Clinical value of inflammatory indices in predicting poor prognosis and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundHemorrhagic stroke has a high mortality and disability rate. Among them, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an important factor leading to adverse outcomes. IVH can induce acute obstructive hydrocephalus and chronic communicating hydrocephalus. However, there are currently no effective predictive factors for the early prediction of post-hemorrhage hydrocephalus (PHH).
objectivesTo assess the role of inflammatory indicators in predicting PHH and poor prognostic outcomes in patients with ventricular hemorrhage.
designSingle center retrospective case-control study.
methodsWe retrospectively examined IVH patients treated at our institution from April 2017 to March 2022. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, imaging findings, and 3-month follow-up results were recorded and analyzed.
resultsAmong the 145 patients included in the analysis, 102 eventually developed adverse outcomes. There were significant differences between patients with good and poor prognosis in terms of age at admission, GCS score, prevalence of hypertension, lymphocyte count, albumin level, red blood cell distribution width, neutrophil count, NLR, PLR, NAR, PIV, and SII; in addition, among the 110 surviving patients, 36 eventually developed posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus within 3 months. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age and NAR are independent predictors of poor prognosis in IVH patients, while albumin is an independent predictor of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus within 3 months.
conclusionThe NLR and NAR are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in IVH patients. Additionally, albumin is an independent predictor of chronic hydrocephalus development within 3 months in IVH patients. The NLR, NAR and albumin level could provide prognostic information about IVH patients.
