Quantitative imaging for predicting hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage: A multimodel comparison. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107731. [PMID: 38657831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107731] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies report that radiomics provides additional information for predicting hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the comparison of diagnostic performance of radiomics for predicting revised hematoma expansion (RHE) remains unclear. METHODS The cohort comprised 312 consecutive patients with ICH. A total of 1106 radiomics features from seven categories were extracted using Python software. Support vector machines achieved the best performance in both the training and validation datasets. Clinical factors models were constructed to predict RHE. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the abilities of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) signs, radiomics features, and combined models to predict RHE. RESULTS We finally selected the top 21 features for predicting RHE. After univariate analysis, 4 clinical factors and 5 NCCT signs were selected for inclusion in the prediction models. In the training and validation dataset, radiomics features had a higher predictive value for RHE (AUC = 0.83) than a single NCCT sign and expansion-prone hematoma. The combined prediction model including radiomics features, clinical factors, and NCCT signs achieved higher predictive performances for RHE (AUC = 0.88) than other combined models. CONCLUSIONS NCCT radiomics features have a good degree of discrimination for predicting RHE in ICH patients. Combined prediction models that include quantitative imaging significantly improve the prediction of RHE, which may assist in the risk stratification of ICH patients for anti-expansion treatments.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Early identification for hematoma expansion can help improve patient outcomes. Presently, there are many methods to predict hematoma expansion. This study compared a variety of models to find a model suitable for clinical promotion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-contrast head CT images and clinical data were collected from 203 patients diagnosed with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Radiomics features were extracted from all CT images, and the dataset was randomly divided into training and validation sets (7:3 ratio) after applying the synthetic minority oversampling method. The radiomics score (Radscore) was calculated using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, combined with selected clinical predictors, to develop a nomogram and four machine learning (ML) models: logistic regression, random forest, support vector machine, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). Discrimination, calibration and clinical usefulness of the nomogram and ML models were assessed. RESULTS The nomogram and ML models were integrated with Radscore and clinical predictors. The nomogram demonstrated favorable discriminatory ability in the training set with an AUC of 0.80, which was confirmed in the validation set (AUC=0.76). Among the ML models, the XGBoost model achieved the highest AUC (training set=0.89 and validation set=0.85), surpassing that of the nomogram. The XGBoost model exhibited good clinical usefulness. CONCLUSION Both the nomogram and ML models constructed by non-contrast head CT image-based Radscore integrated with clinical predictors can predict early hematoma expansion of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, and the XGBoost model had the highest prediction performance and best clinical usefulness.

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
Hematoma expansion (HE) is a high risky symptom with high rate of occurrence for patients who have undergone spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after a major accident or illness. Correct prediction of the occurrence of HE in advance is critical to help the doctors to determine the next step medical treatment. Most existing studies focus only on the occurrence of HE within 6 h after the occurrence of ICH, while in reality a considerable number of patients have HE after the first 6 h but within 24 h. In this study, based on the medical doctors recommendation, we focus on prediction of the occurrence of HE within 24 h, as well as the occurrence of HE every 6 h within 24 h. Based on the demographics and computer tomography (CT) image extraction information, we used the XGBoost method to predict the occurrence of HE within 24 h. In this study, to solve the issue of highly imbalanced data set, which is a frequent case in medical data analysis, we used the SMOTE algorithm for data augmentation. To evaluate our method, we used a data set consisting of 582 patients records, and compared the results of proposed method as well as few machine learning methods. Our experiments show that XGBoost achieved the best prediction performance on the balanced dataset processed by the SMOTE algorithm with an accuracy of 0.82 and F1-score of 0.82. Moreover, our proposed method predicts the occurrence of HE within 6, 12, 18 and 24 h at the accuracy of 0.89, 0.82, 0.87 and 0.94, indicating that the HE occurrence within 24 h can be predicted accurately by the proposed method.

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
The black hole sign (BHS) is a rare radiological sign seen in the hyperacute phase of bleeding. It manifests within a hemorrhage in early hours, with limited studies exploring clot formation and evolution over a short duration. Despite various hypothesized mechanisms, the precise lifetime and dynamics of black hole sign development remain unclear. We describe the rare finding of a black hole sign within a deep brain hemorrhage, initially observed in the lateral portion of the clot during the first CT scan. Remarkably, in a subsequent CT scan, just 1 hour later, the BHS migrated towards the inner edge. Notably, while the hemorrhage size remained largely unchanged within this short timeframe, hyperacute bleeding led to increased perihematomal edema and sulci flattening. Histopathological features of the "evolving clot" are initially characterized by heightened cellularity. This increased cell density renders the hematoma less resistant to compressive forces, such as heightened endocranial pressure, offering a plausible explanation for the crushing and displacement of the BHS. Our study sheds light on the unique radiological progression of BHS within a deep brain ICH, emphasizing its association with dynamic clot formation and the consequential impact on surrounding structures.

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
PURPOSE To construct a clinical noncontrastive computed tomography (NCCT) deep learning joint model for predicting early hematoma expansion (HE) after cerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and evaluate its predictive performance. METHODS All 254 patients with primary cerebral hemorrhage from January 2017 to December 2022 in the General Hospital of the Western Theater Command were included. According to the criteria of hematoma enlargement exceeding 33% or the volume exceeding 6 ml, the patients were divided into the HE group and the hematoma non-enlargement (NHE) group. Multiple models and the 10-fold cross-validation method were used to screen the most valuable features and model the probability of predicting HE. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to analyze the prediction efficiency of each model for HE. RESULTS They were randomly divided into a training set of 204 cases in an 8:2 ratio and 50 cases of the test set. The clinical imaging deep feature joint model (22 features) predicted the area under the curve of HE as follows: clinical Navie Bayes model AUC 0.779, traditional radiology logistic regression (LR) model AUC 0.818, deep learning LR model AUC 0.873, and clinical NCCT deep learning multilayer perceptron model AUC 0.921. CONCLUSION The combined clinical imaging deep learning model has a high predictive effect for early HE in sICH patients, which is helpful for clinical individualized assessment of the risk of early HE in sICH patients.

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.

Abstract
Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage (HICH) is one of the most common types of cerebral hemorrhage with a high mortality and disability rate. Currently, preoperative non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scanning-guided stereotactic hematoma removal has achieved good results in treating HICH, but some patients still have poor prognoses. This study collected relevant clinical and radiomic data by retrospectively collecting and analyzing 432 patients who underwent stereotactic hematoma removal for HICH from January 2017 to December 2020 at the Liuzhou Workers Hospital. The prognosis of patients after 90 days was judged by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scale and divided into the good prognosis group (mRS ≤ 3) and the poor prognosis group (mRS > 3). The 268 patients were randomly divided into training and test sets in the ratio of 8:2, with 214 patients in the training set and 54 patients in the test set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) was used to screen radiomics features. They were combining clinical features and radiomic features to build a joint prediction model of the nomogram. The AUCs of the clinical model for predicting different prognoses of patients undergoing stereotactic HICH were 0.957 and 0.922 in the training and test sets, respectively, while the AUCs of the radiomics model were 0.932 and 0.770, respectively, and the AUCs of the combined prediction model for building a nomogram were 0.987 and 0.932, respectively. Compared with a single clinical or radiological model, the nomogram constructed by fusing clinical variables and radiomic features could better identify the prognosis of HICH patients undergoing stereotactic hematoma removal after 90 days.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a quantitative analysis of published studies on hematoma enlargement after intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Studies on hematoma enlargement after cerebral hemorrhage were retrieved from the Web of Science database on June 30, 2023. Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization, focusing on the quantitative characteristics of the literature. RESULTS A total of 444 articles were published in 161 journals, with 2161 authors from 41 countries and 717 institutions. The most published authors, countries, and institutions were Goldstein, the USA, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Stroke published the most studies, but the average citation number per year of Lancet Neurology far exceeded that of other journals. The research field of hematoma enlargement is mainly divided into 3 focuses, including mechanisms, identification (computed tomography signs, predictive models), and treatment (hemostasis, antihypertensive therapy). Most bursts in publication number have been since 2010, where the highest burst was from research on spot signs, and the latest burst focused on tranexamic acid. Treatment using tranexamic acid based on different computed tomography signs is a focus of current research, but the effectiveness still requires further exploration. CONCLUSIONS This bibliometric analysis analyzed the research framework and hotspots on hematoma enlargement after cerebral hemorrhage, which can help researchers better understand this field and provide potential suggestions for collaborations and research.

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
Medicine has many vividly named signs. We have compiled a list of radiological cerebral signs inspired by phenomena in outer space. These range from the well-known 'starry sky' appearance of neurocysticercosis or tuberculomas, to various lesser known signs including the 'starfield' pattern of fat embolism; 'sunburst' sign of meningiomas; 'eclipse' sign of neurosarcoidosis; 'comet tail' sign of cerebral metastases; 'Milky Way' sign of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; 'satellite' and 'black hole' sign of intracranial haemorrhage; 'crescent' sign of arterial dissection and 'crescent moon' sign of Hirayama disease.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate if nonlinear supervised learning classifiers based on non-contrast CT can predict functional prognosis at discharge in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hematoma. METHODS Retrospective, single-center, observational analysis of patients with a diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma confirmed by non-contrast CT between January 2016 and April 2018. Patients with HIE > 18 years and with TCCSC performed within the first 24 h of symptom onset were included. Patients with secondary spontaneous intracerebral hematoma and in whom radiomic variables were not available were excluded. Clinical, demographic and admission variables were collected. Patients were classified according to the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge into good (mRS 0-2) and poor prognosis (mRS 3-6). After manual segmentation of each spontaneous intracerebral hematoma, the radiomics variables were obtained. The sample was divided into a training and testing cohort and a validation cohort (70-30% respectively). Different methods of variable selection and dimensionality reduction were used, and different algorithms were used for model construction. Stratified 10-fold cross-validation were performed on the training and testing cohort and the mean area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. Once the models were trained, the sensitivity of each was calculated to predict functional prognosis at discharge in the validation cohort. RESULTS 105 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hematoma were analyzed. 105 radiomic variables were evaluated for each patient. P-SVM, KNN-E and RF-10 algorithms, in combination with the ANOVA variable selection method, were the best performing classifiers in the training and testing cohort (AUC 0.798, 0.752 and 0.742 respectively). The predictions of these models, in the validation cohort, had a sensitivity of 0.897 (0.778-1;95%CI), with a false-negative rate of 0% for predicting poor functional prognosis at discharge. CONCLUSION The use of radiomics-based nonlinear supervised learning classifiers are a promising diagnostic tool for predicting functional outcome at discharge in HIE patients, with a low false negative rate, although larger and balanced samples are still needed to develop and improve their performance.

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.

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.

Korean J Neurotrauma 2023; 19:333-347. [PMID: 37840614 PMCID: PMC10567521 DOI: 10.13004/kjnt.2023.19.e41] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
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
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
OBJECTIVES To investigate the predictive value of noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) models based on radiomics features and machine learning for early perihematomal edema (PHE) expansion in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed NCCT data from 214 patients with spontaneous ICH. All radiomics features were extracted from volume of interest of hematomas on admission scans. A total of 8 machine learning methods were applied for constructing models in the training and the test set. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and the areas under the curve were used to evaluate the predictive value. RESULTS A total of 23 features were finally selected to establish models of early PHE expansion after feature screening. Patients were randomly assigned into training (n = 171) and test (n = 43) sets. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the test set were 72.1%, 90.0%, and 66.7% for the support vector machine model; 79.1%, 70.0%, and 84.4% for the k-nearest neighbor model; 88.4%, 90.0%, and 87.9% for the logistic regression model; 74.4%, 90.0%, and 69.7% for the extra tree model; 74.4%, 90.0%, and 69.7% for the extreme gradient boosting model; 83.7%, 100%, and 78.8% for the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model; 72.1%, 100%, and 65.6% for the light gradient boosting machine model; and 60.5%, 90.0%, and 53.1% for the random forest model, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The MLP model seemed to be the best model for prediction of PHE expansion in patients with ICH. NCCT models based on radiomics features and machine learning could predict early PHE expansion and improve the discrimination of identify spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients at risk of early PHE expansion.

Abstract
Background and purpose The clinical features of intracranial cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the risk factors for hematoma expansion (HE) have been extensively studied. However, few studies have been performed in patients who live on a plateau. The natural habituation and genetic adaptation have resulted in differences in disease characteristics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences and consistency of clinical and imaging characteristics of patients in the plateaus of China compared with the plains, and to analyze the risk factors for HE of intracranial hemorrhage in the plateau patients. Methods From January 2020 to August 2022, we undertook a retrospective analysis of 479 patients with first-episode spontaneous intracranial basal ganglia hemorrhage in Tianjin and Xining City. The clinical and radiologic data during hospitalization were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzes were used to assess the risk factors for HE. Results HE occurred in 31 plateau (36.0%) and 53 plain (24.2%) ICH patients, and HE was more likely to occur in the plateau patients compared with the plain (p = 0.037). The NCCT images of plateau patients also showed heterogeneity of hematoma imaging signs, and the incidence of blend signs (23.3% vs. 11.0%, p = 0.043) and black hole signs (24.4% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.018) was significantly higher than in the plain. Baseline hematoma volume, black hole sign, island sign, blend sign, and PLT and HB level were associated with HE in the plateau. Baseline hematoma volume and the heterogeneity of hematoma imaging signs were independent predictors of HE in both the plain and plateau. Conclusion Compared with the plain, ICH patients in the plateau were more prone to HE. The patients showed the same heterogeneous signs on the NCCT images as in the plain, and also had predictive value for HE.

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
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.

A nomogram predictive model for long-term survival in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients without cerebral herniation at admission. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3126. [PMID: 36813798 PMCID: PMC9946945 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-26176-0] [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: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
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.

Outcome Prediction of Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage after Surgical Treatment Based on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography: A Multicenter Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041580. [PMID: 36836120 PMCID: PMC9961203 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to explore the value of a machine learning (ML) model based on radiomics features and clinical features in predicting the outcome of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) 90 days after surgery. A total of 348 patients with sICH underwent craniotomy evacuation of hematoma from three medical centers. One hundred and eight radiomics features were extracted from sICH lesions on baseline CT. Radiomics features were screened using 12 feature selection algorithms. Clinical features included age, gender, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), midline shift (MLS), and deep ICH. Nine ML models were constructed based on clinical feature, and clinical features + radiomics features, respectively. Grid search was performed on different combinations of feature selection and ML model for parameter tuning. The averaged receiver operating characteristics (ROC) area under curve (AUC) was calculated and the model with the largest AUC was selected. It was then tested using multicenter data. The combination of lasso regression feature selection and logistic regression model based on clinical features + radiomics features had the best performance (AUC: 0.87). The best model predicted an AUC of 0.85 (95%CI, 0.75-0.94) on the internal test set and 0.81 (95%CI, 0.64-0.99) and 0.83 (95%CI, 0.68-0.97) on the two external test sets, respectively. Twenty-two radiomics features were selected by lasso regression. The second-order feature gray level non-uniformity normalized was the most important radiomics feature. Age is the feature with the greatest contribution to prediction. The combination of clinical features and radiomics features using logistic regression models can improve the outcome prediction of patients with sICH 90 days after surgery.

Abstract
Introduction Automated diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage on head computed tomography (CT) plays a decisive role in clinical management. This paper presents a prior knowledge-based precise diagnosis of blend sign network from head CT scans. Method We employ the object detection task as an auxiliary task in addition to the classification task, which could incorporate the hemorrhage location as prior knowledge into the detection framework. The auxiliary task could help the model pay more attention to the regions with hemorrhage, which is beneficial for distinguishing the blend sign. Furthermore, we propose a self-knowledge distillation strategy to deal with inaccuracy annotations. Results In the experiment, we retrospectively collected 1749 anonymous non-contrast head CT scans from the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University. The dataset contains three categories: no intracranial hemorrhage (non-ICH), normal intracranial hemorrhage (normal ICH), and blend sign. The experimental results demonstrate that our method performs better than other methods. Discussion Our method has the potential to assist less-experienced head CT interpreters, reduce radiologists' workload, and improve efficiency in natural clinical settings.

Abstract
Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) is the most common type of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in China which is associated with high mortality and disability. We sought to develop and validate a noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based nomogram model to achieve short-term prognostic prediction for patients with HICH. We retrospectively studied 292 patients with HICH from two medical centers, and they were divided into training (n = 151), validation (n = 66), and testing cohorts (n = 75). Based on radiomics, univariate and multivariate, and logistic regression analyses, four models (black hole sign, clinical, radiomics score, and combined models) were established to predict the prognosis of patients with HICH 30 days after the onset. The results suggested that the combined model had the best predictive performance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.821, 0.816, and 0.815 in the training, validation, and testing cohorts, respectively. In addition, a radiomics-clinical (R-C) nomogram was visualized. A calibration curve analysis showed that the R-C nomogram had satisfactory calibration in the three cohorts. A decision curve analysis demonstrated that the R-C nomogram was clinically valuable. Our results suggest that the R-C nomogram can accurately and reliably predict the short-term prognosis of patients with HICH and provide a useful evaluation for making individualized treatment plans.

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
Background This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of radiomics using non-enhanced computed tomography (NCCT) for predicting hematoma expansion in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Throughout the inception of the project to April 11, 2022, a comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The methodological quality of studies in this analysis was assessed by the radiomics quality scoring system (RQS). A meta-analysis of radiomic studies based on NCCT for predicting hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage was performed. The efficacy of the radiomics approach and non-contrast CT markers was compared using network meta-analysis (NMA). Results Ten articles comprising a total of 1525 patients were quantitatively analyzed for hematoma expansion after cerebral hemorrhage using radiomics. Based on the included studies, the mean RQS was 14.4. The AUC value (95% confidence interval) of the radiomics model was 0.80 (0.76-0.83). Five articles comprising 846 patients were included in the NMA. The results synthesized according to Bayesian NMA revealed that the predictive ability of the radiomics model outperformed most of the NCCT biomarkers. Conclusions The NCCT-based radiomics approach has the potential to predict hematoma expansion. Compared to NCCT biomarkers, we recommend a radiomics approach. Standardization of the radiomics approach is required for further clinical implementation.

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.

Abstract
Purpose. To develop and validate a clinical-radiomics nomogram based on clinical risk factors and CT radiomics feature to predict hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) prognosis. Methods. A total of 195 patients with HICH treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into two cohorts for training (n = 138) and validation (n = 57) according to the ratio of 7 : 3. All CT radiomics features were extracted from intrahematomal, perihematomal, and combined intra- and perihematomal regions by using free open-source software called 3D slicer. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method was used to select the optimal radiomics features, and the radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated. The relationship between Rad-score, clinical risk factors, and the HICH prognosis was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and the clinical-radiomics nomogram was built. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the clinical-radiomics nomogram in predicting the prognosis of HICH. Results. A total of 1702 radiomics features were extracted from the CT images of each patient for analysis. By univariate and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses, age, sex, RBC, serum glucose, D-dimer level, hematoma volume, and midline shift were clinical risk factors for the prognosis of HICH. Rad-score and clinical risk factors developed the clinical-radiomics nomogram. The nomogram showed the highest predictive efficiency in the training cohort (AUC = 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.92 to 0.98) and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.90, 95% CI, 0.82 to 0.98). The calibration curve indicated that the clinical-radiomics nomogram had good calibration. DCA showed that the nomogram had high applicability in clinical practice. Conclusions. The clinical-radiomics nomogram incorporated with the radiomics features and clinical risk factors has good potential in predicting the prognosis of HICH.

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.

[PMID: 36510407 PMCID: PMC9668666 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2022.103257] [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: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Prognosis of primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) is important for treatment planning and patient management. However, only few clinical factors were reported to have prognostic value to PPH. Here, we propose a deep learning (DL) model that mines high-dimensional prognostic information from computed tomography (CT) images and combines clinical factors for predicting individualized prognosis of PPH. We proposed a multi-task DL model to learn high-dimensional CT features of hematoma and perihematomal areas for predicting the risk of 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality and 90-day functional outcome of PPH simultaneously. We further explored the combination of the DL model and clinical factors by building a combined model. All the models were trained in a training cohort (n = 219) and tested in an independent testing cohort (n = 35). The DL model achieved area under the curve (AUC) of 0.886, 0.886, and 0.759 in predicting 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality and 90-day functional outcome of PPH in the independent testing cohort, which improved over the previously reported new PPH score and the clinical model. When combining the DL model and clinical factors, the combined model achieved improved performance (AUC = 0.920, 0.941, and 0.894), indicating that DL model mines CT information that complements clinical factors. Through DL visualization technique, we found that the internal structure of hematoma and its expansion to perihematomal regions are important for predicting the prognosis of PPH. This DL model provides an easy-to-use way for predicting individualized prognosis of PPH by mining high-dimensional information from CT images, and showed improvement over clinical factors and present methods.

Intracerebral hemorrhage markers on non-contrast computed tomography as predictors of the dynamic spot sign on CT perfusion and associations with hematoma expansion and outcome. Neuroradiology 2022; 64:2135-2144.

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. [PMID: 36341120 PMCID: PMC9634162 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.999223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
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.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:992851. [PMID: 36147038 PMCID: PMC9485931 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.992851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims To verify the association between leukocyte subpopulations and hematoma expansion (HE) determined by two definitions in Chinese individuals who experienced spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods We enrolled 471 patients. The 1/2ABC formula was used to gauge hematoma volume. The outcome was whether HE appeared within 72 h. We used Definition 1 (volume increase ≥6 mL or 33%) and Definition 2 (volume increase ≥12.5 mL or 33%) to define HE, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between leukocyte subpopulations and HE. For statistically significant leukocyte subpopulations, we also performed subgroup analyses to assess differences between subgroups. Results Among 471 patients, 131 (27.81%) and 116 (24.63%) patients experienced HE based on Definition 1 and Definition 2, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, elevated monocyte count was associated with a higher risk of HE-Definition 1 [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–5.88, P = 0.0450] and HE-Definition 2 (aOR 2.54, 95% CI 1.04–6.20, P = 0.0399). Additionally, we compared the results before and after adjusting for coagulation parameters. Monocyte count was significantly correlated with HE only after adjusting for coagulation parameters. Increased neutrophil count was associated with a lower risk of HE-Definition 1 (aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84–1.00, P = 0.0463). No correlations were observed between lymphocyte and leukocyte counts and HE (P > 0.05), and no subgroup interactions were observed (interaction P > 0.05). Conclusion A higher monocyte count is associated with a higher HE risk regardless of the two definitions, after excluding the influence of the coagulation parameters, which facilitates risk stratification. Moreover, an increased neutrophil count is associated with a decreased risk of HE in the context of HE-Definition 1, which reflects the importance of standardizing the definition of HE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether clinicians agree in the detection of non-contrast CT markers of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion. METHODS From our local dataset, we randomly sampled 60 patients diagnosed with spontaneous ICH. Fifteen physicians and trainees (Stroke Neurology, Interventional and Diagnostic Neuroradiology) were trained to identify six density (Barras density, black hole, blend, hypodensity, fluid level, swirl) and three shape (Barras shape, island, satellite) expansion markers, using standardized definitions. Thirteen raters performed a second assessment. Inter- and intra-rater agreement were measured using Gwet's AC1, with a coefficient > 0.60 indicating substantial to almost perfect agreement. RESULTS Almost perfect inter-rater agreement was observed for the swirl (0.85, 95% CI: 0.78-0.90) and fluid level (0.84, 95% CI: 0.76-0.90) markers, while the hypodensity (0.67, 95% CI: 0.56-0.76) and blend (0.62, 95% CI: 0.51-0.71) markers showed substantial agreement. Inter-rater agreement was otherwise moderate, and comparable between density and shape markers. Inter-rater agreement was lower for the three markers that require the rater to identify one specific axial slice (Barras density, Barras shape, island: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.40-0.52 versus others: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.56-0.63). Inter-observer agreement did not differ when stratified for raters' experience, hematoma location, volume, or anticoagulation status. Intra-rater agreement was substantial to almost perfect for all but the black hole marker. CONCLUSION In a large sample of raters with different backgrounds and expertise levels, only four of nine non-contrast CT markers of ICH expansion showed substantial to almost perfect inter-rater agreement. KEY POINTS • In a sample of 15 raters and 60 patients, only four of nine non-contrast CT markers of ICH expansion showed substantial to almost perfect inter-rater agreement (Gwet's AC1> 0.60). • Intra-rater agreement was substantial to almost perfect for eight of nine hematoma expansion markers. • Only the blend, fluid level, and swirl markers achieved substantial to almost perfect agreement across all three measures of reliability (inter-rater agreement, intra-rater agreement, agreement with the results of a reference reading).

Abstract
To examine whether machine learning (ML) approach can be used to predict hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with accuracy and widespread applicability, we applied ML algorithms to multicenter clinical data and CT findings on admission. Patients with acute ICH from three hospitals (n = 351) and those from another hospital (n = 71) were retrospectively assigned to the development and validation cohorts, respectively. To develop ML predictive models, the k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) algorithm, logistic regression, support vector machines (SVMs), random forests, and XGBoost were applied to the patient data in the development cohort. The models were evaluated for their performance on the patient data in the validation cohort, which was compared with previous scoring methods, the BAT, BRAIN, and 9-point scores. The k-NN algorithm achieved the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.790 among all ML models, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 0.846, 0.733, and 0.775, respectively. The BRAIN score achieved the highest AUC of 0.676 among all previous scoring methods, which was lower than the k-NN algorithm (p = 0.016). We developed and validated ML predictive models of hematoma expansion in acute ICH. The models demonstrated good predictive ability, showing better performance than the previous scoring methods.

Meta-Analysis of Dynamic Electrocardiography in the Diagnosis of Myocardial Ischemic Attack of Coronary Heart Disease. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3472413. [PMID: 35712003 PMCID: PMC9197663 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3472413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Aims Patients with coronary artery disease (CHD) are prone to early myocardial ischemia; early diagnosis of myocardial ischemia is of great significance in judging disease progression and guiding clinical intervention. However, reports on the accuracy of dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD are inconsistent. The purpose of the current meta-analysis was to analyze the efficacy of ECG in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia attack in CHD. Methods Chinese database (Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI) and English database (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, SinoMed, and Cochrane Library) were searched. A study on the collection of dynamic ECG in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic attack of coronary heart disease to extract data and calculate sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (- LR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). Draw summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC), and calculate area under curve (AUC). Stata 15 software was used for meta-analysis. Results Twenty-seven literatures were included in this study. Meta-analysis results showed that Sen = 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73~0.82), Spe = 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68~0.82), +LR = 2.79 (95% CI: 2.17~3.59), −LR = 0.33 (95% CI: 0.27~0.40), AUC = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.80~0.87), and DOR = 9.66 (95% CI: 6.13~15.21). Subgroup analysis showed that the sensitivity of 12-lead ECG was higher than that of 3-lead ECG. The sensitivity and specificity of ST segment and QTc interphase changes were higher than those of ST segment changes alone (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dynamic ECG has high application value in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia attack of coronary heart disease. But it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory level of use alone. ST segment combined with QTc interval observation can improve the diagnostic accuracy. Synchronous observation of ST segment and QTc interval can improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Higher Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Burden in Patients With Small Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Front Neurosci 2022; 16:888198. [PMID: 35645707 PMCID: PMC9133886 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.888198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and hematoma volume in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Patients from a prospective ICH cohort were enrolled. Admission and follow-up CT scan within 72 h after onset were reviewed to calculate the final hematoma volume. We evaluated cortical superficial siderosis and the global SVD score, including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, enlarged perivascular space, and cerebral microbleeds on MRI. We conducted the multivariate logistic regression analyses to explore the association between SVD markers and small ICH, as well as hematoma volume. Hematoma location was stratified into lobar and non-lobar for subgroup analysis. Results A total of 187 patients with primary ICH (mean age 62.4 ± 13.4 years, 67.9% male) were enrolled. 94 (50.2%) patients had small ICH. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an association between global SVD score and small ICH [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.27, 95% CI 1.03–1.57, p = 0.027] and a trend of higher global SVD score towards non-lobar small ICH (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 0.95–1.58, p = 0.122). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, global SVD score was inversely related to hematoma volume of all ICH (β = −0.084, 95% CI −0.142 to −0.025, p = 0.005) and non-lobar ICH (β = −0.112, 95% CI −0.186 to −0.037, p = 0.004). Lacune (β = −0.245, 95% CI −0.487 to −0.004, p = 0.046) was associated with lower non-lobar ICH volume. Conclusion Global SVD score is associated with small ICH and inversely correlated with hematoma volume. This finding predominantly exists in non-lobar ICH.

Automatic and Efficient Prediction of Hematoma Expansion in Patients with Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Using Deep Learning Based on CT Images. J Pers Med 2022; 12:779. [PMID: 35629201 PMCID: PMC9147936 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12050779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have a high hematoma expansion (HE) incidence. Noninvasive prediction HE helps doctors take effective measures to prevent accidents. This study retrospectively analyzed 253 cases of hypertensive intraparenchymal hematoma. Baseline non-contrast-enhanced CT scans (NECTs) were collected at admission and compared with subsequent CTs to determine the presence of HE. An end-to-end deep learning method based on CT was proposed to automatically segment the hematoma region, region of interest (ROI) feature extraction, and HE prediction. A variety of algorithms were employed for comparison. U-Net with attention performs best in the task of segmenting hematomas, with the mean Intersection overUnion (mIoU) of 0.9025. ResNet-34 achieves the most robust generalization capability in HE prediction, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.9267, an accuracy of 0.8827, and an F1 score of 0.8644. The proposed method is superior to other mainstream models, which will facilitate accurate, efficient, and automated HE prediction.

Abstract
Background and Purpose The ability of attenuation value of the non-hypodense region of hematoma in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) for predicting hematoma expansion (HE) remains unclear. Our purpose is to explore this relationship. Methods Two cohorts of patients were collected for analysis. The region where we measured hematoma attenuation values was limited to the non-hypodense region that was not adjacent to the normal brain tissue on NCCT. The critical attenuation value was derived via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis in the derivation cohort and its predictive ability was validated in the validation cohort. Independent relationships between predictors, such as critical attenuation value of the non-hypodense region and HE were analyzed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic analysis. Results The results showed that the attenuation value <64 Hounsfield units (HU) was independently associated with HE [odds ratio (OR), 4.118; 95% confidential interval (CI), 1.897–9.129, p < 0.001] and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and area under the curve (AUC) for predicting HE were 36.11%, 81.71%, 1.97, 0.78, 44.8%, 75.7%, and 0.589, respectively. Conclusions Our research explored and validated the relationship between the attenuation value of the non-hypodense region of hematoma and HE. The attenuation value < 64 HU was an appropriate indicator of early HE.

Abstract
Background:
Hematoma enlargement (HE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a therapeutic target for improving outcomes. Hemostatic therapies to prevent HE may be more effective the earlier they are attempted. An understanding of HE in first 1 to 2 hours specifically in the prehospital setting would help guide future treatment interventions in this time frame and setting.
Methods:
Patients with spontaneous ICH within 4 hours of symptom onset were prospectively evaluated between May 2014 and April 2020 as a prespecified substudy within a multicenter trial of prehospital mobile stroke unit versus standard management. Baseline computed tomography scans obtained <1, 1 to 2, and 2 to 4 hours postsymptom onset on the mobile stroke unit in the prehospital setting were compared with computed tomography scans repeated 1 hour later and at 24 hours in the hospital. HE was defined as >6 mL if baseline ICH volume was
<
20 mL and 33% increase if baseline volume >20 mL. The association between time from symptom onset to baseline computed tomography (hours) and HE was investigated using Wilcoxon rank-sum test when time was treated as a continuous variable and using Fisher exact test when time was categorized. Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests evaluated differences in baseline volumes and HE. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with HE and variable selection was performed using cross-validated L1-regularized (Lasso regression). This study adhered to STROBE guidelines (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) for cohort studies.
Results:
One hundred thirty-nine patients were included. There was no difference between baseline ICH volumes obtained <1 hour (n=43) versus 1 to 2 hour (n=51) versus >2 hours (n=45) from symptom onset (median [interquartile range], 13 mL [6–24] versus 14 mL [6–30] versus 12 mL [4–19];
P
=0.65). However, within the same 3 time epochs, initial hematoma growth (volume/time from onset) was greater with earlier baseline scanning (median [interquartile range], 17 mL/hour [9–35] versus 9 mL/hour [5–23]) versus 4 mL/hour [2–7];
P
<0.001). Forty-nine patients had repeat scans 1 hour after baseline imaging (median, 2.3 hours [interquartile range. 1.9–3.1] after symptom onset). Eight patients (16%) had HE during that 1-hour interval; all of these occurred in patients with baseline imaging within 2 hours of onset (5/18=28% with baseline imaging within 1 hour, 3/18=17% within 1–2 hour, 0/13=0% >2 hours;
P
=0.02). HE did not occur between the scans repeated at 1 hour and 24 hours. No association between baseline variables and HE was detected in multivariable analyses.
Conclusions:
HE in the next hour occurs in 28% of ICH patients with baseline imaging within the first hour after symptom onset, and in 17% of those with baseline imaging between 1 and 2 hours. These patients would be a target for ultraearly hemostatic intervention.

Abstract
Background Hematoma expansion is an independent predictor of patient outcome and mortality. The early diagnosis of hematoma expansion is crucial for selecting clinical treatment options. This study aims to explore the value of a deep learning algorithm for the prediction of hematoma expansion from non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan through external validation. Methods 102 NCCT images of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) patients diagnosed in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The initial computed tomography (CT) scan images were evaluated by a commercial Artificial Intelligence (AI) software using deep learning algorithm and radiologists respectively to predict hematoma expansion and the corresponding sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the two groups were calculated and compared. Comparisons were also conducted among gold standard hematoma expansion diagnosis time, AI software diagnosis time and doctors’ reading time. Results Among 102 HICH patients, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of hematoma expansion prediction in the AI group were higher than those in the doctor group(80.0% vs 66.7%, 73.6% vs 58.3%, 75.5% vs 60.8%), with statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The AI diagnosis time (2.8 ± 0.3 s) and the doctors’ diagnosis time (11.7 ± 0.3 s) were both significantly shorter than the gold standard diagnosis time (14.5 ± 8.8 h) (p < 0.05), AI diagnosis time was significantly shorter than that of doctors (p < 0.05). Conclusions Deep learning algorithm could effectively predict hematoma expansion at an early stage from the initial CT scan images of HICH patients after onset with high sensitivity and specificity and greatly shortened diagnosis time, which provides a new, accurate, easy-to-use and fast method for the early prediction of hematoma expansion.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association of imaging signs, and to establish a predictive model through selecting highly relevant imaging signs in combination with clinical parameters for hematoma expansion.Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) patients who received 2 consecutive noncontrast computed tomography scans were examined and recruited through January 2014 to December 2020. Demographic information and clinical characteristics were collected. Two experienced radiologists reviewed baseline noncontrast computed tomography images to assess the imaging characteristics. Correlation analysis was analyzed with Pearson and Spearman correlation tests. The association between clinical and imaging predictors with hematoma expansion was evaluated in multivariate models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was adopted to evaluate predictive performance.A total of 232 ICH patients, with mean age of 59.73 years, and 31% of female were included, among which, 32 patients occurred with hematoma expansion. For sex, ICH density, low density in hematoma, the midline shift, and Glasgow Coma Scale score, liquid level, H-tra, edema Cor, H Volume, time from onset to examination, there were significant differences between the 2 groups. As for imaging signs, only blend sign showed a significant difference, that patients with blend sign had a higher incidence of ICH expansion. The logistic analysis found that radiation attenuation, liquid level, the midline shift, Glasgow Coma Scale score, history of ischemic stroke, and smoking could predict the occurrence of ICH expansion.In summary, the model combined radiological characteristics with clinical indicators showed considerable predictive performance. Further validation is needed to verify the findings and help transfer to clinical practice.
