Abstract
In this post hoc analysis of the ANNEXa-I trial (n = 434), we evaluated non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers of hematoma expansion (HE) in factor Xa inhibitor (FXai) –associated intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). At least one NCCT marker was present in 72.1%, and HE (≥12.5 mL or ≥ 35% increase in hematoma volume) occurred in 31.8%. Heterogeneous density, hypodensity, and the black hole sign were independently associated with HE. The effect of andexanet on HE was generally consistent across NCCT marker subgroups. These findings support the utility of NCCT markers for identifying patients at high risk of HE in FXai-associated ICH. ANN NEUROL 2026;100:979–983
期刊介绍:
Annals of Neurology publishes original articles with potential for high impact in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and science underlying diseases of the human nervous system. Articles should ideally be of broad interest to the academic neurological community rather than solely to subspecialists in a particular field. Studies involving experimental model system, including those in cell and organ cultures and animals, of direct translational relevance to the understanding of neurological disease are also encouraged.
