    Abstract: Background: High plasma levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursor choline have been linked to stroke; however, their association with cerebral small vessel disease remains unclear. Here we evaluated the association of plasma levels of TMAO and choline with imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease, including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds. Methods: We performed a baseline cross-sectional analysis of a multicenter hospital-based cohort study from 2015 to 2018. The data were collected from 30 hospitals in China and included 1,098 patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack aged ≥18 years. White matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds were evaluated with the patients' demographic, clinical, and laboratory information removed. White matter hyperintensities were rated using the Fazekas visual grading scale, while the degree of severity of the lacunes and cerebral microbleeds was defined by the number of lesions. Results: Increased TMAO levels were associated with severe white matter hyperintensities [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0–2.1, p = 0.04]. High TMAO levels were more strongly associated with severe periventricular white matter hyperintensities (aOR for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1–2.3, p = 0.009) than deep white matter hyperintensities (aOR for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.9–1.9, p = 0.16). No significant association was observed between TMAO and lacunes or cerebral microbleeds. Choline showed trends similar to that of TMAO in the association with cerebral small vessel disease. Conclusions: In patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, TMAO and choline appear to be associated with white matter hyperintensities, but not with lacunes or cerebral microbleeds; TMAO and choline were associated with increased risk of a greater periventricular, rather than deep, white matter hyperintensities burden.

    Abstract: We aimed to develop a risk score (intracerebral hemorrhage–associated pneumonia score, ICH-APS) for predicting hospital-acquired stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after ICH. Methods— The ICH-APS was developed based on the China National Stroke Registry (CNSR), in which eligible patients were randomly divided into derivation (60%) and validation (40%) cohorts. Variables routinely collected at presentation were used for predicting SAP after ICH. For testing the added value of hematoma volume measure, we separately developed 2 models with (ICH-APS-B) and without (ICH-APS-A) hematoma volume included. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, and integrated discrimination index were used to assess model discrimination, calibration, and reclassification, respectively. Results— The SAP was 16.4% and 17.7% in the overall derivation (n=2998) and validation (n=2000) cohorts, respectively. A 23-point ICH-APS-A was developed based on a set of predictors and showed good discrimination in the overall derivation (AUROC, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.72–0.77) and validation (AUROC, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.71–0.79) cohorts. The ICH-APS-A was more sensitive for patients with length of stay 〉 48 hours (AUROC, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.75–0.81) than those with length of stay 〈 48 hours (AUROC, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.55–0.73). The ICH-APS-A was well calibrated (Hosmer–Lemeshow test) in the derivation ( P =0.20) and validation ( P =0.66) cohorts. Similarly, a 26-point ICH-APS-B was established. The ICH-APS-A and ICH-APS-B were not significantly different in discrimination and reclassification for SAP after ICH. Conclusion— The ICH-APSs are valid risk scores for predicting SAP after ICH, especially for patients with length of stay 〉 48 hours.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose: The effect of uric acid (UA) levels on severity and prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial. We aimed to explore the association of admission UA levels with stroke severity and outcomes in ICH patients. Materials and Methods: The patients enrolled in this study were from the China Stroke Center Alliance study (CSCA). Patients were divided into four groups (Q1–Q4) according to the quartiles of UA levels at admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes included stroke severity, in-hospital complications, and discharge disposition. Multivariate logistic regression was adopted to explore the association of UA levels with outcomes after ICH. Results: Patients (84,304) with acute ICH were included in the final analysis; the median (interquartile range) of UA was 277 (210, 354) μmol/L. The four groups were defined as follows: Q1 ≤ 210 μmol/L, 210 μmol/L & lt; Q2 ≤ 277 μmol/L, 277 μmol/L & lt; Q3 ≤ 354 μmol/L, Q4 & gt; 354 μmol/L. There was no significant evidence indicating that UA levels were correlated with the discharge disposition and in-hospital mortality after ICH. However, compared to Q1, the patients with higher UA levels had decreased odds of severe stroke (NIHSS ≥ 16) at admission (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86–0.92). An L-shaped association was found between UA and severe stroke. Among in-hospital complications, decrease in pneumonia, poor swallow function, gastrointestinal bleeding, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were significantly associated with higher UA levels compared to Q1 ( P for trend & lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: UA was a protective factor for stroke severity and in-hospital complications such as pneumonia, poor swallow function, gastrointestinal bleeding, and DVT. However, no significant evidence indicated that UA levels were predictive of the discharge disposition and in-hospital mortality after ICH.

    Abstract: The early hematoma expansion of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) indicates a poor prognosis. This paper studies the relationship between cerebral blood flow (CBF) around the hematoma and hematoma expansion (HE) in the acute stage of intracerebral hemorrhage. A total of 50 patients with supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage were enrolled in this study. They underwent baseline whole-brain CTP within 6 h after intracerebral hemorrhage, and non-contrast CT within 24 h. Absolute hematoma growth and relative hematoma growth were calculated, respectively. A relative growth of Hematoma volume & gt;33% was considered to be hematoma expansion. The Ipsilateral peri-edema CBF and Ipsilateral edema CBF were calculated by CTP maps in patients with and without hematoma expansion, respectively. In this study the incidence of hematoma expansion in the early stage of supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage was 32%; The CBF of the hematoma expansion group was higher than that of the patients without hematoma expansion (23.5 ± 12.5 vs. 15.1 ± 7.4, P = 0.004). After adjusting for age, gender, Symptom onset to NCCT and Baseline hematoma volume, ipsilateral peri-edema CBF was still an independent risk factor for early HE (or = 1.095, 95% CI = 1.01–1.19, P = 0.024). Here, we concluded that higher cerebral blood flow predicts early hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

    Abstract: Studies showed that patients with hemorrhagic stroke are at a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) than those with ischemic stroke. We aimed to develop a risk score (intracerebral hemorrhage-associated deep vein thrombosis score, ICH-DVT) for predicting in-hospital DVT after ICH. Methods The ICH-DVT was developed based on the Beijing Registration of Intracerebral Hemorrhage, in which eligible patients were randomly divided into derivation (60%) and internal validation cohorts (40%). External validation was performed using the iMCAS study (In-hospital Medical Complication after Acute Stroke). Independent predictors of in-hospital DVT after ICH were obtained using multivariable logistic regression, and β-coefficients were used to generate a scoring system of the ICH-DVT. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to assess model discrimination and calibration, respectively. Results The overall in-hospital DVT after ICH was 6.3%, 6.0%, and 5.7% in the derivation ( n = 1,309), internal validation ( n = 655), and external validation ( n = 314) cohorts, respectively. A 31-point ICH-DVT was developed from the set of independent predictors including age, hematoma volume, subarachnoid extension, pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and length of hospitalization. The ICH-DVT showed good discrimination (AUROC) in the derivation (0.81; 95%CI = 0.79–0.83), internal validation (0.83, 95%CI = 0.80–0.86), and external validation (0.88; 95%CI = 0.84–0.92) cohorts. The ICH-DVT was well calibrated (Hosmer–Lemeshow test) in the derivation ( P = 0.53), internal validation ( P = 0.38), and external validation ( P = 0.06) cohorts. Conclusion The ICH-DVT is a valid grading scale for predicting in-hospital DVT after ICH. Further studies on the effect of the ICH-DVT on clinical outcomes after ICH are warranted.

    Abstract: Asymptomatic extracranial artery stenosis (ECAS) is a well-known risk factor for stroke events, but it remains unclear whether it has the same role in predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially in China. We investigated the potential associations between ECAS, carotid plaque and carotid intima-media thickness and the new occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the study. Out of 5440 study participants, 364 showed an asymptomatic ECAS at baseline and 185 had come up to the final vascular events (brain infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, coronary heart disease and death due to the vascular diseases). During the follow- up. ECAS, carotid plaque and its instability and increased CIMT have associated with vascular events significantly (P  〈  0.05). After adjusting relevant vascular risk factors, ECAS still has a strong relationship with the new occurrence of vascular events, especially the brain infarction (HR: 2.101; 95% CI: 1.027–4.298; P = 0.042). We observed a clear relationship between ECAS and the new occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, especially the brain infarction event. Carotid plaque and its instability and increased CIMT have all relevant with the occurrence of vascular events. Our findings provide direct evidence for the importance of ECAS in vascular events occurrence.

    Abstract: Malaria burden is still worrisome, while empirical evidence from malaria-eliminated countries including China may provide inspiration for the world. Objective This study aimed to investigate China's malaria hospitalization costs and explore its determinants. Methods Stratified multistage sampling across provincial, municipal, and county hospitals was conducted in 2017. All the malaria medical records were retrieved from 2014 to 2016 in 70 hospitals. Parametric and non-parametric methods were employed to estimate hospitalization costs, and the non-parametric bootstrap was used to compare hospitalization costs among sample areas and assessed the uncertainty of its differences. Quantile regressions were conducted to identify the determinants of hospitalization costs. Results The median hospitalization costs of 1633 malaria inpatients were 628 USD. Medication and laboratory tests accounted for over 70% of total expenditure. The median reimbursement rate was 41.87%, and this number was even lower in higher-level hospitals ( & lt;35%) and among the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( & lt;40%). Finally, health insurance type, hospital tier, clinical units, unknown fever, and comorbidity were the main determinants of hospitalization costs. Conclusion The disparity of health protection for malaria hospitalization between rural and urban areas was noteworthy. Equivocal diagnosis and comorbidity are contributors of high cost as well. A reasonable payment system and enhanced capacities to treat malaria in a cost-effective way are suggested to reassure malaria economic burden.
