Abstract
OBJECTIVES
This study aims to provide a current and comprehensive analysis of the incidence of delayed intracerebral hemorrhage (dICH) in head trauma patients on oral anticoagulants and to evaluate various potential risk factors.
METHODS
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. PubMed and CENTRAL were searched for studies on dICH in anticoagulated head trauma patients undergoing repeat CT scans. Studies reporting dICH incidence on repeat CT within 24 hours of an initial negative scan were included. Data on demographics, anticoagulant type, risk factors, and clinical outcomes were extracted and analyzed.
RESULTS
From 634 identified articles, 26 studies with 7218 patients were included. The overall incidence of dICH was 2.0%, with 43.8% of these cases requiring hospital admission or changes in clinical management. Only 0.1% required neurosurgical intervention, and 0.1% resulted in death. Meta-analysis of 20 studies revealed pooled dICH incidence per 1000 persons at risk was 27.1 for vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and 20.5 for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Significant risk factors for dICH included Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) <15, loss of consciousness, post-traumatic amnesia, and Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) head ≥3.
CONCLUSIONS
A low incidence of dICH requires neurosurgical intervention, however further studies are required to assess the need for other medical management in these patients. Furthermore, selective imaging for high-risk patients could improve care and resource allocation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
