days - hematoma volume at baseline]/hematoma volume at baseline), perihematomal edema (PHE), and functional outcome at 90 days. RESULTS The mean age was 59.3 ± 11.7 years and hematoma volume was 13.9 ± 4.5 mL. No subjects experienced neurological deterioration within seven days of enrollment, and no subject died or experienced remote ischemic conditioning-associated adverse events during the study period. At baseline, the hematoma volumes were 14.19 ± 5.07 mL in the control group and 13.55 ± 3.99 mL in the remote ischemic conditioning group, and they were 8.54 ± 3.99 mL and 6.95 ± 2.71 mL at seven days after enrollment, respectively, which is not a significant difference (p > 0.05 each). The hematoma resolution rate in the remote ischemic conditioning group (49.25 ± 9.17%) was significantly higher than in the control group (41.92 ± 9.14%; MD, 7.3%; 95% CI, 1.51-13.16%; p = 0.015). The absolute PHE volume was 17.27 ± 8.34 mL in the control group and 12.92 ± 7.30 mL in the remote ischemic conditioning group at seven days after enrollment, which is not a significant between-group difference (p = 0.087), but the relative PHE in the remote ischemic conditioning group (1.77 ± 0.39) was significantly lower than in the control group (2.02 ± 0.27; MD, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.39-0.47; p = 0.023). At 90-day follow-up, 13 subjects (65%) in the remote ischemic conditioning group and 12 subjects (60%) in the control group achieved favorable functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 3), which is not a significant between-group difference (p = 0.744). CONCLUSIONS Repeated daily remote ischemic conditioning for consecutive seven days was safe and well tolerated in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, and it may be able to improve hematoma resolution rate and reduce relative PHE. However, the effects of remote ischemic conditioning on the absolute hematoma and PHE volume and functional outcomes in this patient population need further investigations.Clinical Trial Registration URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hematoma expansion (HE) is strongly associated with poor clinical outcome and is a compelling target for improving outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is widely used in clinical practice due to its faster acquisition at the presence of acute stroke. Recently, imaging markers on NCCT are increasingly used for predicting HE. We comprehensively review the current evidence on HE prediction using NCCT and provide a summary for assessment of these markers in future research studies. RECENT FINDINGS Predictors of HE on NCCT have been described in reports of several studies. The proposed markers, including swirl sign, blend sign, black hole sign, island sign, satellite sign, and subarachnoid extension, were all significantly associated with HE and poor outcome in their small sample studies after ICH. In summary, the optimal management of ICH remains a therapeutic dilemma. Therefore, using NCCT markers to select patients at high risk of HE is urgently needed. These markers may allow rapid identification and provide potential targets for anti-HE treatments in patients with acute ICH.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between neck circumference (NC) and functional outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. Methods: We prospectively analyzed data from ICH patients who received treatment at our institution from January 2018 to November 2019. Patients were categorized into two groups according to 180-day modified Rankin scale (MRS) scores. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess whether NC was associated with poor outcome in ICH patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the significance of NC in predicting the functional outcome of ICH patients. Results: A total of 312 patients were enrolled in our study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that NC was an independent predictor of poor 180-day functional outcome [odds ratio (OR) = 1.205, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.075–1.350, p = 0.001]. ROC analysis revealed that NC could predict poor functional outcome at 6 months. Conclusions: NC is an independent predictor of unfavorable functional outcome at 6 months in ICH patients.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common form of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity and mortality. Rapid and massive bleeding may compress the brain tissue, causing space-occupying and pathological effects, such as reduced local cerebral blood flow, acidosis, and inflammatory and immune responses. Although the development of minimally invasive technique provides a new option for the treatment of ICH, their application is limited due to the difficulty in achieving accurate puncture localization under the guidance of the marks on CT. We selected 30 patients treated with neuroendoscopic surgery guided by 3D-printed navigation technology (experimental group) and 30 patients treated with neuroendoscopic surgery guided by hand-painted on the patient's body surface according to the marks on CT (control group). Our results showed that patients in the experimental group had a lower number of intraoperative punctures, shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, higher hematoma clearance rate, and smaller volume of perihematomal edema than the patients in the control group. Moreover, patients in the experimental group had higher Glasgow Coma Scale score at discharge, shorter postoperative hospitalization time and ICU stay, and a lower rate of postoperative complications, despite the lack of statistically significant differences. In addition, no statistically significant differences were observed in mortality and Glasgow Outcome Scale score between the two groups. In conclusion, 3D-printed navigation technology used for the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal is a more reliable and less invasive approach in the treatment of ICH. This technique has great application prospects and deserves promotion in the future clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate for the first time the performance of a deep learning method based on no-new-Net for fully automated segmentation and volumetric measurements of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), intraventricular extension of intracerebral hemorrhage (IVH), and perihematomal edema (PHE) in primary ICH on CT. METHODS Three hundred and eighty primary ICH patients who underwent CT at hospital arrival were divided into a training cohort (n = 300) and a validation cohort (n = 80). An independent cohort with 80 patients was used for testing. Ground truth (segmentation masks) was manually generated by radiologists. Model performance on lesion segmentation and volumetric measurement of ICH, IVH, and PHE were evaluated by comparing the model results with the segmentations performed by radiologists. RESULTS In the test cohort, the Dice scores of lesion segmentation were 0.92, 0.79, and 0.71 for ICH, IVH, and PHE, respectively. The sensitivities were 0.93 for ICH, 0.88 for IVH, and 0.81 for PHE. The positive predictive values were 0.92, 0.76, and 0.69 for ICH, IVH, and PHE, respectively. Excellent concordance (concordance correlation coefficients [CCCs] ≥ 0.98) of ICH and IVH and good concordance of PHE (CCCs ≥ 0.92) were demonstrated between manually and automatically measured volumes. The model took approximately 15 s to provide automatic segmentation and volume analysis for each patient. CONCLUSION Our model demonstrates good reliability for automatic segmentation and volume measurement of ICH, IVH, and PHE in primary ICH, which can be useful to reduce the effort and time of doctors to calculate volumes of ICH, IVH, and PHE. KEY POINTS • Deep learning algorithms can provide automatic and reliable assessment of intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and perihematomal edema on CT. • Non-contrast CT-based deep learning method can be helpful to provide efficient and accurate measurements of ICH, IVH, and PHE in primary ICH patients, thereby reducing the effort and time of doctors to segment and calculate volumes of ICH, IVH, and PHE in primary ICH patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We postulated that renal replacement therapy (RRT) in ICH patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased frequency and size of perihematomal edema (PHE) expansion and worse patient outcomes. METHODS The Get With the Guidelines-Stroke Registry was queried for all patients admitted with ICH (N = 1089). Secondary causes, brainstem ICH, and initial HV < 7 cc were excluded. We identified patients with advanced CKD with and without RRT following admission for ICH. ABC/2 formula was used to measure hematoma volume (HV) and PHE. Patient outcomes were 30-day mortality, 90-day modified Rankin Scale score, and discharge disposition. We used propensity scores and optimal matching to adjust for multiple covariates. RESULTS At 48 h post-ICH, PHE expansion was a significant predictor of poor patient outcomes in our cohort. Patients with CKD who received sustained low-efficacy dialysis (SLED) treatment had larger 48 h PHE growth compared to both untreated CKD group (average treatment effect (ATE), 11.5; 95% CI, 4.9-18.1; p < 0.01) and all untreated patients (ATE, 7.43; 95% CI, 4.7-10.2; p < 0.01). Moreover, patients with RRT had significantly worse functional and mortality outcomes. CONCLUSIONS SLED treatment in ICH patients with CKD was associated with significant increase in rate and frequency of PHE expansion. Absolute increase in PHE during 48-h post-ICH was associated with increased mortality and worse functional outcomes. Further prospective and multicenter evaluation is needed to differentiate the effects of RRT on hematoma dynamics and patient outcomes from those attributed to CKD.
