Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Consecutive patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage admitted within 24 hours after onset were prospectively included.SUA levels was measured on the next morning after admission.Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to ascertain clinical outcome at 30 days.The patients were divided into a good outcome group (mRS＜2) and poor outcome group (mRS≥3).Results A total of 92 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included,and 46 of them (50％) were men,the mean age was 63 ± 12 years.At 30 days after onset,22 patients (23.9％) had a good outcome and 70 patients (76.1％) had a poor outcome.Univariate analysis showed that the Glasgow Come Scale (GCS) score in the good outcome group was significantly higher than that in the poor outcome group (13.85 ± 2.80 vs.11.21 ± 2.51; t=4.186,P=0.000),while hematoma volume (25.65 ±5.33 cm3 vs.34.60± 8.97 cm3,t=4.430,P=0.000) and SUA levels (324.90± 86.02 μmol/L vs.458.63 ±72.77 μmol/L; t =7.193,P =0.000) were significantly lower than those in the poor outcome group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the lower GCS score (odds ratio [OR]1.810,95％ confidence interval [CI]1.382-2.382; P =0.001),larger hematoma volume (OR 1.156,95％ CI 1.045-1.280; P=0.005) and higher SUA levels (OR 2.127,95％ CI 1.055-4.287; P=0.035) were the independent predictive factors for the short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Conclusions The increased SUA levels may predict the poor short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
