Early identification of the etiology of spontaneous acute intracerebral hemorrhage is essential for appropriate management. This study aimed to develop an imaging model to identify cavernoma-related hematomas.
Patients 1-55 years of age with acute (≤7 days) spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included. Two neuroradiologists reviewed CT and MR imaging data and assessed the characteristics of hematomas, including their shape (spherical/ovoid or not), their regular or irregular margins, and associated abnormalities including extralesional hemorrhage and peripheral rim enhancement. Imaging findings were correlated with etiology. The study population was randomly split to provide a training sample (50%) and a validation sample (50%). From the training sample, univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors predictive of cavernomas, and a decision tree was built. Its performance was assessed using the validation sample.
Four hundred seventy-eight patients were included, of whom 85 had hemorrhagic cavernomas. In multivariate analysis, cavernoma-related hematomas were associated with spherical/ovoid shape (< .001), regular margins ( = .009), absence of extralesional hemorrhage ( = .01), and absence of peripheral rim enhancement ( = .002). These criteria were included in the decision tree model. The validation sample ( = 239) had the following performance: diagnostic accuracy of 96.1% (95% CI, 92.2%-98.4%), sensitivity of 97.95% (95% CI, 95.8%-98.9%), specificity of 89.5% (95% CI, 75.2%-97.0%), positive predictive value of 97.7% (95% CI, 94.3%-99.1%), and negative predictive value of 94.4% (95% CI, 81.0%-98.5%).
An imaging model including ovoid/spherical shape, regular margins, absence of extralesional hemorrhage, and absence of peripheral rim enhancement accurately identifies cavernoma-related acute spontaneous cerebral hematomas in young patients.
早期明确自发性急性脑出血的病因对于恰当的治疗至关重要。本研究旨在建立一种影像学模型,以识别海绵状血管畸形相关的血肿。
纳入年龄在 1-55 岁之间、急性(≤7 天)自发性脑出血患者。2 名神经放射科医生回顾了 CT 和 MR 成像数据,并评估了血肿的特征,包括其形状(球形/卵圆形或非球形)、边缘规则或不规则,以及相关的异常,包括外出血和周围边缘强化。影像学表现与病因相关。研究人群随机分为训练样本(50%)和验证样本(50%)。从训练样本中,进行单变量和多变量逻辑回归以确定预测海绵状血管畸形的因素,并建立决策树。使用验证样本评估其性能。
共纳入 478 例患者,其中 85 例为出血性海绵状血管畸形。多变量分析显示,海绵状血管畸形相关的血肿与球形/卵圆形形状(<0.001)、边缘规则(=0.009)、无外出血(=0.01)和无周围边缘强化(=0.002)相关。这些标准被纳入决策树模型。验证样本(=239)具有以下性能:诊断准确性为 96.1%(95%置信区间,92.2%-98.4%)、敏感度为 97.95%(95%置信区间,95.8%-98.9%)、特异性为 89.5%(95%置信区间,75.2%-97.0%)、阳性预测值为 97.7%(95%置信区间,94.3%-99.1%)和阴性预测值为 94.4%(95%置信区间,81.0%-98.5%)。
包括卵圆形/球形形状、边缘规则、无外出血和无周围边缘强化的影像学模型可准确识别年轻患者中与海绵状血管畸形相关的急性自发性脑血肿。
