Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney failure is a global public health challenge and is associated with a higher risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is known to result in a poorer prognosis in hemodialysis (HD) patients than in non-hemodialysis patients.
Methods: This retrospective study examined 445 consecutive cases of ICH to investigate the disparities in outcomes between HD (44 cases) and non-HD (401 cases) patients. The two groups were compared based on demographic and clinical factors, and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes.
Results: The HD group showed a significantly younger age (68.1 vs. 72.9, p=0.01) and higher frequencies of hypertension, diabetes, anticoagulant use, a history of smoking, and a history of stroke. Clinical outcomes were worse in the HD group (p<0.01). Detailed analysis of ICH characteristics revealed a higher rate of hematoma enlargement in the HD group (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis confirmed dialysis and anticoagulant use as significant risk factors for hematoma enlargement.
Conclusion: The study concludes that HD patients with ICH exhibit a higher risk of hematoma enlargement and poorer clinical outcomes. Dialysis and anticoagulant use emerged as significant risk factors for hematoma enlargement. Larger prospective studies are essential for validating these findings.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
