Abstract
Objectives: Comments on the relationship of prognostic factors in patients with acute supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension.
Subjects and method: A cross-sectional, prospective descriptive study was conducted on 150 patients diagnosed with acute supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension, admitted for inpatient treatment at the Neurology Center, Bach Mai Hospital from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024.
Results: The rate of patients with good outcome after 3 months (73.3%). In terms of prognostic factors, the study showed that in the age group ≤ 60 years old, the rate of poor outcome was 18.1%, the group > 60 years old had a rate of poor outcome of 34.6%. Thus, in the age group > 60 years old, the outcome was worse, this difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. In our study, there was no statistically significant difference in outcome at day 90 between patients with a history of hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, antiplatelet drugs, smoking, alcohol consumption and patients without this history. In the group without cerebral hemorrhage, the rate of patients with poor outcome was 18.8%; while in the group with cerebral hemorrhage, this rate was 36.9%, this difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. In the group with no hematoma volume < 30 ml, the rate of patients with poor outcome was 14.1%; meanwhile, in the group with hematoma volume ≥ 30 ml, this rate was 100%, this difference was statistically significant with p < 0.01. In the group with Glasgow score at admission ≥ 14 points, the rate of patients with poor outcome was 14.4%; meanwhile, in the group with Glasgow score at admission < 14 points, the rate of patients with poor outcome was 71.9%, this difference was statistically significant with p < 0.01.
Conclusion: Studying 150 patients with acute supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension treated at the Neurology Center - Bach Mai Hospital from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024, we drew the following conclusions: factors leading to poor outcomes for patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension include age > 60, hematoma volume ≥ 30 ml, Glasgow score at admission below 14 points, and intraventricular hemorrhage.
