Risk calculators and risk factors for Hemorrhagic stroke natural history

Overview

Natural history

In intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), underlying small vessel disease may result in acute vessel rupture. This acute vessel rupture can progress can result in brain injury by folllowing mechanisms:

All of these mechnisems can lead to perihematomal edema formation and secondary brain injury. Additionally, continued bleeding, or hematoma expansion, occurs in many patients—either continued bleeding from the primary source or secondary bleeding at the periphery of the hemorrhage.

Intracerebral hemorrhage also can result in dysphagia and aspiration. These two are the major risk factors for the development of pneumonia in patients with stroke.[1] Heart failure can occur as the result of myocardial ischemia, infarction, stress-induced cardiomyopathy, or uncontrolled hypertension in the setting of acute Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).[2][3]

Complications

The frequency of medical complications after acute stroke is high, although there is substantially more information reported for ischemic stroke than intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

The most common complications following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include:[4][5][6]

Approximately 50% of deaths after stroke are attributed to medical complications, usually after 7 days of hospitalization. Stroke patients who experience medical complications while in the hospital have increased mortality up to 4 years after the initial event.

Prognosis

Wide range of factors associated with outcome after acute hemorrhagic stroke. Identification of these factors result in the development of models to predict mortality and functional outcome. These prediction models include individual patient characteristics such as:[7][8][9][10]

Prognostic factors

Intracranial hemorrhage

  • Despite aggressive and newer management strategies, the prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage is very poor. However, some studies suggested that excellent medical care has a direct impact on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) morbidity and mortality.[11]
  • Case-fatality at 1 month is over 40 % and has not improved in last few decades.[12]

Prognsostic factors in Intracerebral hemorrhage include:[9]

Poor prognostic factors Associations
Fever[13]
  • Associated with early neurologic deterioration
Higher initial blood pressure[14]
  • Associated with early neurologic deterioration and increased mortality
Higher creatinine[15]
Higher serum glucose[14]
  • Associated with hematoma expansion and worse outcome
Warfarin-related hemorrhages[16][17]
  • Associated with an increased hematoma volume, greater risk of expansion, and increased morbidity and mortality
Warfarin therapy with an INR >3[18]
  • Associated with larger initial hemorrhage volume as well as poorer outcomes
Intraventricular hemorrhage[19][20]
  • IVH occurs in approximately 45% of patients with spontaneous ICH and is an independent factor associated with poor outcome

Subarachnoid hemorrhage

The Hunt and Hess scale describes the severity of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and is used as a predictor of survival.[21]

Grading Associations Survival
Grade 1
  • Asymptomatic
  • Minimal headache and slight neck stiffness
  • 70% survival
Grade 2
  • 60% survival
Grade 3
  • Drowsy
  • Minimal neurologic deficit
  • 50% survival
Grade 4
  • 20% survival
Grade 5
  • 10% survival

2015 AHA/ASA Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage[22]

Outcome Prediction and Withdrawal of Technological Support: Recommendation

Class III (Harm)
"1. Current prognostic models for individual patients early after ICH are biased by failure to account for the influence of withdrawal of support and early DNAR orders. DNAR status should not limit appropriate medical and surgical interventions unless otherwise explicitly indicated (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. Aggressive care early after ICH onset and postponement of new DNAR orders until at least the second full day of hospitalization is probably recommended. Patients with preexisting DNAR orders are not included in this recommendation (Level of Evidence: B)"
