Abstract
Background: This study focuses on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with a high risk of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and acute hydrocephalus (AH). The aim was to compare the performance of an automatic algorithm for quantifying the volume of intracranial blood with the reference radiological scales to predict DCI, AH, and neurological outcome.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective observational study of a cohort of patients with aSAH. We developed an automated blood detection algorithm based on the specific density of the blood clot. The blood clot was segmented on the first brain scan (total, supratentorial, cisternal, intraventricular). The predictive value of our model was compared, using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROCAUC), to eight radiological scales: Fisher, modified Fisher, Claassen, Barrow Neurological Institute, Hijdra, Graeb, LeRoux scales, and intraventricular hemorrhage score.
Results: We analyzed the scans of 145 patients with aSAH. In our cohort, 51 patients (43%) had DCI and 70 patients (54%) had AH. At 3 months, 22% of patients had died and 19% had poor outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale extended 2-4). Cisternal blood volume was significantly correlated with cisternal Hijdra scale (R2 = 0.79; P < 0.001). The ROCAUC of cisternal blood volume was comparable to the ROCAUC of the Hijdra scale in predicting the occurrence of DCI (ROCAUC = 0.83 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.75-0.89] vs. 0.86 [95% CI 0.79-0.9]; P = 0.23). The ROCAUC of intraventricular blood volume was not significantly different from the intraventricular hemorrhage score in predicting the occurrence of AH (ROCAUC = 0.78 [95% CI 0.70-0.84] vs. 0.79 [95% CI 0.72-0.85]; P = 0.28). The ROCAUC and supratentorial blood volumes were not significantly different from the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II in predicting the occurrence of poor neurological outcome at 3 months (ROCAUC = 0.75 [95% CI 0.67-0.82] vs. 0.81 [95% CI 0.74-0.87]; P = 0.073).
Conclusions: With no manual intervention, our algorithm performed as well as the best radiological scores in predicting the occurrence of DCI, AH, and neurological outcome.
期刊介绍:
Neurocritical Care is a peer reviewed scientific publication whose major goal is to disseminate new knowledge on all aspects of acute neurological care. It is directed towards neurosurgeons, neuro-intensivists, neurologists, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and critical care nurses treating patients with urgent neurologic disorders. These are conditions that may potentially evolve rapidly and could need immediate medical or surgical intervention. Neurocritical Care provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in intensive care neurology, neurosurgery and neuroanesthesia and includes information about new therapeutic avenues and technological innovations. Neurocritical Care is the official journal of the Neurocritical Care Society.
