Article Abstract
Objectives: Frailty is an indispensable concept among elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between modified frailty index (mFI) and the postoperative outcome of surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).
Patients And Methods: Outcome measures included an unfavorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6) or mortality at 6-8 months after hemorrhage. The prognostic ability of mFI was assessed by comparing adjusted and nonadjusted effects with the Hemphill's ICH score. The performance of the ICH score combined with mFI was assessed for discriminative ability.
Results: In total, 156 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. Multivariate analyses revealed that higher mFI was significantly associated with an unfavorable outcome (p-value = 0.004) and mortality (p-value < 0.001). Compared with the ICH score alone, the ICH score combined with mFI revealed significantly higher discriminative ability for predicting postoperative outcome.
Conclusion: mFI was a useful and reliable predictor of postoperative unfavorable outcome for sICH. Frailty may be an important essence to be considered before operation for sICS in the aging society.

The present study aims at providing reference values from the general pediatric population for the German version of the 21-item self-report post version of the Postconcussion Symptom Inventory for adolescents aged 13-17 years (PCSI-SR13) following pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI). A total of N = 950 adolescents completed an adapted version of the PCSI-SR13. Prior to establishing reference values using percentiles, psychometric properties (i.

Objective: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms are difficult to treat with coil embolization (CE) due to their location and shape, but the number of CE-treated MCA has gradually increased as treatment techniques have improved. However, the outcomes of CE for ruptured MCA aneurysms are poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of CE for ruptured MCA aneurysms.

Background: Upper limb impairment post-stroke often leads to a predominant use of the less affected arm and consequent learned disuse of the affected side, hindering upper limb outcome. Wearable sensors such as accelerometers, combined with smart reminders (i.e.

Background: Neuroimaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and in identifying the underlying etiology for appropriate therapeutic approach. This study aims to determine the significance and potential advantages of using early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic tool for ICH.
Methods: This retrospective study included 359 patients with ICH treated at the Department of Neurology, Mannheim University Hospital between January 2017 and December 2021.

Introduction: This study evaluated how different published diagnostic coding schemas impact the assessment of major bleeding risks associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with atrial fibrillation who initiated DOACs or warfarin between 2012 and 2019, using Taiwan's national claims database. Major bleeding events, including gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and other major bleeding events, were identified using coding schemas from Cunningham et al, the Mini-Sentinel protocol, and Yao et al.
