Low Hemoglobin Causes Hematoma Expansion and Poor Intracerebral Hemorrhage Outcomes

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:Although lower hemoglobin levels associate with worse intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, causal drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Stroke, Ahead of Print. Patients with baseline hemoglobin measurements and serial computed tomography neuroimaging were included for analyses.

Utilization and Reporting of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Randomized Clinical Trials of Acute Stroke (2010–2020)

Stroke Journal

We sought to determine how often acute stroke trials included PROMs as outcome measures and assessed the completeness of methodological reporting.METHODS:We searched MEDLINE for randomized controlled trials published in 9 high-impact journals between 2010 and 2020.

Abstract TP1: Changing Trends in the Epidemiology of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Population-Based Study

Stroke Journal

Background:There are conflicting data on temporal trends in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) incidence and outcomes. Aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) was defined as those with culprit aneurysms; cases with no available vessel imaging were considered aSAH if the hemorrhage volume was “massive” or if the patient died rapidly after onset.

Abstract 005: Outcomes of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Both anticoagulants can be used intraoperatively and postoperatively for DVT prophylaxis in patients undergoing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) treatment. Results76,387 patients were diagnosed with SAH between 2010 and 2019. Patients with SAH are an understudied population in terms of assessing incidence and impact of HIT.

Abstract WMP84: The Impact of Pre-Morbid Antidepressant Exposure on the Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The Florida Stroke Registry

Stroke Journal

Concerns have been raised regarding their potential increased risk of bleeding complications including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) as they are known to affect platelet function. These findings challenge the prevailing literature notion that AD, particularly SSRIs are linked to an increased risk of hemorrhages of all type.

Abstract 022: Acute Kidney Injury in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Exploring its Clinical Significance and Prognostic Implications

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionSubarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) resulting from the spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm is a rare and highly debilitating condition. Results76,553 patients within the NIS were diagnosed with nontraumatic SAH between 2010 and 2019, of which 10,634 (13.89%) had a comorbid diagnosis of AKI.

Abstract TMP82: How Well Do Prehospital Stroke Triage Scores Identify Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage?

Stroke Journal

We determined the ability of prehospital LVO triage scores to identify ICH patients and to discriminate lobar from non-lobar ICH.Methods:We identified ICH cases presenting to the ED in Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky in 2005, 2010, and 2015. Cases were identified by ICD codes (ICD9 430-438, ICD10 G45-46, H34.11-12,
