Abstract:Objective To explore the relationship between the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (HCH) patients after neural endoscopic intracranial hematoma evacuation (NEIHE) and prognosis.Methods 246 HCH patients who underwent NEIHE surgery from January 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects. According to the postoperative 6 month Glasgow outcome score (GOS), the patients were divided into good prognosis group (n = 158) and poor prognosis group (n = 88). Hierarchical regression model was used to analyze the relationship between clinical pathological features and the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with HCH after NEIHE, and a prediction model was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn with poor prognosis as the outcome variable. Area under the curve (AUC), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification improvement (NRI) of different prediction models were compared. Hosmer-Lemeshow was used to test the goodness of fit. Generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the relationship between GOS and related factors.Results Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had more preoperative blood loss, lower preoperative Glasgow coma score (GCS), and higher proportion of patients with midline deviation, hypertension history ≥ 10 years, hemorrhage breaking into the brain ventricle, and operation time in the late stage, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with the good prognosis group, the proportions of patients with ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral cistern ambiens compression of 3 to 4 points and the morphological classification of cerebral cistern ambiens of grade V in the poor prognosis group were higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The location of bleeding, midline deviation, and intracranial pressure all had an impact on the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis (model 2: including the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens) showed that midline deviation, history of hypertension ≥10 years, preoperative bleeding volume > 37 mL, bleeding into the brain ventricles, preoperative GCS < 7 points, late surgical timing, degree of compression of the cerebral cistern ambiens (3 to 4 points on the same side of hematoma, 3 to 4 points on the opposite side of hematoma), and grade V morphology were all risk factors influencing the poor prognosis of patients with HCH after NEIHE (P < 0.05). After incorporating the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens into model 1 (excluding the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens), the AUC increased to 0.812 (95%CI: 0.763 ~ 0.872), and both the IDI (0.081, 95%CI: 0.049 ~ 0.095) and NRI (0.611, 95%CI: 0.510 ~ 0.674) of the model improved, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Compared with model 1, model 2 showed an increase in AUC (0.826, 95%CI: 0.771 ~ 0.863), IDI (0.085, 95%CI: 0.052 ~ 0.110), and NRI (0.628, 95%CI: 0.510 ~ 0.709), with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that model 2 (P = 0.878) had a better fit for predicting poor prognosis than model 1 (P = 0.691). GAM analysis showed that the higher the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens, the lower the GOS, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the combined application of degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens had a high predictive value for poor prognosis, with AUC of 0.935 (95%CI: 0.890 ~ 0.971), sensitivity of 70.26%, and specificity of 93.84%.Conclusion The degree of compression and shape changes of the cerebral cistern ambiens in HCH patients after NEIHE are closely related to prognosis, and the combined application has certain predictive value for poor prognosis. The location of bleeding, midline deviation, intracranial pressure, and other factors significantly affect the compression degree and shape change of the cerebral cistern ambiens.
