Clinical value of inflammatory indices in predicting poor prognosis and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage

Abstract Background Hemorrhagic stroke has a high mortality and disability rate. Among them, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an important factor leading to adverse outcomes. IVH can induce acute obstructive hydrocephalus and chronic communicating hydrocephalus. However, there are currently no e...

description Abstract Background Hemorrhagic stroke has a high mortality and disability rate. Among them, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an important factor leading to adverse outcomes. IVH can induce acute obstructive hydrocephalus and chronic communicating hydrocephalus. However, there are currently no effective predictive factors for the early prediction of post-hemorrhage hydrocephalus (PHH). Objectives To assess the role of inflammatory indicators in predicting PHH and poor prognostic outcomes in patients with ventricular hemorrhage. Design Single center retrospective case-control study. Methods We retrospectively examined IVH patients treated at our institution from April 2017 to March 2022. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, imaging findings, and 3-month follow-up results were recorded and analyzed. Results Among the 145 patients included in the analysis, 102 eventually developed adverse outcomes. There were significant differences between patients with good and poor prognosis in terms of age at admission, GCS score, prevalence of hypertension, lymphocyte count, albumin level, red blood cell distribution width, neutrophil count, NLR, PLR, NAR, PIV, and SII; in addition, among the 110 surviving patients, 36 eventually developed posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus within 3 months. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age and NAR are independent predictors of poor prognosis in IVH patients, while albumin is an independent predictor of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus within 3 months. Conclusion The NLR and NAR are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in IVH patients. Additionally, albumin is an independent predictor of chronic hydrocephalus development within 3 months in IVH patients. The NLR, NAR and albumin level could provide prognostic information about IVH patients.
