Abstract

Purpose

The computed tomography angiography (CTA) spot sign is a validated predictor of 30-day mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, its role in predicting unfavorable functional outcomes remains unclear. This study explores the frequency of the spot sign and its association with functional outcomes, hematoma expansion, and length of hospital stay among survivors of ICH.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with primary ICH who received CTA within 24 h of admission to two medical centers between January 2007 and August 2022. Patients who died before discharge and those referred from other hospitals were excluded. Spot signs were assessed by an experienced neuroradiologist. Functional outcomes were determined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores and the Barthel Index (BI).

Results

In total, 98 patients were included; 14 (13.64%) had a spot sign. No significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the patients with and without a spot sign. Higher spot sign scores were associated with higher odds of experiencing hematoma expansion (p = 0.013, 95% CI = 1.16–3.55), undergoing surgery (p = 0.012, 95% CI = 0.19–1.55), and having longer hospital stay (p = 0.02, 95% CI = 1.22–13.92). However, higher spot sign scores were not associated with unfavorable functional outcomes (p = 0.918 for BI, and p = 0.782 for mRS).

Conclusion

Spot signs are common findings among patients with ICH, and higher spot sign scores were associated with subsequent hematoma expansion and longer hospital stays but not unfavorable functional outcomes.

Neu im Fachgebiet Radiologie

Ab sofort gelten die neuen Verordnungsausnahmen für Lipidsenker

Freie Fahrt für Lipidsenker? Das nicht, doch mit niedrigerem Schwellenwert fürs Infarktrisiko und neuen Indikationen hat der G-BA die Verordnungs-Handbremse ein gutes Stück weit gelockert.

Abdominale CT bei Kindern: 40% mit Zufallsbefunden

Wird bei Kindern mit stumpfem Trauma eine CT des Bauchraums veranlasst, sind in rund 40% der Fälle Auffälligkeiten zu sehen, die nichts mit dem Trauma zu tun haben. Die allerwenigsten davon sind klinisch relevant.

Genügt die biparametrische MRT für die Prostatadiagnostik?

Die multiparametrische Magnetresonanztomografie hat einen festen Platz im Screening auf klinisch signifikante Prostatakarzinome. Ob auch ein biparametrisches Vorgehen ausreicht, ist in einer Metaanalyse untersucht worden.

Höhere Trefferquoten bei Brustkrebsscreening dank KI?

Künstliche Intelligenz unterstützt bei der Auswertung von Mammografie-Screenings und senkt somit den Arbeitsaufwand für Radiologen. Wie wirken sich diese Technologien auf die Trefferquote und die Falsch-positiv-Rate aus? Das hat jetzt eine Studie aus Schweden untersucht.
