Abstract

To evaluate the risk factors of prognosis in patients with primary pontine hemorrhage. A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 60 patients admitted with a diagnosis of primary pontine hemorrhage to the Department of Neurology of Nanfang Hospital in Guangzhou City. Patients were classified as survivors (n=34) and non-survivors (n=26) according to their outcomes on 30 days from the onset of symptoms. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed on clinical data and imaging features of patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis was used on continuous parameters verified by multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine their cut-off value. The 30-day mortality was 43.3% for 60 patients with primary pontine hemorrhage. Univariate analysis showed Glasgow coma scale (GCS) at admission, temperature, heart rate, hemorrhage volume, mechanical ventilation, involvement of ventricles and location of hematoma were statistically related to 30-day mortality in patients with primary pontine hemorrhage. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the GCS at admission [odds ratio (OR)=0.745, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.585 to 0.949], hemo...Continue Reading
