Objective: To analyze the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) spot sign to predict outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) from a nationwide SAH registry.
Method: All patient data was obtained from the nationwide multicentre registry database, at time of analysis covering 1570 patients treated for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Complete data set from 1023 patients were available including baseline characteristic, radiographic aneurysmal and ICH characteristics including spot sign, treatment and admission course as well as outcome at discharge and 1 year follow-up using modified Rankin Scale for descriptive and univariate statistics.
Results: From a total of 1023 aSAH patients 218 patients (21%) presented with ICH including 23/218 (11%) patients with spot sign. Age, gender, BMI and tobacco use was comparable between all groups. There was a higher clip to coil ratio in patients with ICH (with and without spot sign) than non-ICH patients. Baseline median ICH volume was significantly higher in the spot sign ICH group (50mL, 12-209mL) than in the non-spot sign ICH group (18mL, 0-416) (p<0.0001). Intraprocedural aneurysm rupture was significantly higher in the spot sign than in the non-spot sign group (p=0.46). Both in hospital death (HD) and death at 1 year at follow-up (1YD) were significantly higher (p<0.0001) and dichotomized mRS outcome (0-2 vs 3-6) at discharge (mRSD) and 1 year follow-up (mRS1Y) were significantly worse (p<0.0001) in patients with ICH (median mRS 4) compared to patients without ICH (median mRS 2), respectively. Spot sign positive ICH patients showed a worse mRSD (p=0.039) than patients with spot sign negative ICH patients (median mRS 5 vs 4). Both groups showed comparable HD, 1YD and mRS1Y.
Conclusions: In this multicenter data analysis patients with spot sign positive ICH showed a higher baseline ICH volume, higher intraprocedural aneurysm rupture and a worse dichotomized mRS at discharge compared to spot sign negative ICH patients. At 1 year follow-up clinical outcome and death rate were comparable between both groups.
