RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a condition associated with high mortality and morbidity. Survivors may require prolonged intubation with mechanical ventilation (MV). The aim of this study was to analyze the predictors of extubation failure and prolonged MV in patients who undergo surgical evacuation. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on adult patients with ICH who underwent MV for at least 48 h and survived > 14 days after surgery. The demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and Glasgow Coma Scale score were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 134 patients with ICH were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 60.34 ± 15.59 years, and 79.9% (n = 107) were extubated after satisfying the weaning parameters. Extubation failure occurred in 11.2% (n = 12) and prolonged MV in 48.5% (n = 65) patients. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that a white blood cell count > 10,000/mm3 at the time of extubation was an independent predictor of reintubation. Meanwhile, age and initial Glasgow Coma Scale scores were predictors of prolonged MV. CONCLUSIONS: This study provided the first comprehensive characterization and analysis of the predictors of extubation failure and prolonged MV in patients with ICH after surgery. Knowledge of potential predictors is essential to improve the strategies for early initiation of adequate treatment and prognosis assessment in the early stages of the disease.

INTRODUCTION: Primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBSH) is the most fatal subtype of intracerebral hemorrhage and is associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to develop a prediction model for predicting 30-day mortality and functional outcome in patients with PBSH. METHODS: We reviewed records of 642 consecutive patients with first-time PBSH from three hospitals between 2016 and 2021. Multivariate logistic regression was used to establish a nomogram in a training cohort. Cutoff points of the variables were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and certain points were assigned to these predictors to produce the PBSH score. The nomogram and PBSH score were compared with other scoring systems for PBSH. RESULTS: Five independent predictors, comprised of temperature, pupillary light reflex, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission, and hematoma volume, were incorporated to construct the nomogram. The PBSH score consisted of 4 independent factors with individual points assigned as follows: temperature, ≥38°C (=1 point), <38°C (=0 points); pupillary light reflex, absence (=1 point), presence (=0 points); GCS score 3-4 (=2 points), 5-11 (=1 point), and 12-15 (=0 points); PBSH volume >10 mL (=2 points), 5-10 mL (=1 point), and <5 mL (=0 points). Results showed that the nomogram was discriminative in predicting both 30-day mortality (area under the ROC curve [AUC] of 0.924 in the training cohort, and 0.931 in the validation cohort) and 30-day functional outcome (AUC of 0.887). The PBSH score was discriminative in predicting both 30-day mortality (AUC of 0.923 in the training cohort and 0.923 in the validation cohort) and 30-day functional outcome (AUC of 0.887). The prediction performances of the nomogram and the PBSH score were superior to the intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) score, primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) score, and new PPH score. CONCLUSIONS: We developed and validated two prediction models for 30-day mortality and functional outcome in patients with PBSH. The nomogram and PBSH score could predict 30-day mortality and functional outcome in PBSH patients.

INTRODUCTION: Stroke has become a major disease that threatens the global population's health and is a major public health problem that needs to be solved in China. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the trend of the mortality of stroke and its epidemic characteristic of stroke death. METHODS: Death cases of stroke were reported to the national death registry system by the medical staff of all medical institutions, and the population data every year were obtained from District or County's Statistic Bureau in Chongqing. They were analyzed to calculate the mortality, age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese standardization population (ASMRC), age-specific mortality, proportion, and annual percent of change (APC) according to the ICD-10 code. ASMRC was based on the standard population of the 6th census in China, 2010. The stroke mortality of each subgroup was compared using the χ2 test. Trend analysis was presented by APC. RESULTS: The crude mortality of stroke increased from 96.29 per 100,000 in 2012 to 115.93 per 100,000 significantly, with the APC of 2.02% (t = 2.82, p = 0.022) in Chongqing. ASMRC of stroke was 56.47 per 100,000 in 2012 and 54.70 per 100,000 in 2021, and its trend change was stable (APC = -0.01, t = 0.07, p = 0.947). The crude mortality of stroke in males was higher than that in females every year (p < 0.05). The death proportion of intracerebral hemorrhage dwindled from 60.53% in 2012 to 49.88% in 2021, whereas the death proportion of ischemic stroke increased from 20.92% in 2012 to 39.96% in 2021. The average age of stroke death was delayed from 73.43 years old in 2012 to 76.52 years old in 2021 significantly (t = 18.12, p < 0.001). The percentage of stroke death at home increased from 75.23% in 2012 to 79.23% in 2021, while the percentage of stroke death at hospitals decreased from 17.89% in 2012 to 15.89% in 2021. CONCLUSION: The crude mortality of stroke surged, and intracerebral hemorrhage was the main death cause of all subtypes. The mortality of stroke in males and rural residents was higher than that in females and urban residents. Most stroke deaths occurred at home. Male and rural residents were crucial populations for stroke prevention and control. There should be improved medical resources in rural areas and enhanced capability of stroke diagnosis and treatment.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most morbid of all stroke types with a high early mortality and significant early disability burden. Traditionally, outcome assessments after ICH have mirrored those of acute ischemic stroke, with 3 months post-ICH being considered a standard time point in most clinical trials, observational studies, and clinical practice. At this time point, the majority of ICH survivors remain with moderate to severe functional disability. However, emerging data suggest that recovery after ICH occurs over a more protracted course and requires longer periods of follow-up, with more than 40% of ICH survivors with initial severe disability improving to partial or complete functional independence over 1 year. Multiple other domains of recovery impact ICH survivors including cognition, mood, and health-related quality of life, all of which remain under studied in ICH. To further complicate the picture, the most important driver of mortality after ICH is early withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies, before initiation of treatment and evaluating effects of prolonged supportive care, influenced by early pessimistic prognostication based on baseline severity factors and prognostication biases. Thus, our understanding of the true natural history of ICH recovery remains limited. This review summarizes the existing literature on outcome trajectories in functional and nonfunctional domains, describes limitations in current prognostication practices, and highlights areas of uncertainty that warrant further research.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic implications of inflammatory cytokine levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) upon their initial hospital admission. METHODS: Our cohort included 100 patients diagnosed with acute SICH, presenting to the Department of Neurosurgery. Additionally, we recruited 50 individuals without central nervous system (CNS) pathology, treated concurrently at our facility, as controls. CSF samples, collected upon hospital entry, were quantitatively assessed for 10 inflammatory cytokines using the Mesoscale Discovery Platform (MSD, Rockville, MD, USA) electrochemiluminescence technology, followed by validation through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: We observed a marked elevation of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α in the CSF of the SICH subgroup compared to controls. Higher Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores in SICH patients corresponded with lower CSF concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α, indicating an inverse relationship. Notably, CSF inflammatory cytokine levels were consistently higher in SICH patients with hydrocephalus than in those without. Increases in IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α in the CSF were notably more pronounced in the poor prognosis group (Glasgow Outcome Scale, GOS 1-3) compared to those with a favorable prognosis (GOS 4-5). The AUC values for these cytokines in predicting SICH prognosis were 0.750, 0.728, 0.717, and 0.743, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Initial CSF levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α upon admission provide significant insights into the severity of neural damage and are robust indicators for prognosis in SICH patients.

BACKGROUND: Although contrast extravasation on follow-up head computed tomography (CT) is frequently visualized after endovascular treatment, this phenomenon is rare after intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Here, we report a case of contrast extravasation mimicking intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with intraventricular extension after intravenous thrombolytic treatment and computed tomography angiography (CTA). CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old man presented with right-sided hemiparesis and hypoesthesia. Initial non-contrast head CT was negative for intracranial hemorrhage and acute ischemic changes. He received intravenous treatment with tenecteplase 3.8 h after the onset of stroke. CTA of the head and neck was performed at 4.3 h after stroke onset. It showed no stenosis or occlusion of the carotid and major intracranial arteries. At about 1.5 h after CTA, the right-sided hemiparesis deteriorated, accompanied by drowsiness, aphasia, and urinary incontinence. Immediate head CT showed hyperdense lesions with mild space-occupying effect in the left basal ganglia and both lateral ventricles. The hyperdense lesions were reduced in size on follow-up CT after 5 h. Two days later, CT showed that the hyperdense lesions in the lateral ventricles almost completely disappeared and only a small amount remained in the infarcted area. CONCLUSIONS: Contrast extravasation into the brain tissue and lateral ventricles, mimicking ICH with intraventricular extension, could occur after intravenous thrombolytic treatment and CTA in a patient with AIS, which might lead to misdiagnosis and wrong treatment of the patient. The rapid resolution of intracranial hyperdense lesions is key to differentiate contrast extravasation from ICH on serial non-enhanced CT.

BACKGROUND: Hematoma expansion is a critical factor associated with increased mortality and adverse outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Identifying and preventing hematoma expansion early on is crucial for effective therapeutic intervention. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between the Red cell distribution width to lymphocyte ratio (RDWLR) and hematoma expansion in ICH patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 303 ICH patients treated at our department between May 2018 and May 2023. Demographic, clinical, radiological, and laboratory data, including RDWLR upon admission, were assessed. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to determine independent associations between various variables and hematoma expansion. RESULTS: The study included 303 ICH patients, comprising 167 (55.1%) males and 136 (44.9%) females, with a mean age of 65.25 ± 7.32 years at admission. Hematoma expansion occurred in 73 (24.1%) cases. Multivariate analysis revealed correlations between hematoma volume at baseline (OR, 2.73; 95% CI: 1.45 -4,78; P < 0.001), admission systolic blood pressure (OR, 2.98 ; 95% CI: 1.54-4.98; P < 0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (OR, 1.58; 95% CI: 1.25-2.46; P = 0.017), and RDWLR (OR, 1.58; 95% CI: 1.13-2.85; P = 0.022) and hematoma expansion in these patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that RDWLR could serve as a new inflammatory biomarker for hematoma expansion in ICH patients. This cost-effective and readily available biomarker has the potential for early prediction of hematoma expansion in these patients.

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to explore the clinical characteristics of apoplectic intratumoral hemorrhage in gliomas and offer insights for improving the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. METHODS: We analyzed the clinical data of 35 patients with glioma and hemorrhage. There were eight cases of multiple cerebral lobe involvement, and 22 cases involved a single lobe. Twenty-one patients had a preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of ≥ 9 and had a craniotomy with tumor resection and hematoma evacuation after undergoing preoperative preparation. A total of 14 patients with GCS < 9, including one with thalamic hemorrhage breaking into the ventricles and acute obstructive hydrocephalus, underwent craniotomy for tumor resection after external ventricular drainage (EVD). One patient had combined thrombocytopenia, which was surgically treated after platelet levels were normalized through transfusion. The remaining 12 patients received immediate intervention in the form of craniotomy hematoma evacuation and tumor resection. RESULTS: We performed subtotal resection on three tumors of thalamic origin and two tumors of corpus callosum origin, but we were able to successfully resect all the tumors in other locations that were gross total resection Pathology results showed that 71.43% of cases accounted for WHO-grade 4 tumors. Among the 21 patients with a GCS score of ≥ 9, two died perioperatively. Fourteen patients had a GCS score < 9, of which eight patients died perioperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a preoperative GCS score ≥ 9 who underwent subemergency surgery and received aggressive treatment showed a reasonable prognosis. We found their long-term outcomes to be correlated with the pathology findings. On the other hand, patients with a preoperative GCS score < 9 required emergency treatment and had a high perioperative mortality rate.

INTRODUCTION: Intracerebral hemorrhage represents 15 % of all strokes and it is associated with a high risk of post-stroke epilepsy. However, there are no reliable methods to accurately predict those at higher risk for developing seizures despite their importance in planning treatments, allocating resources, and advancing post-stroke seizure research. Existing risk models have limitations and have not taken advantage of readily available real-world data and artificial intelligence. This study aims to evaluate the performance of Machine-learning-based models to predict post-stroke seizures at 1 year and 5 years after an intracerebral hemorrhage in unselected patients across multiple healthcare organizations. DESIGN/METHODS: We identified patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) without a prior diagnosis of seizures from 2015 until inception (11/01/22) in the TriNetX Diamond Network, using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) I61 (I61.0, I61.1, I61.2, I61.3, I61.4, I61.5, I61.6, I61.8, and I61.9). The outcome of interest was any ICD-10 diagnosis of seizures (G40/G41) at 1 year and 5 years following the first occurrence of the diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage. We applied a conventional logistic regression and a Light Gradient Boosted Machine (LGBM) algorithm, and the performance of the model was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC), the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), the F1 statistic, model accuracy, balanced-accuracy, precision, and recall, with and without seizure medication use in the models. RESULTS: A total of 85,679 patients had an ICD-10 code of intracerebral hemorrhage and no prior diagnosis of seizures, constituting our study cohort. Seizures were present in 4.57 % and 6.27 % of patients within 1 and 5 years after ICH, respectively. At 1-year, the AUROC, AUPRC, F1 statistic, accuracy, balanced-accuracy, precision, and recall were respectively 0.7051 (standard error: 0.0132), 0.1143 (0.0068), 0.1479 (0.0055), 0.6708 (0.0076), 0.6491 (0.0114), 0.0839 (0.0032), and 0.6253 (0.0216). Corresponding metrics at 5 years were 0.694 (0.009), 0.1431 (0.0039), 0.1859 (0.0064), 0.6603 (0.0059), 0.6408 (0.0119), 0.1094 (0.0037) and 0.6186 (0.0264). These numerical values indicate that the statistical models fit the data very well. CONCLUSION: Machine learning models applied to electronic health records can improve the prediction of post-hemorrhagic stroke epilepsy, presenting a real opportunity to incorporate risk assessments into clinical decision-making in post-stroke care clinical care and improve patients' selection for post-stroke epilepsy research.

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are predictive of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the risk of ICH in patients with CMBs who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a study on 329 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI and were evaluated using a 3T MRI scanner. Based on T2*-weighted imaging, patients were classified into three groups: no CMBs, < 5 CMBs, or ≥ 5 CMBs. We determined the occurrence of ICH during follow-up. RESULTS: At least 1 CMB was found in 109 (33%) patients. The mean number of CMBs per patient was 2.9 ± 3.6. Among the 109 patients with CMBs, 16 (15%) had ≥ 5 CMBs. Coronary stent implantation was performed in 321 patients (98%). DAPT was prescribed for 325 patients (99%). During a mean follow-up period of 2.3 years (interquartile range, 1.9-2.5 years), ICH occurred in one patient (1.1%) with four CMBs. There were no significant differences in the incidence of ICH (0% vs. 1.1% vs. 0%; p = 0.28). However, the rate of DAPT at 6 months of follow-up was significantly lower in patients with ≥ 5 CMBs than in patients with no CMBs or < 5 CMBs (89% vs. 91% vs. 66%, p = 0.026). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in systemic blood pressure during follow-up (123 ± 16 vs. 125 ± 16 vs. 118 ± 11 mmHg; p = 0.40). CONCLUSION: Although a substantial number of patients who underwent PCI had cerebral microbleeds, at approximately two years of follow-up, intracerebral hemorrhage was very rare in our study population.

BACKGROUND: The correlation between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and the prognosis of ischemic stroke has been well established. This study aims to assess the influence of the TyG index on the clinical outcomes of critically ill individuals suffering from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with ICH were retrospectively retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD). Various statistical methods, including restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression, multivariable logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis, were employed to examine the relationship between the TyG index and the primary outcomes of ICH. RESULTS: A total of 791 patients from MIMIC-IV and 1,113 ones from eICU-CRD were analyzed. In MIMIC-IV, the in-hospital and ICU mortality rates were 14% and 10%, respectively, while in eICU-CRD, they were 16% and 8%. Results of the RCS regression revealed a consistent linear relationship between the TyG index and the risk of in-hospital and ICU mortality across the entire study population of both databases. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between the TyG index and the likelihood of in-hospital and ICU death among ICH patients in both databases. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis further revealed an interaction between patients' age and the TyG index in relation to in-hospital and ICU mortality among ICH patients. Notably, for patients over 60 years old, the association between the TyG index and the risk of in-hospital and ICU mortality was more pronounced compared to the overall study population in both MIMIC-IV and eICU-CRD databases, suggesting a synergistic effect between old age (over 60 years) and the TyG index on the in-hospital and ICU mortality of patients with ICH. CONCLUSIONS: This study established a positive correlation between the TyG index and the risk of in-hospital and ICU mortality in patients over 60 years who diagnosed with ICH, suggesting that the TyG index holds promise as an indicator for risk stratification in this patient population.

OBJECTIVE: Secretoneurin may play a brain-protective role. We aim to discover the relationship between serum secretoneurin levels and severity plus neurological outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, serum secretoneurin levels were measured in 110 ICH patients and 110 healthy controls. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and hematoma volume were used to assess stroke severity. Poor prognosis was defined as Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores of 1-3 at 90 days after ICH. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to determine independent correlation of serum secretoneurin levels with severity and poor prognosis. Under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, prognostic ability of serum secretoneurin levels was assessed. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) model and subgroups analysis were used for discovering association of serum secretoneurin levels with risk of poor prognosis. Calibration curve and decision curve were evaluated to confirm performance of nomogram. RESULTS: Serum secretoneurin levels of patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls. Serum secretoneurin levels of patients were independently correlated with GCS scores and hematoma volume. There were 42 patients with poor prognosis at 90 days following ICH. Serum secretoneurin levels were significantly higher in patients with poor outcome than in those with good outcome. Under the ROC curve, serum secretoneurin levels significantly differentiated poor outcome. Serum secretoneurin levels ≥ 22.8 ng/mL distinguished patients at risk of poor prognosis at 90 days with a sensitivity of 66.2% and a specificity of 81.0%. Besides, serum secretoneurin levels independently predicted a 90-day poor prognosis. Subgroup analysis showed that serum secretoneurin levels had non-significant interactions with other variables. The nomogram, including independent prognostic predictors, showed reliable prognosis capability using calibration curve and decision curve. Area under the curve of the predictive model was significantly higher than those of GCS scores and hematoma volume. CONCLUSION: Serum secretoneurin levels are strongly related to ICH severity and poor prognosis at 90 days after ICH. Thus, serum secretoneurin may be a promising prognostic biomarker in ICH.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe form of stroke with high morbidity and mortality, accounting for 10-15% of all strokes globally. Recent advancements in prognostic biomarkers and predictive models have shown promise in enhancing the prediction and management of ICH outcomes. Serum sestrin2, a stress-responsive protein, has been identified as a significant prognostic marker, correlating with severity indicators such as NIHSS scores and hematoma volume. Its levels predict early neurological deterioration and poor prognosis, offering predictive capabilities comparable to traditional measures. Furthermore, a deep learning-based AI model demonstrated superior performance in predicting early hematoma enlargement, with higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional methods. Additionally, long-term outcome prediction models using CT radiomics and machine learning have achieved high accuracy, particularly with the Random Forest algorithm. These advancements underscore the potential of integrating novel biomarkers and advanced computational techniques to improve prognostication and management of ICH, aiming to enhance patient care and survival rates. The incorporation of serum sestrin2, AI, and machine learning in predictive models represents a significant step forward in the clinical management of ICH, offering new avenues for research and clinical application.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe stroke type with high mortality and disability rates, and traditional prognostic tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) have limited predictive power. Emerging research suggests that serum secretoneurin could serve as a promising biomarker for ICH. Elevated secretoneurin levels have been associated with poorer outcomes and may offer more precise prognostic insights compared to conventional methods. This biomarker's potential to enhance outcome prediction underscores the need for further research to validate its efficacy and integrate it into clinical practice. Future studies should also explore additional biomarkers and advanced predictive models.

Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) may be involved in inflammatory response and secondary brain injury after acute brain injury. We gauged serum DKK-1 levels and further assessed its correlation with disease severity and investigated its predictive value for 90-day prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Serum DKK-1 levels were measured in 128 sICH patients and 128 healthy controls. The severity of sICH was assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and hematoma volumes. Poor prognosis was referred to as a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score of 1-3 at 90 days after stroke. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify associations of serum DKK-1 levels with disease severity, early neurological deterioration (END) and poor prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was built to investigate the prognostic predictive capability. The serum DKK-1 levels of patients were significantly higher than those of controls (median, 4.74 ng/mL versus 1.98 ng/mL; P < 0.001), and were independently correlated with hematoma volumes (ρ = 0.567, P < 0.001; t = 3.444, P = 0.001) and GCS score (ρ = -0.612, P < 0.001; t = -2.048, P = 0.043). Serum DKK-1 significantly differentiated patients at risk of END (area under ROC curve (AUC), 0.850; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.777-0.907; P < 0.001) and poor prognosis (AUC, 0.830; 95% CI, 0.753-0.890; P < 0.001), which had similar prognostic ability, as compared to GCS scores and hematoma volumes. Subsequent Logistic regression model affirmed that GCS score, hematoma volume, and serum DKK-1 levels were independently associated with END and poor prognosis at 90 days after sICH. The models, which contained them, performed well using ROC curve analysis and calibration curve analysis. Serum DKK-1 levels are markedly associated with disease severity, END and 90-day poor prognosis in sICH. Hence, serum DKK-1 is presumed to be used as a potential prognostic biomarker of sICH.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this document is to provide recommendations on the formal reliability of major clinical predictors often associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) neuroprognostication. METHODS: A narrative systematic review was completed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology and the Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Timing, Setting questions. Predictors, which included both individual clinical variables and prediction models, were selected based on clinical relevance and attention in the literature. Following construction of the evidence profile and summary of findings, recommendations were based on Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria. Good practice statements addressed essential principles of neuroprognostication that could not be framed in the Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Timing, Setting format. RESULTS: Six candidate clinical variables and two clinical grading scales (the original ICH score and maximally treated ICH score) were selected for recommendation creation. A total of 347 articles out of 10,751 articles screened met our eligibility criteria. Consensus statements of good practice included deferring neuroprognostication-aside from the most clinically devastated patients-for at least the first 48-72 h of intensive care unit admission; understanding what outcomes would have been most valued by the patient; and counseling of patients and surrogates whose ultimate neurological recovery may occur over a variable period of time. Although many clinical variables and grading scales are associated with ICH poor outcome, no clinical variable alone or sole clinical grading scale was suggested by the panel as currently being reliable by itself for use in counseling patients with ICH and their surrogates, regarding functional outcome at 3 months and beyond or 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS: These guidelines provide recommendations on the formal reliability of predictors of poor outcome in the context of counseling patients with ICH and surrogates and suggest broad principles of neuroprognostication. Clinicians formulating their judgments of prognosis for patients with ICH should avoid anchoring bias based solely on any one clinical variable or published clinical grading scale.

BACKGROUND: Stroke patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) follow a particular survival pattern with a high short-term mortality, but if they survive the first 30âdays, a relatively favourable subsequent survival is observed. OBJECTIVES: The development and validation of two prognostic models predicting 30-day mortality for ICU patients with ischaemic stroke and for ICU patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), analysed separately, based on parameters readily available within 24âh after ICU admission, and with comparison with the existing Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE-IV) model. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: All 85 ICUs participating in the Dutch National Intensive Care Evaluation database. PATIENTS: All adult patients with ischaemic stroke or ICH admitted to these ICUs between 2010 and 2019. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Models were developed using logistic regressions and compared with the existing APACHE-IV model. Predictive performance was assessed using ROC curves, calibration plots and Brier scores. RESULTS: We enrolled 14â303 patients with stroke admitted to ICU: 8422 with ischaemic stroke and 5881 with ICH. Thirty-day mortality was 27% in patients with ischaemic stroke and 41% in patients with ICH. Important factors predicting 30-day mortality in both ischaemic stroke and ICH were age, lowest Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score in the first 24âh, acute physiological disturbance (measured using the Acute Physiology Score) and the application of mechanical ventilation. Both prognostic models showed high discrimination with an AUC 0.85 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84 to 0.87] for patients with ischaemic stroke and 0.85 (0.83 to 0.86) in ICH. Calibration plots and Brier scores indicated an overall good fit and good predictive performance. The APACHE-IV model predicting 30-day mortality showed similar performance with an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.85 to 0.87) in ischaemic stroke and 0.87 (0.86 to 0.89) in ICH. CONCLUSION: We developed and validated two prognostic models for patients with ischaemic stroke and ICH separately with a high discrimination and good calibration to predict 30-day mortality within 24âh after ICU admission.

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in serum has been shown as a biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI) which is a significant global public health concern. Accurate and rapid detection of serum GFAP is critical for TBI diagnosis. In this study, a time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic test strip (TRFIS) was proposed for the quantitative detection of serum GFAP. This TRFIS possessed excellent linearity ranging from 0.05 to 2.5 ng/mL for the detection of serum GFAP and displayed good linearity (Y = 598723X + 797198, R2 = 0.99), with the lowest detection limit of 16 pg/mL. This TRFIS allowed for quantitative detection of serum GFAP within 15 min and showed high specificity. The intra-batch coefficient of variation (CV) and the inter-batch CV were both < 4.0%. Additionally, this TRFIS was applied to detect GFAP in the serum samples from healthy donors and patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and the results of TRFIS could efficiently discern the patients with cerebral hemorrhage from the healthy donors. Our developed TRFIS has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high accuracy, and a wide linear range and is suitable for rapid and quantitative determination of serum GFAP on-site.

OBJECTIVES: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate and facilitates vascular calcification. We aimed at investigating serum ALP levels in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and ascertaining its relationship to severity and prognosis. METHODS: Serum ALP levels from 148 patients and 148 healthy controls were detected. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score and hematoma volume at admission were recorded to evaluate hemorrhagic severity. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score > 2 at 90 days after onset was judged as a poor prognosis. RESULTS: Serum ALP levels in patients with ICH were substantially elevated compared with healthy controls, and were significantly related to hematoma volume and GCS score. Serum ALP levels significantly distinguished ICH patients at risk for unfavorable prognosis. Serum ALP levels > 78.5 U/L in ICH patients may indicated a unfavorable prognosis with 69.1 % sensitivity and 83.6 % specificity, and served as an independent predictor for unfavorable prognosis. CONLUSIONS: Elevated serum ALP levels were intimately connected with increased severity and 90-day unfavorable prognosis in patients with ICH. Serum ALP could be a potential biomarker for severity and prognosis of ICH.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Non-O blood types are known to be associated with thromboembolic complications (TECs) in population-based studies. TECs are known drivers of morbidity and mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, yet the relationships of blood type on TECs in this patient population are unknown. We sought to explore the relationships between ABO blood type and TECs in ICH patients. METHODS: Consecutive adult ICH patients enrolled into a prospective observational cohort study with available ABO blood type data were analyzed. Patients with cancer history, prior thromboembolism, and baseline laboratory evidence of coagulopathy were excluded. The primary exposure variable was blood type (non-O versus O). The primary outcome was composite TEC, defined as pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction, during the hospital stay. Relationships between blood type, TECs and clinical outcomes were separately assessed using logistic regression models after adjusting for sex, ethnicity and ICH score. RESULTS: Of 301 ICH patients included for analysis, 44% were non-O blood type. Non-O blood type was associated with higher admission GCS and lower ICH score on baseline comparisons. We identified TECs in 11.6% of our overall patient cohort. . Although TECs were identified in 9.9% of non-O blood type patients compared to 13.0% in O blood type patients, we did not identify a significant relationship of non-O blood type with TECs (adjusted OR=0.776, 95%CI: 0.348-1.733, p=0.537). The prevalence of specific TECs were also comparable in unadjusted and adjusted analyses between the two cohorts. In additional analyses, we identified that TECs were associated with poor 90-day mRS (adjusted OR=3.452, 95% CI: 1.001-11.903, p=0.050). We did not identify relationships between ABO blood type and poor 90-day mRS (adjusted OR=0.994, 95% CI:0.465-2.128, p=0.988). CONCLUSIONS: We identified that TECs were associated with worse ICH outcomes. However, we did not identify relationships in ABO blood type and TECs. Further work is required to assess best diagnostic and prophylactic and treatment strategies for TECs to improve ICH outcomes.
