ABSTRACT
Objective To study the association of early prognosis and risk factors about early neurological deterioration (END) in aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia. Methods One hundred and thirty-nine aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia were selected. The patients were divided into END group (59 cases) and non-END group (80 cases), the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up 3 months after discharge, the prognosis was evaluated by modified Rankin scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors of END. Results The incidence of END was 42.4%(59/139). The incidence of unfavourable prognosis in END group was significantly higher than that in non-END group:78.0%(46/59) vs. 30.0%(24/80), and there was statistical difference (P0.05). The Logistic regression analysis results showed that brain ventricle hemorrhage and white blood cell count at admission were independent risks factor for END in aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia(P < 0.05 or < 0.01). Conclusions The aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia will be prone to END, the brain ventricle hemorrhage and white blood cell count at admission are independent risks factor for END, and the early prognosis is poor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effects and characteristics between hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) and haematoma clearance by craniotomy for basal ganglia.Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with HICH in basal ganglia were collected,including operation duration,amount of intraoperative bleeding,cleared amount of haematoma,postoperative intracranial infection,and GOS at the sixth month after operation.The patients were divided into endoscopic group and craniotomy group.Clinical effects were analyzed by using GOS at the sixth month as a prognosis index.Results Preoperatively,the two groups showed no significant difference in any type of clinical materials(all P ＞ 0.05).Operation durations were (1.5 ± 0.8) h and (3.5 ± 1.1) h (P ＜ 0.05),respectively; amounts of intraoperative bleeding were (40.0 ± 19.7) rnl and (40.6 ± 13.2) ml (P ＜ 0.05),respectively; clearance rates of haematoma were (92.6 ± 9.4) ％ and (73.1 ± 21.1) ％ (P ＜ 0.05),respectively; cases of postoperative intracranial infections were 0 and 3 (P ＜ 0.05),respectively,for the endoscopy group and the craniotomy group.GOS prognosis at 6 months showed 7 cases of good recovery,12 cases of slight disability,2 cases of severe disability,1 case of vegetative state,and 1 death in the endoscopy group;6 cases of good recovery,9 cases of slight disability,6 cases of severe disability,3 case of vegetative state,and 1 death in the craniotomy group.Prognosis was better in the endoscopy group than in the craniotomy group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic surgery is an efficient and minimally invasive and operating technique for the treatment of hypertensive basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage.
