ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has worse clinical outcomes than other stroke types. The risk factors contributing to ICH outcomes are not entirely understood, and published literature from Saudi Arabia on ICH outcomes is limited. Our goal was to study the specific clinical and imaging determinants of ICH outcomes. METHODS: We retrospectively retrieved all patients with spontaneous ICH (SICH) from a prospective King Fahd Hospital University registry between 2017 and 2019. The clinical characteristics of ICH events and data on clinical outcomes (6 to 12 mo) were recorded. Groups of patients with a favorable modified Rankin Scale of 0 to 2 and nonfavorable outcomes of a modified Rankin Scale of 3 to 6 were investigated. The relationship between the clinical characteristics of the SICH event and its outcomes was assessed using linear and logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 148 patients with a mean age of 60.3 years (±15.2) and a median follow-up of 9 months were included. Unfavorable outcomes were reported in 98 patients (66.2%). The ICH event variables associated with unfavorable outcomes were impaired renal function, Glasgow Coma Score <8, hematoma volume, hematoma expansion, and intraventricular extension (IVE). CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated important clinical and radiologic features in patients with ICH that may affect their clinical long-term functional outcomes. A larger multicenter study is required to validate our results and evaluate the methods to improve health care in patients with SICH.
