Clinical implications of Peri-hematomal edema microperfusion fraction in intracerebral hemorrhage intravoxel incoherent motion imaging - A pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background and purposePerihematomal edema (PHE) represents the secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, neurobiological characteristics of post-ICH parenchymal injury other than PHE volume have not been fully characterized. Using intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM), we explored the clinical correlates of PHE diffusion and (micro)perfusion metrics in subacute ICH. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn 41 consecutive patients scanned 1-to-7 days after supratentorial ICH, we determined the mean diffusion (D), pseudo-diffusion (D*), and perfusion fraction (F) within manually segmented PHE. Using univariable and multivariable statistics, we evaluated the relationship of these IVIM metrics with 3-month outcome based on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
resultsIn our cohort, the average (± standard deviation) age of patients was 68.6±15.6 years, median (interquartile) baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was 7 (3-13), 11 (27 %) patients had poor outcomes (mRS>3), and 4 (10 %) deceased during the follow-up period. In univariable analyses, admission NIHSS (p < 0.001), ICH volume (p = 0.019), ICH+PHE volume (p = 0.016), and average F of the PHE (p = 0.005) had significant correlation with 3-month mRS. In multivariable model, the admission NIHSS (p = 0.006) and average F perfusion fraction of the PHE (p = 0.003) were predictors of 3-month mRS.
conclusionThe IVIM perfusion fraction (F) maps represent the blood flow within microvasculature. Our pilot study shows that higher PHE microperfusion in subacute ICH is associated with worse outcomes. Once validated in larger cohorts, IVIM metrics may provide insight into neurobiology of post-ICH secondary brain injury and identify at-risk patients who may benefit from neuroprotective therapy.
