Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic efficacy of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor fractional anisotropy (FA) for patients with hemiparesis due to intracerebral hemorrhage. Diffusion tensor FA brain images were acquired 14-21 days after putaminal and/or thalamic hemorrhage. The ratio of FA values within the cerebral peduncles of the affected and unaffected hemispheres (rFA) was calculated for each patient (n = 40) and assessed for correlation with Brunnstrom stage (BRS, 1-6), motor component of the functional independence measure (FIM-motor, 13-91), and the total length of stay (LOS) until discharge from rehabilitation (P < .05). Ordinal logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between rFA and specific outcomes as measured by BRS range (poor, BRS 1 or 2; moderate, BRS 3 or 4; and good, BRS 5 or 6; P < .05). The rFA values were .571-1.043 (median, .856) and BRS scores were 1-6 (median, 4) for shoulder/elbow/forearm, 1-6 (median, 4) for hand, and 2-6 (median, 4) for lower extremities. FIM-motor scores were 58-86 (median, 78) and LOS ranged from 42 to 225 days (median, 175.5 days). Correlation coefficients were statistically significant between rFA and shoulder/elbow/forearm BRS (.696), h...Continue Reading
