RESUMO
Resumen El accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) constituye la principal causa de discapacidad de origen neuro- lógico en los adultos mayores a 40 años y la cuarta causa de muerte en Argentina. En los últimos diez años las publicaciones indexadas relacionadas al tratamiento del ACV isquémico fueron más numerosas que las de ACV hemorrágico. El objetivo de este material es proporcionar recomendaciones locales y actualiza- das del abordaje de pacientes con hematoma intraparenquimatoso espontáneo durante la internación. Para la redacción de este manuscrito se convocó a especialistas en esta enfermedad que conformaron grupos de trabajo. Se plantearon 10 tópicos centrales expresados como epidemiologia, atención inicial, imágenes, tratamiento de la presión arterial, reversión de antitrombóticos, indicación de cirugía, profilaxis anticonvulsivante, pronóstico, prevención de complicaciones y reinicio de antitrombóticos. De cada tópico se plantearon mediante preguntas PICO los interrogantes más frecuentes de la práctica diaria. Luego de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, se generaron recomendaciones evaluadas mediante sistema GRADE y consensuadas entre autores y pacientes.
Abstract Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in people over 40 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death in Argentina. In the last ten years, the indexed publications related to the treatment of ischemic stroke were more numerous than those of hemorrhagic stroke. The objective of this material is to provide local and updated recommendations for the management of patients with spontaneous intracere- bral hemorrhage during hospitalization. For the writing of this manuscript, diferent specialists were convened to form working groups. Ten central topics expressed as epidemiology, initial care, imaging, blood pressure treatment, reversal of antithrombotics, indication for surgery, seizure prophylaxis, prognosis, prevention of complications and resumption of antithrombotics were raised. For each topic, the most frequent questions of daily practice were raised through PICO questions. After a systematic review of the literature, recommendations were generated, evaluated using the GRADE system and agreed between authors and patients.

Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in people over 40 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death in Argentina. In the last ten years, the indexed publications related to the treatment of ischemic stroke were more numerous than those of hemorrhagic stroke. The objective of this material is to provide local and updated recommendations for the management of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization. For the writing of this manuscript, diferent specialists were convened to form working groups. Ten central topics expressed as epidemiology, initial care, imaging, blood pressure treatment, reversal of antithrombotics, indication for surgery, seizure prophylaxis, prognosis, prevention of complications and resumption of antithrombotics were raised. For each topic, the most frequent questions of daily practice were raised through PICO questions. After a systematic review of the literature, recommendations were generated, evaluated using the GRADE system and agreed between authors and patients.

BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia has a detrimental effect in several acute neurological critical illnesses. No consensus exists on the optimal management of hyperglycemia in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Our aim was to determine whether blood glucose (BG) would predict 30-day mortality in sICH. METHODS: All patients with a well-defined diagnosis of sICH admitted into 24 h in three primary referred centers were included in this prospective observational follow-up study. Patients had extensive monitoring of BG values and those with BG values >8.29 mmol/l (150 mg/dl) received a variable intravenous insulin dose to maintain BG concentrations during the first 72 h after sICH between 3.32 and 8.29 mmol/l (60-150 mg/dl) using pre-specified insulin dosing schedule protocol. RESULTS: Between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2003, 295 consecutive patients (mean +/- SD age 66 +/- 12 years) were prospectively included. A 1.0 mmol/l (18 mg/dl) increase in the BG concentration at admission was associated with a 33% mortality increase (OR: 1.33; 95%CI: 1.22-1.46; P < 0.0001). Adjusting for demographics, risk factors, stroke severity, and surgery there was no change in the increased risk. During the first 12 h after sICH, the insulin treatment protocol was enabling to reduce mortality (OR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.14-1.61; P = 0.0005, per 1 IU increase) while thereafter this association was greatly attenuated and not more significant. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperglycemia is a common condition after sICH and may worsen prognosis. Very early insulin therapy apparently does not improve prognosis. These results raise concern about routine clinical practice implementation of this intervention without any evidence from randomized trials.
