Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the value of multimodal brain function monitoring using quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) in predicting hematoma enlargement and prognosis in patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage from October 2019 to October 2022. All patients underwent QEEG and TCD examinations within 24 hours of admission, and were divided into hematoma enlargement group (79 cases) and hematoma stabilization group (41 cases) based on whether the hematoma had expanded. By comparing the parameter differences of QEEG and TCD between two groups, explore the correlation between these monitoring indicators and hematoma enlargement and patient prognosis. Results The patients in the hematoma enlargement group had a higher average age and a higher smoking rate. The initial neurological damage in the hematoma enlargement group was more severe. The DAR and DTABR values of the hematoma enlargement group were significantly higher than those of the stable group at different time points after cerebral hemorrhage (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis shows that DAR, DTABR, and P1 have significant positive correlations with hematoma enlargement, with DAR and DTABR showing particularly strong correlations (r values of 0.774 and 0.738, respectively, P < 0.05), while P1 has relatively weak correlations (r = 0.213, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis shows that DAR, DTABR, and P1 parameters have high sensitivity and specificity in predicting hematoma enlargement, with an AUC value of up to 0.970 for DAR. During the follow-up period, the MRS scores of the stable hematoma group were significantly better than those of the hematoma expansion group at all time points (P < 0.05). Conclusion QEEG and TCD are helpful in early identification of high-risk patients, enabling more targeted treatment measures and improving clinical outcomes for patients.
