The correlation of ct findings and in-hospital mortality after cerebral infarction

Abstract: SUMMARY -Objective:To evaluate whether findings on computed tomography (CT) are useful to predict early mortality after acute cerebral infarction. Methods: An admission CT was performed in 98 patients with disease-onset within 7 days; CT findings were analyzed using a checking list; their influence on hospital mortality was studied by logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 29 hospital deaths. Uncal herniation and midline shift>4mm were strongly correlated with fatal outcome. Also associated with inc… Show more

“…We did not observe other CT scan features, i.e. mass effect and midline shift reported to be associated with poor outcome, 6,16 since these features are likely to be associated with a large infarct rather than an independent factor in the absence of a large infarct.…”

“…[24] и С. André и соавт. [25] фактором риска летального исхода у больных с МИИ явилось развитие поперечной дислокации го-ловного мозга, равной 4-5 мм и более на уровне III желудочка. Согласно собственным данным [26,27], фактором риска наступления летального исхода у больных с МИИ является развитие поперечной дис-локации головного мозга на уровне прозрачной пе-регородки, равной 7 мм и более в первые 48 ч от на-чала заболевания.…”

“…Em pacientes com infarto cerebral agudo (IC), grandes volumes de lesão associam-se a pior evolução clínica, maior edema cerebral isquêmico, risco aumentado de desenvolvimento de hipertensão intracraniana e herniação cerebral 1 . Além disso, trombólise com ativador tissular recombinante de plasminogênio (r-tPA) tem maior chance de beneficiar pacientes com hipodensidades volumetricamente menores que um terço do território vascular da artéria cerebral média (ACM); também o risco de transformação hemorrágica após administração de r-tPA é maior quando são detectados volumes maiores de hipodensidade 2 .…”
