摘要

Background

Acute ischemic lesions seen on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, but drivers for these lesions are unknown. Rapid hemoglobin decrements occur in the initial days after ICH and may impair brain oxygen delivery. We investigated whether acute hemoglobin decrements after ICH are associated with MRI ischemic lesions and poor long-term ICH outcomes.

Methods

Consecutive patients with acute spontaneous ICH enrolled into a single-center prospective cohort study were assessed. Change in hemoglobin levels from admission to brain MRI was defined as the exposure variable. The presence of MRI ischemic lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging was the primary radiographic outcome. Poor 6-month modified Rankin Scale score (4–6) was assessed as our clinical outcome. Separate regression models assessed relationships between exposure and outcomes adjusting for relevant confounders. These relationships were also assessed in a separate prospective single-center cohort of patients with ICH receiving minimally invasive hematoma evacuation.

Results

Of 190 patients analyzed in our primary cohort, the mean age was 66.7 years, the baseline hemoglobin level was 13.4 g/dL, and 32% had MRI ischemic lesions. Greater hemoglobin decrements were associated with MRI ischemic lesions (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.77 for every 1 g/dL change, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60–0.99) and with poor 6-month outcomes (adjusted OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.55–0.98) after adjusting for demographics, ICH and medical disease severity, and antithrombotic use. In our separate cohort of 172 surgical patients with ICH, greater hemoglobin concentration decrements similarly associated with MRI ischemic lesions (adjusted OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.56–0.97) and poor 6-month outcomes (adjusted OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48–0.98).

Conclusions

Greater hemoglobin decrements after acute ICH are associated with ischemic lesions on brain MRI and poor long-term outcomes. Further work is required to clarify drivers for these relationships and whether anemia treatment and prevention can be used to improve ICH outcomes.
