ObjectivesTo explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of neuroendoscopic intracerebral hematoma evacuation in the treatment of hypertension-related intracerebral hemorrhage.MethodsA total of 122 patients with hypertension-related intracerebral hemorrhage treated in our hospital from October 2015 to May 2019 were categorized into experimental group (n=62) and control group (n=60). The experimental group was treated with endoscopic intracerebral hematoma removal, while the control group was treated with traditional craniotomy. The operative indexes, postoperative recovery, serum endothelin, IL-6, CRP levels and the incidence of postoperative complications were observed and compared between the two groups, and the relevant factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing neuroendoscopic intracerebral hematoma evacuation were analyzed.ResultsThe operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hematoma clearance rate, ICU treatment time, the volume of brain edema 7 days after operation, the postoperative intracranial pressure, NIHSS score and ADL score in experimental group were significantly superior to those in control group. The levels of serum endothelin, IL-6 and CRP in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group after operation. The incidence of complications in the experimental group was lower than that in control group. Univariate analysis showed that the prognosis of patients undergoing neuroendoscopic evacuation of intracerebral hematoma was significantly correlated with the history of hypertension, preoperative GCS score, the amount of bleeding and whether been broken into the ventricle (P<0.05), but not with age, sex and location of hemorrhage (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of hypertension above 10 years, blood loss above 50 mL, intraventricular rupture and preoperative GCS score were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing neuroendoscopic intracerebral hematoma evacuation.ConclusionsCompared with traditional craniotomy, neuroendoscopic evacuation of intracerebral hematoma has the advantages of better curative effect and lower incidence of postoperative complications in the treatment of hypertension-related intracerebral hemorrhage. The history of hypertension above 10 years, bleeding volume above 50 mL, breaking into the ventricle and preoperative GCS score are the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing neuroendoscopic intracerebral hematoma evacuation.
Objective To analyze the influencing factors of prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and explore the influence of hemoglobin (Hb) level combined with blood pressure variability (BPV) on the quality of prognosis of patients with TBI. Methods The data of 186 TBI patients who received systemic treatment in the Affiliated Zhangjiagang Hospital of Soochow University between January 2020 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 3 months after treatment, they were divided into group A (GOS 4-5, 159 cases) and group B (GOS 1-3, 27 cases). The general clinical data, BPV indexes and Hb levels of the two groups were analyzed by single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of the logistic regression model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC). Results There was no statistical significance in gender, age, body mass index, blood urea nitrogen, prothrombin time, fasting blood glucose level, or smoking history (P>0.05); the patients’ Glasgow Coma Scale at admission in group A was higher than that in group B (P<0.05), and the constituent ratio with a history of hypertension of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.05). The between-group differences in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and Hb at admission, and SBP, DBP, and MAP 72 h after treatment were not statistically significant (P>0.05); the SBP-standard deviation (SD), DBP-SD, SPB-coefficient of variation (CV) and DBP-CV of group B 72 h after treatment were significantly higher than those of group A (P<0.05), and the level of Hb was significantly lower than that of group A (P<0.05). Hb [odds ratio (OR)=0.787, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.633, 0.978), P=0.031], SBP-CV [OR=1.756, 95%CI (1.073, 2.880), P=0.023] and DBP-CV [OR=1.717, 95%CI (1.107, 2.665), P=0.016] were all independent prognostic factors of TBI patients. The ROC showed that the combined index of BPV and Hb was more valuable than that of single prediction, with an AUC of 0.896 [95%CI (0.825, 0.935), P<0.05]. Conclusions Both BPV and Hb are independent factors affecting the prognosis of TBI patients, and their combined application can more effectively predict the prognosis of TBI patients. Therefore, when treating and evaluating the prognosis of TBI patients, closely monitoring the changes in blood pressure and Hb levels can timely and effectively control the development of the disease, and provide scientific reference for subsequent treatment.
