Timing of Occurrence Is the Most Important Characteristic of Spot Sign.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most previous studies have used single-phase computed tomographic angiography to detect the spot sign, a marker for hematoma expansion (HE) in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. We investigated whether defining the spot sign based on timing on perfusion computed tomography (CTP) would improve its specificity for predicting HE. METHODS We prospectively enrolled supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients who underwent CTP within 6 hours of onset. Logistic regression was performed to assess the risk factors for HE and poor outcome. Predictive performance of individual CTP spot sign characteristics were examined with receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS Sixty-two men and 21 women with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included in this analysis. Spot sign was detected in 46% (38/83) of patients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that the timing of spot sign occurrence on CTP had the greatest area under receiver operating characteristic curve for HE (0.794; 95% confidence interval, 0.630-0.958; P=0.007); the cutoff time was 23.13 seconds. On multivariable analysis, the presence of early-occurring spot sign (ie, spot sign before 23.13 seconds) was an independent predictor not only of HE (odds ratio=28.835; 95% confidence interval, 6.960-119.458; P<0.001), but also of mortality at 3 months (odds ratio =22.377; 95% confidence interval, 1.773-282.334; P=0.016). Moreover, the predictive performance showed that the redefined early-occurring spot sign maintained a higher specificity for HE compared with spot sign (91% versus 74%). CONCLUSIONS Redefining the spot sign based on timing of contrast leakage on CTP to determine early-occurring spot sign improves the specificity for predicting HE and 3-month mortality. The use of early-occurring spot sign could improve the selection of ICH patients for potential hemostatic therapy.

Fatigue analysis and estimation of safe life of structures that are subjected to cyclic loadings, such as ships and offshore structures is one of the most important steps of structural design. Fatigue failure in the form of crack will start from details and propagate in structure. In steel structures these cracks will started from welds. Most of the methods for fatigue life assessment in welded...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The spot sign score (SSS) provides risk stratification for hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage; however, external validation is needed. We sought to validate the SSS and assess prognostic performance of individual spot characteristics associated with hematoma expansion from a prospective multicenter intracerebral hemorrhage study.
