Background: We performed this analysis to identify the rates, predictors, and associated outcomes of unexpected neurosurgical evacuation in a multicenter randomized clinical trial, Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage (ATACH) 2.

Methods: The ATACH 2 trial determined the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of ≥5 and intraparenchymal hematoma volume of <60 cm on initial computed tomographic scan. We determined the proportion of ICH patients requiring unanticipated surgical evacuation and identified baseline factors associated with evacuation.

Results: Among the 992 subjects analyzed, 44 (4.4%) subjects required unanticipated surgical evacuation of hematoma. The proportion of subjects with initial GCS score of 13 or less was significantly higher among those who required surgical evacuation (43.2% vs. 26.8%, P < 0.001). In the logistics regression analysis, hematoma volume ≥18 cm (odds ratio, 4.3; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-8.8) and right-sided hematoma (odds ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-5.9) were significantly associated with surgical evacuation. Age, location, GCS score strata, and allocated treatment (intensive vs. standard systolic blood pressure reduction) were not associated with surgical evacuation. Among the 44 patients who underwent surgical evacuation, death or disability at 3 months postrandomization was seen in 32 (73%) of 44 subjects.

Conclusions: In the large cohort of ATACH 2 subjects with good grade ICH, the rates of unanticipated surgical evacuation were low and were associated with relatively high rates of death or disability at 3 months.

Whether 30-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores can predict 90-day scores is unclear. This study derived and validated a model to predict ordinal 90-day mRS score in an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) population using 30-day mRS values and routinely available baseline variables. Adults enrolled in the Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage-2 (ATACH-2) trial between May 2011 and September 2015 with acute ICH, who were alive at 30 days and had mRS scores reported at both 30 and 90 days were included in this post-hoc analysis.

Introduction: Hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a key predictor of poor prognosis and potentially amenable to treatment. This study aimed to build a classification model to predict HE in patients with ICH using deep learning algorithms without using advanced radiological features.

Methods: Data from the ATACH-2 trial (Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage) was utilized.

The mortality rate of acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can reach up to 40%. Although the radiomics of ICH have been linked to hematoma expansion and outcomes, no research to date has explored their correlation with mortality. In this study, we determined the admission non-contrast head CT radiomic correlates of survival in supratentorial ICH, using the Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage II (ATACH-II) trial dataset.

The relationship between 30- and 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients was evaluated. This post hoc cohort analysis of the ATACH-2 trial included patients with acute ICH who were alive at 30 days and who had mRS scores reported at 30 and 90 days. The mRS score was then converted to a utility (EuroQol-5 Dimension-3 Level [EQ-5D-3L])-weighted mRS score.

Background: Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is independently associated with a long-term increased risk of major arterial ischemic events. While the relationship between ICH location and ischemic risk has been studied, whether hematoma volume influences this risk is poorly understood.

Methods: We pooled individual patient data from the MISTIE III (Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation Phase 3) and the ATACH-2 (Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage-2) trials.
