Cost-effectiveness of surgical decompression for space-occupying hemispheric infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical decompression reduces mortality and increases the probability of a favorable functional outcome after space-occupying hemispheric infarction. Its cost-effectiveness is uncertain. METHODS We assessed clinical outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness for the first 3 years in patients who were randomized to surgical decompression or best medical treatment within 48...
متن کاملSurgical decompression for space-occupying cerebral infarction: outcomes at 3 years in the randomized HAMLET trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We assessed whether the effects of surgical decompression for space-occupying hemispheric infarction, observed at 1 year, are sustained at 3 years. METHODS Patients with space-occupying hemispheric infarction, who were enrolled in the Hemicraniectomy After Middle cerebral artery infarction with Life-threatening Edema Trial within 4 days after stroke onset, were followed...
متن کاملQuality of life after surgical decompression for a space-occupying middle cerebral artery infarct: A cohort study
BACKGROUND In patients with a space-occupying middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct surgical decompression reduces the risk of death, but increases the chance of survival with severe disability. We assessed quality of life (QoL), symptoms of depression, and caregiver burden at long-term follow-up. METHODS Patients treated in two academic centres between 2007 and 2012 were included. Follow-up w...
متن کاملLong-term outcome after surgical treatment for space-occupying cerebellar infarction: experience in 56 patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical management of space-occupying cerebellar infarction is still controversial. Data on long-term outcome are lacking. The objective of this study was (1) to evaluate outcome after at least 3 years poststroke in patients with space-occupying cerebellar infarction treated by ventriculostomy/extraventricular drainage (EVD) or suboccipital decompressive craniectomy (SDC...
متن کاملNormothermia after decompressive surgery for space-occupying middle cerebral artery infarction: a protocol-based approach
BACKGROUND Moderate hypothermia after decompressive surgery might not be beneficial for stroke patients. However, normothermia may prove to be an effective method of enhancing neurological outcomes. The study aims were to evaluate the application of a pre-specified normothermia protocol in stroke patients after decompressive surgery and its impact on temperature load, and to describe the functi...
