RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: A focal intimal disruption (FID) is a risk factor for adverse aorta-related events in patients with acute type B intramural haematoma. This study evaluated the impact of FIDs on overall survival with a selective intervention strategy for large or growing FIDs. Additionally, this study evaluated the risk factors associated with the growth of FIDs. METHODS: This retrospective study included all consecutive patients admitted for acute type B intramural haematomas between November 2004 and April 2021. The primary outcome was overall survival. The secondary outcome was the cumulative incidence of composite aortic events and the growth of FIDs. The latter was calculated on centreline-reconstructed computed tomography images. RESULTS: A total of 105 patients were included. A total of 106 FIDs were identified in 73 patients (73/105, 69.5%). The 1- and 5-year cumulative incidence rates of composite aortic events were 36.2% and 39.2%, respectively. The 1- and 5-year overall survival was 93.3% and 81.5%, respectively. Initial maximal aortic diameter and large FIDs during acute phase were significant risk factors for composite aortic events, but not risk factors for overall survival. The early appearance interval of an FID was a significant risk factor for growth of an FID. CONCLUSIONS: With a selective intervention strategy for large or growing FIDs, the presence of large FIDs during the acute phase does not affect overall survival. The early appearance interval was associated with the growth of FIDs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether perineal wound complications in the first birth, alone or in conjunction with obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI), is associated with an increased risk of OASI in the second birth. DESIGN: Nationwide population-based cohort study. SETTING: Sweden. POPULATION: Women (n = 411 317) with first and second singleton vaginal births in Sweden, 2001-2019. METHODS: Data on diagnostic codes and surgical procedures were retrieved from the Swedish Medical Birth Register and the Swedish Patient Register. A perineal wound complication was defined as wound infection, dehiscence or perineal haematoma within 2 months of childbirth. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Associations between wound complications in the first birth and OASI in the second birth were investigated with logistic regression and presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS: In total, 2619 (0.6%) women had a wound complication in the first birth, and 5318 (1.3%) had an OASI in the second birth. Women with a wound complication but no OASI in the first birth had more than doubled odds of OASI in the second birth (aOR 2.73, 95% CI 2.11-3.53). Women with OASI and a wound complication in the first birth had almost tenfold odds (aOR 9.97, 95% CI 6.53-15.24) of recurrent OASI. CONCLUSIONS: Perineal wound complication in the first birth increases the likelihood of OASI in a subsequent birth.

The following questions guided the study: Can the use of fibrin glue in drainless rhytidoplasty reduce hematoma prevalence, seroma prevalence increase patient satisfaction or decrease the length of hospital in the adult population compared with standard treatment? The following inclusion and exclusion criteria apply: The procedure performed was rhytidoplasty for both groups. Participants were limited to adults who did not have any other procedure performed during the study. The intervention consisted of the use of fibrin glue without drains compared to the control group, in which drains and/or pressure dressing were applied. Databases: clinicaltrials.gov, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, mRCT, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Embase, VHL, GHL were searched on 03/25/2023 by 2 different investigators. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0 was used. Five studies were included with a total number of 1277 participants (2554 face sides). The cumulative hematoma rate was OR 0.47 (95% CI 0.26-0.84) in favor of using fibrin glue. Insufficient data were available to assess seroma rate, patient satisfaction, and length of hospital stay. The risk of study bias was judged to be low and moderate. The certainty for the use of fibrin sealant versus drainage is high and the importance of outcomes is rated as important in the GRADEpro GDT tool. Fibrin glue use is more beneficial comparing to drainage in patients undergoing rhytidectomy in terms of hematoma prevalence. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023421475).Level of Evidence I This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with puerperal genital hematoma (PGHA) and analyze the management strategies employed and the resulting maternal outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study examined the pregnant women delivering vaginally with PGHA in Peking University Third Hospital during January 2002 to December 2021. Exploratory data analysis was performed to assess mean, standard deviation (SD), frequency, percentage and percentiles. Independent-samples t-test was performed for continuous variables. Chi-squared test was performed to compare categorical data. RESULTS: A total of 47 women with PGHA were included, and 94 matched controls were enrolled during the same study period. Compared with the control group, labor induction (34.0% vs. 9.6%, P = 0.000) and episiotomy (66.0% vs. 31.9%, P = 0.000) were more frequently performed in PGHA cases. There was a significantly higher incidence of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) (53.2% vs. 6.4%, P = 0.000) in PGHA patients than in controls. Compared with the patients with <5 cm hematoma, the proportion of prenatal anemia (25.8% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.027) and the incidence of PPH (67.7% vs. 25.0%, P = 0.005) were significantly higher in patients with ≥5 cm hematoma. In comparison, the active period was significantly shorter (3.1 ± 1.9 vs. 5.1 ± 3.0, P = 0.031) in patients with ≥5 cm hematoma. There were significant differences in perineal pain and swelling (31.3% vs. 67.7%, P = 0.017), vulva hematoma (93.8% vs. 48.4%, P = 0.002) and surgical treatment (62.5% vs. 96.8%, P = 0.002). Nearly half of the patients in the ≥5 cm group underwent secondary suture (41.9% vs. 6.3%, P = 0.011). In patients with PGHA detected after more than 2 h, the body mass index was substantially higher (24.5 ± 4.3 vs. 21.4 ± 2.7, P = 0.011), and the weight gain during pregnancy (14.1 ± 4.3 vs. 11.4 ± 3.5, P = 0.021) was significantly lower. Compared with the patients in PGHA without PPH, age (31.7 ± 4.4 vs. 29.4 ± 2.6, P = 0.033) and newborn birth weight (3367 ± 390 g vs. 3110 ± 419 g, P = 0.045) were considerably higher in PGHA cases with PPH, and the platelet count ([182 ± 44] × 109/L vs. [219 ± 51] × 109/L, P = 0.015) was significantly lower. CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant women who underwent labor induction and episiotomy had a higher incidence of PGHA. The PGHA-related PPH rate is significantly increased. Active surgical treatment is recommended for patients with ≥5 cm hematoma.

BACKGROUND: Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common congenital bleeding disorder. This autosomal dominant condition arises from quantitative or qualitative defects of Von Willebrand factor. To our knowledge, this study leveraged a national database to characterize the largest VWD cohort of total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients to date, assessing 90-day postoperative adverse events and 5-year revision-free survival. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis were identified from January 2010 to October 2021 in a nationwide database. Patients who had and did not have VWD were matched (4:1) on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index and compared with multivariable logistic regression. Patients were then categorized based upon venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis prescription patterns to compare bleeding and thrombotic adverse events. RESULTS: Of 544,851 THA patients, VWD was identified in 309 patients (0.06%). The matched cohorts contained 1,221 patients who did not have VWD and 306 patients who have VWD. On multivariable analysis, VWD patients had increased odds of 90-day VTE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.86) and hematoma (OR = 3.40) (P < .05 for all). No difference in 5-year revision-free survival was found. The VWD patients receiving aspirin or no prescriptions had greater odds of VTE (OR = 2.39, P = .048). Those on other chemoprophylaxis agents had greater odds of hematoma (OR = 4.84, P = .006). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with VWD undergoing THA had increased odds of 90-day VTE if using aspirin or no prescriptions, or hematoma if using other chemoprophylaxis. There is a delicate balancing act of clotting versus bleeding that must be considered in managing such patients, but it was reassuring that no difference in overall 5-year revision-free survival was found.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the retrospective cohort study was to investigate the prognostic effect of subchorionic hematomas (SCH) in the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed women achieving singleton pregnancy by PGT-A or PGT-SR from January 2017 to January 2022. Patients were enrolled in the study if they had a viable intrauterine pregnancy at ultrasound between 6 0/7 and 8 0/7 weeks of gestation. Pregnancy outcomes as well as the incidence of maternal complications were compared between patients with and without SCH. Logistic regression was used for adjusting for potential confounding factors. RESULTS: A total of 1539 women were included, of which 298 with SCH and 1241 with non-SCH. The early miscarriage rate in SCH group was significantly higher than that in the non-SCH group (10.1% vs. 5.6%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-3.16, P = 0.003). The live birth rate in SCH group was significantly lower than that in the non-SCH group. (85.6% vs. 91.2%, aOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.84, P = 0.005). In addition, SCH group had an increased risk of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) (8.9% vs. 5.2%, P = 0.022), especially in hematoma with bleeding (19.3% vs. 6.0%, P = 0.002). The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), major congenital abnormalities rate, normal birth weight rate and low birth weight rate were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of SCH in the first trimester was associated with worse pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer, including an increased risk of early miscarriage and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, along with a reduced live birth rate.

BACKGROUND: Many blood banks use upper age limits for donors out of concern for a higher donor complication rate in older donors. Experienced donors are known to have lower donor complication rates, and older donors are often more experienced, confounding the effect of age on donor complication rate. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied donor complication rates in whole blood, plasma, and plateletpheresis donors from 2012 to 2022. Donor complication rates were compared between age groups in inexperienced (<20th donation) and experienced (≥20th donation) donors. In addition to this direct comparison, we made use of logistic regression with finer-grained experience groups, to further quantify the effects of age, experience and other factors on donor complication rate. RESULTS: While overall rate of vasovagal reaction was lower, rate of moderate/severe vasovagal syncope was highest in 70-79 year donors, however, only reached significance for plasma donors. Furthermore, rates of failed stab were highest in this age group. Hematoma rate showed a U-shaped pattern with regard to age, where the rate was not higher in the 70-79 year age group than in the 18-23 year age group. Pain decreased with age, however, rates were higher in the 70-79 year age group than in the 65-69 year age group. DISCUSSION: When properly accounting for donor experience, donor complication rate profiles clearly change with age. The increased risk for moderate/severe vasovagal syncope in older donors should be clearly communicated. Extra caution is needed if these donors are accepted for first-time donations.

Haematoma is an early complication of tissue expander placement and can lead to infection, capsule contracture and various complications, hindering successful reconstruction. However, no scientific models can accurately predict the risk of haematoma following tissue expansion. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for haematoma following tissue expander placement. The medical records of patients who underwent expander placement between 2001 and 2021 were obtained from the clinical database of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Xijing Hospital. A total of 4579 consecutive patients with 7080 expanders and 179 expanded pocket haematomas were analysed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified adult age (P = 0.006), male sex (P < 0.001), scar reconstruction (P = 0.019), perioperative hypertension (P < 0.001), face and neck location (P = 0.002) and activated partial thromboplastin time above the normal range (P < 0.001) as risk factors for haematoma. Therefore, these were included in the prediction model, and a nomogram was constructed. The discrimination of the nomogram was robust (area under the curve: 0.78; 95% confidence interval: 0.72-0.83). Further, the prediction model had a strong fit (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = 0.066) and maintained similar discrimination after considering performance optimism (bootstrapped area under the curve: 0.79; 95% confidence interval: 0.73-0.84). This clinical prediction model was created using a generalisable dataset and can be utilised to obtain valid haematoma predictions after expander placement, assisting surgeons in implementing preventive measures or interventions to reduce the occurrence of haematoma.

BACKGROUND: Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is independently associated with a long-term increased risk of major arterial ischemic events. While the relationship between ICH location and ischemic risk has been studied, whether hematoma volume influences this risk is poorly understood. METHODS: We pooled individual patient data from the MISTIE III (Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation Phase 3) and the ATACH-2 (Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage-2) trials. The exposure was hematoma volume, treated as a continuous measure in the primary analysis, and dichotomized by the median in the secondary analyses. The outcome was a symptomatic, clinically overt ischemic stroke, adjudicated centrally within each trial. We evaluated the association between hematoma volume and the risk of an ischemic stroke using Cox regression analyses after adjustment for demographics, vascular comorbidities, and ICH characteristics. RESULTS: Of 1470 patients with ICH, the mean age was 61.7 (SD, 12.8) years, and 574 (38.3%) were female. The median hematoma volume was 17.3 mL (interquartile range, 7.2-35.7). During a median follow-up of 107 days (interquartile range, 91-140), a total of 30 ischemic strokes occurred, of which 22 were in patients with a median ICH volume of ≥17.3 mL and a cumulative incidence of 4.6% (95% CI, 3.1-7.1). Among patients with a median ICH volume <17.3 mL, there were 8 ischemic strokes with a cumulative incidence of 3.1% (95% CI, 1.7-6.0). In primary analyses using adjusted Cox regression models, ICH volume was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.02 per mL increase [95% CI, 1.01-1.04]). In secondary analyses, ICH volume of ≥17.3 mL was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 2.5 [95% CI, 1.1-7.2]), compared with those with an ICH volume <17.3 mL. CONCLUSIONS: In a heterogeneous cohort of patients with ICH, initial hematoma volume was associated with a heightened short-term risk of ischemic stroke.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an association between intrauterine haematoma (IUH) and pregnancy outcomes in patients who undergo fetal reduction after double embryo transfer (DET), and if so, what is the relationship between IUH-related characteristics and pregnancy outcomes? DESIGN: Clinical information and pregnancy outcomes of women who underwent fetal reduction after DET were analysed. Patients with other systematic diseases, ectopic pregnancy or heterotopic pregnancy, monochorionic twin pregnancies and incomplete data were excluded. Stratification of IUH pregnancies was undertaken based on IUH-related characteristics. The main outcome was incidence of fetal demise (<24 weeks), with other adverse pregnancy outcomes considered as secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Thirty-four IUH patients and 136 non-IUH patients who underwent fetal reduction after DET were included based on a 1:4 match for age, cycle type and fertilization method. IUH patients had a higher incidence of early fetal demise (20.6% versus 7.4%, Pâ¯=â¯0.048), threatened abortion (48.1% versus 10.3%, P<0.001) and postpartum haemorrhage (PPH; 14.8% versus 4.0%, Pâ¯=â¯0.043) compared with non-IUH patients. IUH was an independent risk factor for early fetal demise [adjusted OR (aOR) 3.34, 95% CI 1.14-9.77] and threatened abortion (aOR 8.61, 95% CI 3.28-22.61) after adjusting for potential confounders. IUH pregnancies undergoing fetal reduction that resulted in miscarriage had larger IUH volumes and earlier diagnosis (both P < 0.03). However, IUH characteristics (i.e. volume, changing pattern, presence or absence of cardiac activity) were not associated with threatened abortion or PPH. CONCLUSIONS: Fetal reduction should be performed with caution in IUH pregnancies after DET as the risk of fetal demise is relatively high. Particular attention should be given to IUH patients with early signs of threatened abortion and inevitable fetal demise.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether different grades of subchorionic hematoma (SCH) are involved in the timing of birth and the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes in singleton pregnant women. METHODS: A total of 171 women with singleton pregnancies, 72 of whom had SCH before 20 weeks and between 12 and 20 weeks of gestational age (GA), were included in this study conducted between January 2018 and December 2021. These patients were divided into three subgroups based on the size of the subchorionic hematoma on ultrasound imaging. Baseline demographic data, obstetric outcomes, and risk factors for subchorionic hematoma were compared for the two groups. RESULTS: A higher number of pregnancies from the SCH group resulted in miscarriage (30.56% versus 2.02%, p < 0.0001), early preterm birth (8.33% versus 1.01%, p = 0.0035), premature rupture of membranes (15.28% versus 4.04%, p = 0.0103), fetal growth restriction (9.72% versus 0%, p = 0.0015), and delivery 13.18 days earlier (274.34 ± 11.25 versus 261.16 ± 29.80, p = 0.0013) than those from the control group. Compared with SCH detected before 12 weeks of GA, the rate of miscarriage increased, and the live birth rate decreased significantly in patients with SCH caught between 12 and 20 weeks of GA. With the increase in hematoma size, the likelihood of miscarriage increased significantly. Further analysis found that delivery occurred earlier in the medium/large SCH group (271.49 ± 23.61 versus 253.28 ± 40.68/261.77 ± 22.11, p = 0.0004/0.0073) but not in the small SCH group (274.34 ± 11.25 versus 267.85 ± 21.01, p = 0.2681) compared to the control group. Our results also showed that the anterior placenta (52.04% versus 33.33%, p = 0.0005, OR = 0.3137, 95% CI [0.1585, 0.601]) is a protective factor for subchorionic hematoma. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that women with SCH are at a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and are independently associated with miscarriage, early preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, and fetal growth restriction. A subchorionic hematoma, especially detected between 12 and 20 weeks of GA, is very likely to cause miscarriage or preterm birth in women with a medium or large subchorionic hematoma.

INTRODUCTION: Sinonasal organizing hematoma (OH) is a rare, nonneoplastic lesion that often presents with epistaxis, a reddish mass, and destruction of the involved sinonasal structures. Due to its rarity, the demographics, diagnostic modalities, treatment strategies, and outcomes have not yet been studied in a large, long-term study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospect cohort of 112 sinonasal OH patients treated between 1997 and 2020 in a tertiary, university hospital were evaluated. Demographics, systemic comorbidities, sinonasal surgery history, serum laboratory tests, radiological findings, and treatment results were collected. The present study aimed to assess the accuracy of preoperative computed tomography (CT), Gadolinum-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR), and punch biopsies in detecting sinonasal OH as the most likely diagnosis. In addition, incidental differences by age and year of diagnosis were calculated using the Poisson log-linear regression model. RESULTS: The median age was 44, and 58% were male. Fewer than 20% of these cases had a chronic systemic comorbidity, bleeding tendency, or sinonasal surgery history. MR had the highest accuracy of (87%) to detect sinonasal OH as the most likely diagnosis, compared with contrast-enhanced-CT (53%), punch biopsy (49%), and non-enhanced-CT (16%) (all <0.05). Sinonasal OH incidence did not vary by age, but the yearly rate significantly increased by 1.05 times over 23 years (p < 0.05). Notably, 84% of 112 patients received surgical removal through the assistance of an endoscope, and none had substantial bleeding without preoperative embolization. CONCLUSION: Sinonasal OH was observed regardless of age, sex, systemic comorbidities, bleeding tendency, prior sinonasal surgery, or trauma. Preoperative MR gives the highest accuracy for detecting this disease. Sinonasal OH may be safely managed with endoscopic-assisted surgery removal without embolization. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 134:1581-1590, 2024.

Radial artery occlusion (RAO) has been the most common postprocedural complication of transradial artery access. The optimal method of prevention of RAO is still lacking. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of patent hemostasis on early (24 hours) and late (2 weeks) RAO prevention. The Open Radial Artery Study was a single-arm, prospective, and multicenter study. The primary end points were early and late RAO at the vascular access site after transradial coronary procedures. Secondary end points were access site hematoma, pseudoaneurysm formation, arteriovenous fistula, and nerve injury. A total of 2,181 patients were analyzed (67% male, mean age 68 years). The mean interventional duration and hemostatic times were 75.6 ± 55.6 and 60 ± 5.6 minutes, respectively. Radial artery spasm occurred in 10% of patients (n = 218). Catheter kinking, radial artery rupture, or dissection were not observed during the procedure. RAO, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, or nerve damage was not observed in any of the patients in the early or late period. In patients who undergo coronary diagnostic or interventional procedures through transradial artery access, the patent hemostasis method seems a critical step in the prevention of early and late RAO.

Limited incision facelifts (LIFs) have gained popularity as an alternative to traditional facelift procedures. While surgical techniques vary, these approaches share a common goal: to rejuvenate the face while minimizing scar visibility. Previous studies also suggest that the reduced tissue dissection in LIFs can lead to decreased postoperative swelling, shorter recovery periods, and fewer complications. In this systematic review we delved into the literature on LIFs, shedding light on the various surgical approaches and their respective safety profiles. A systematic review was conducted by independent evaluators who followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. A random-effects model was utilized to summarize complications data, and meta-regressions were conducted to analyze associations with operative variables. The analysis encompassed a total of 20 articles, comprising data from 4451 patients. The vast majority (84%) of these patients underwent either local wide-awake surgery or conscious sedation, while the remaining 16% underwent general anesthesia. Our analysis revealed an overall complication frequency of 3.2%, with hematoma being the most common complication (2%), followed by temporary nerve injury (0.2%), and skin necrosis or wounds (0.06%). Notably, hematomas rarely required operating room interventions. Use of drains or tissue sealants was associated with an 86% decrease in complications. Limited incision facelifts can be performed with a low complication rate, utilizing a variety of techniques. Utilization of tissue sealants and drains may limit hematoma formation, which is the most common complication.

OBJECTIVES: Surgical site infections (SSI) are common causes of postoperative morbidity at cesarean delivery (CD). The objective of this study was to compare the risk of SSI and other wound complications associated with different suture materials for subcuticular skin closure at CD. DATA SOURCES: We searched Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, and Clinicaltrials.gov from inception to June 3, 2021, and limited our search to English, peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. STUDY SELECTION: Of 1541 titles identified, 4 studies met the selection criteria and were included. Studies were included if the population was pregnant individuals undergoing transverse incision primary or repeat, elective or emergent CD with subcuticular skin closure, and if outcomes related to SSI, wound seroma, hematoma, or dehiscence were reported. We completed the assessment using Covidence review management software. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Two authors independently reviewed studies and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' tool for randomized trials (RoB 2.0) and the Cochrane Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies-of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tools for cohort studies. We compared SSI risk and secondary outcomes of hematoma, seroma, and dehiscence between skin closure with monofilament (poliglecaprone 25 or polypropylene) versus multifilament (polyglactin 910) sutures using a fixed-effects meta-analysis. Statistical heterogeneity was estimated using the I2 statistic. Monofilament sutures were associated with a reduced risk of SSI (RR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.98, I2 = 0%) compared to multifilament sutures. There was no difference in the risk of secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION: Monofilament suture for subcuticular skin closure at CD was associated with decreased risk of SSI compared to multifilament suture.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the connection between the leakage sign (LS) and hematoma expansion (HE) in cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The investigation employs dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DECTA). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted, in which clinical and DECTA imaging data were collected from intracerebral hemorrhage patients within 6 hours of onset between January 2021 and June 2023. Exposure factors included DE-LS and traditional imaging biomarkers. The occurrence of HE on computed tomography rescanned within 24 hours was the observed outcome. Exposed and confounding factors were considered in both univariate and multivariate regression analyses based on the results. Logistic and adjusted Poisson regressions were employed, and odds ratios (ORs) and relative risks (RRs) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: The study enrolled a total of 90 patients, of whom 32 cases manifested HE, while 58 cases did not exhibit HE. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in parameters such as admission diastolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein, Glasgow Coma Scale, baseline hematoma volume, and imaging biomarkers like DE-spot sign and DE-LS. The OR value of DE-LS was determined as 48.21, with an RR value of 7.51. Multivariate adjusted Poisson regression analysis demonstrated that DE-LS was a robust independent predictor (RR = 4.11, 95% confidence interval: 1.49-11.35; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: DECTA-based DE-LS stands out as an independent predictor of HE. The utilization of RR values over OR values is endorsed when assessing the risk of HE prediction.

INTRODUCTION: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) incidence follows both seasonal and diurnal patterns with greater severity reported in nighttime hemorrhages. These differences have been attributed to variations in the coagulation cascade, blood pressure, and sleep-wake cycle that all have their own rhythmicity. The purpose of this analysis was to validate these trends in a large nationwide database of automated ICH detection scans and evaluate for differences in hematoma volume by image acquisition time. METHODS: Serial non-contrast head CT (NCHCT) data, processed with an automated imaging software (iSchemaView), was acquired from U.S. hospitals between 1/1/2020 and 12/31/2021. Final exclusion criteria included: (1) patient age ≤ 25, (2) hematoma volume ≥ 100 ml, (3) hematoma volume ≤ 0.4 ml. Imaging time was subdivided into three epochs: (1) Night: 23:00h-06:59h, (2) Day: 07:00h-14:59h, and (3) Evening: 15:00h-22:59h. RESULTS: A total of 19,397 scans were included in the final analysis with a median ICH volume of 2.9 ml and mean volume of 13.23 mL; 15.6% of scans had volumes above 30 ml. Peak imaging occurred around noon. Hematoma volume was significantly different across timepoints (p = 0.003), with ICHs presenting at night (average volume 14.2 ml) larger than those presenting during the day (12.9 ml, p = 0.002) or evening (13.0 ml, p = 0.012). CONCLUSION: In this real world, multi-site data set, we show similar diurnal trends in ICH incidence as previously reported and detected subtle differences in volume based on time of imaging. Further research is required to elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms for these differences.

BACKGROUND: Although type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) including classic double-channel aorta and intramural hematoma (IMH) is a life-threatening condition, the prognostic impact and predictors of IMH remain to be established. The present study evaluated the prevalence, baseline characteristics, and outcomes of IMH as compared with classic non-thrombosed type A AAD. METHODS: This multicenter registry in Japan retrospectively included 703 patients with type A AAD. IMH was defined as a crescentic or circular area along the ascending aortic wall without contrast enhancement on computed tomography (CT). Non-thrombosed type A AAD was defined as the classic double-channel ascending aorta on contrast-enhanced CT. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: Of the 703 patients with type A AAD, 312 (44.3%) had IMH. Older age was an only baseline patient factor significantly associated with the presence of IMH in the multivariable analysis. The longitudinal extent of dissection was greater in patients with classic non-thrombosed AAD than those with IMH, resulting in an increased risk of end-organ malperfusion in the classic AAD group. During the hospitalization, 41 (13.1%) and 85 (21.7%) patients with and without IMH died (p < 0.001). IMH was associated with lower in-hospital mortality in a multivariable model, irrespective of age and the implementation of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that IMH on CT was frequent among patients with type A AAD. Although IMH was more likely to be present in the elderly, its effect on the better survival was independent of age and surgical treatment.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the size and duration of asymptomatic subchorionic hematoma and pregnancy outcomes in women with singleton pregnancies. METHODS: This was a retrospective study that enrolled 701 singleton pregnant women who were diagnosed with asymptomatic subchorionic hematoma by ultrasound at 5-10 gestational weeks. The control group recruited 640 normal pregnant women without subchorionic hematoma who were matched with subchorionic hematoma group on baseline characteristics. The pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the associations of the size and duration of subchorionic hematoma with pregnancy outcomes were analyzed by logistic regression model. RESULTS: Compared with the normal pregnancy group, the incidence of, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational thrombocytopenia, placenta adhesion, fetal growth restriction, macrosomia in subchorionic hematoma group were higher (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, the hematoma size was positively associated with the occurrence of gestational hypothyroidism (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.029[1.004-1.054]), intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.095[1.047-1.146]), term premature rupture of membranes (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.044[1.005-1.085]), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.030[1.0004-1.060]), gestational thrombocytopenia (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.078 [1.045-1.113]), placenta adhesion (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.054 [1.027-1.082]), and the duration of hematoma was positively associated with the incidence of term premature rupture of membranes (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.070[1.027-1.115]), gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.938 [1.886-1.993]) and fetal growth restriction (adjusted OR[95%CI]: 1.194 [1.124-1.268]). CONCLUSIONS: The presence, size and duration of a first-trimester asymptomatic subchorionic hematoma may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes at later gestations such as term premature rupture of membranes and fetal growth restriction.
