Due to the absence of direct visualization during the operative field in stereotactic surgery for sICH, there exists individual variability in hematoma evacuation (HE) rates, with about 42% of patients not attaining the expected threshold for HE. The aim of this study was to find the relevant factors affecting HE during the treatment of sICH with stereotactic surgery. We pooled individual data from our prospective ICH database, encompassing patients who underwent stereotactic aspiration and catheter drainage.

Background: This study investigated the efficacy of frameless robot-assisted stereotactic aspiration coupled with catheter thrombolysis (SA-CT) in treating supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) with small haematoma volumes (<30 mL).

Methods: We analysed the clinical and long-term outcome data for patients who had haematoma volumes <30 mL and underwent SA-CT between August 2019 and June 2023. Then, we matched the patients receiving conservative treatment during the same period from a multicentre intracerebral haemorrhage database using propensity score matching.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCMs) in first-degree relatives (FDRs) using familial screening, to describe the distribution of initial symptoms, lesion count on cranial MRI and pathogenic gene in patients.

Methods: Patients with multiple CCMs who enrolled from the Treatments and Outcomes of Untreated Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in China database were considered as probands and FDRs were recruited. Cranial MRI was performed to screen the CCMs lesions, and whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify CCM mutations.

Purpose: Our aims were to investigate the presence of choroid plexus (CP) inflammation in chronic-phase intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and to characterize any inflammatory cells in the CP.

Patients And Methods: An in vivo 18 F-DPA714 PET study was undertaken in 22 chronic-phase ICH patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University or Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from April 2017 to June 2020. Ten control participants with nonhemorrhagic central nervous system diseases were included.

Stratification of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) patients without cerebral herniation at admission, to determine the subgroups may be suffered from poor outcomes or benefit from surgery, is important for following treatment decision. The aim of this study was to establish and verify a de novo nomogram predictive model for long-term survival in sICH patients without cerebral herniation at admission. This study recruited sICH patients from our prospectively maintained ICH patient database (RIS-MIS-ICH, ClinicalTrials.

Background: Early hematoma growth is associated with poor functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to explore whether quantitative hematoma heterogeneity in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) can predict early hematoma growth.

Methods: We used data from the Risk Stratification and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (Risa-MIS-ICH) trial.

Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) contributes to high mortality rates in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) populations. Accurate prediction and early intervention of SAP are associated with prognosis. None of the previously developed predictive scoring systems are widely accepted.

The treatment of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage along with moderate hematoma and without cerebral hernia is controversial. This study aimed to explore risk factors and establish prediction models for early deterioration and poor prognosis. We screened patients from the prospective intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) registration database (RIS-MIS-ICH, ClinicalTrials.

Perihematomal edema (PHE) is associated with poor functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Early identification of risk factors associated with PHE growth may allow for targeted therapeutic interventions. We used data contained in the risk stratification and minimally invasive surgery in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (Risa-MIS-ICH) patients: a prospective multicenter cohort study.

Introduction: The treatment decision and long-term outcomes of previously untreated cerebral cavernous malformation (U-CCM) are still controversial. Therefore, we are conducting a nationwide multicentre prospective registry study in China to determine the natural history and effect of surgical treatment on long-term outcomes in Chinese people with U-CCM.

Methods And Analysis: This study was started on 1 January 2018 and is currently ongoing.
