Overview

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a medical emergency requiring urgent diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, it may result in irreversible brain tissue damage. causing permanent neurological deficit and death.[1][2] The most common complications following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include hematoma expansion, venous thromboembolism (VTE), pneumonia, apiration, respiratory failure/distress pulmonary embolism, sepsis, neurogenic pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and acute kidney injury.[3][4][5]

Despite aggressive and newer management strategies, the prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage is very poor. The main powerful predictor of 30-day mortality and morbidity in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a volume of hemorrhage in combination with the initial Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS).[6][7]

Natural history

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a medical emergency requiring urgent diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, it may result in irreversible brain tissue damage. causing permanent neurological deficit and death. ICH has a mortality rate of 44 percent after 30 days, higher than ischemic stroke or even the very deadly subarachnoid hemorrhage.[1][2] Massive hemorrhage may occur when the patients have a bleeding disorder and clotting system is unable to control the bleeding.[8] The hematoma enlarges until pressure from surrounding tissue limits its growth, or until it decompresses by emptying into the ventricular system, CSF or the pial surface. [9][10]

The frequency of medical complications after intracerebral hemorrhage is high, although there is substantially more information reported for ischemic stroke than intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).[11]

Complications

The most common complications following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include:[3][4][5][11]

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

Prognostic factors

  • 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.[12]
  • The main powerful predictor of 30-day mortality and morbidity in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a volume of hemorrhage in combination with the initial Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS).[6][7]
  • Case-fatality at 1 month is over 40 % and has not improved in last few decades.[13]

Prognsostic factors in Intracerebral hemorrhage may include:[14]

Poor prognostic factors Associations
Fever[15]
  • Associated with early neurologic deterioration
Higher initial blood pressure[16]
  • Associated with early neurologic deterioration and increased mortality
Higher creatinine[17]
Higher serum glucose[16]
  • Associated with hematoma expansion and worse outcome
Warfarin-related hemorrhages[18][19]
  • Associated with an increased hematoma volume, greater risk of expansion, and increased morbidity and mortality
Warfarin therapy with an INR >3[20]
  • Associated with larger initial hemorrhage volume as well as poorer outcomes
Intraventricular hemorrhage[21][22]
  • IVH occurs in approximately 45% of patients with spontaneous ICH and is an independent factor associated with poor outcome
  • Following conditions are associated with a higher risk of death in patient with IVH[23][24]
