Abstract

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the deadliest acute conditions. The volume of bleeding and its location are factors that alter consciousness level, leading to death. This study aimed to explore the association between bleeding volume, blood pressure, and consciousness level with the mortality rate among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, so proper treatment and diagnosis can be conducted efficiently.Methods: This was an observational retrospective study conducted from October 2018–July 2019. Bleeding volume, blood pressure, consciousness level, and mortality as the outcomes of the patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were evaluated. Consciousness level was determined by using the Glasgow Coma Scale score. Data were collected from the medical record of intracerebral hemorrhage patients of the Neurologic Department in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya in the period of 2016. The Chi-square analysis method was used to determine the correlation between variables.Results: In total, 51 medical records were retrieved, and the majority of the patients were in the 45–60 years old group (54.9%). The mortality during hospitalization was 17.6% with most of them (82.4%) had bleeding volume less than 30 cc. Interestingly, the bleeding volume correlated with the consciousness level (p=0.001) and the outcome of the patients (p=0.02). The blood pressure shows a correlation with the volume of bleeding (p=0.009).Conclusions: Bleeding volume and consciousness level as determined by the Glasgow Coma Scale score show significant correlations with the mortality rate in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract

Background: In acute ischemic stroke, reduced oxygen supply may trigger metabolic acidosis and cellular injury. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), as an intracellular enzyme, helps generate energy by converting pyruvate to lactate in glycolysis. This study aimed to examine the correlation between serum LDH levels and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at the onset of treatment among patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods: This analytical observational study used cross-sectional design, involving patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital, Indonesia, between February and May 2023. Participants were selected using consecutive sampling. Serum LDH levels and NIHSS score were measured upon admission. The correlation between LDH levels and NIHSS score was analyzed using the Spearman test, with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results: A total of 30 patients were included, of whom 16 (53.3%) were male. A significant correlation was found between LDH levels and NIHSS scores (p=0.001). The correlation coefficient (r=0.785) indicated a strong positive correlation between serum LDH levels and stroke severity.Conclusions: This study demonstrates a strong positive correlation between LDH levels and NIHSS scores at the onset of acute ischemic stroke treatment. These findings suggest that LDH may serve as a practical early biomarker for assessing stroke severity. Integrating LDH measurement into initial evaluation may facilitate faster risk stratification and support timely clinical decision-making. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate its prognostic role in routine practice.
