Abstract
Background
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is frequently associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunction, potentially leading to temperature dysregulations.
Methods
This retrospective study analysis temperature and variability indices standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV) and successive variability (SV) continuously monitored over the first 96 hours post-admission in 261 ICH patients. Functional outcomes included the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge and 90-day follow-up.
Results
Elevated temperature occurred in 69 patients (26.4 %) and was associated with higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (p = 0.003), early hematoma expansion (p = 0.012), longer ICU stays (p < 0.001), and worse functional outcomes at discharge (p = 0.039) and follow-up (p = 0.045). Patients with elevated temperature exhibited greater SD variability, while SV remained similar. Subgroups with intraventricular (p = 0.033), or larger hemorrhages (p = 0.019) were predisposed to elevated temperature and higher SD variability. Logistic regression revealed that younger age, lower premorbid mRS, and lower NIHSS at admission were significant predictors of good 90-day outcomes (e.g., OR 0.352, CI 0.226–0.548, p < 0.001 for premorbid mRS). Intraventricular hemorrhage significantly reduced the likelihood of recovery (OR 0.289, CI 0.123–0.682, p = 0.005 for 0–24 h). Elevated temperature showed a trend toward worse outcomes (OR 2.445, 95 %CI 0.994–6.011, p = 0.051), and increased temperature variability (SD) was independently associated with poor outcomes in the first 24 hours (OR 0.090, CI 0.009–0.956, p = 0.046).
Conclusions
Elevated temperature and early temperature variability within the first 24 hours are associated with worse functional outcomes in ICH patients, highlighting the importance of targeted thermoregulation strategies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
