Role of admission serum albumin levels in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage

摘要: Low serum albumin levels have been reported to be an independent predictor of increased morbidity and mortality in multiple disease conditions. The aim our study was identify the impact low on outcomes at discharge patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. We retrospectively reviewed prospective database hemorrhage from January 2010 December 2011. Patients were dichotomized into two groups based their upon admission. Hypoalbuminemia defined as ≤3.4 g/dl. compared using Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables t continuous variables. Poor outcome death or a long-term nursing facility (modified Rankin Score 4–6). Out 97 admitted hemorrhage, 90 met inclusion criteria (42 had normal 48 hypoalbuminemia). baseline characteristics, risk factors, etiology, location volume admission blood glucose, white cell count, length hospital stay, intensive care unit complications similar between both groups. Although hypoalbuminemia did not in-hospital (28 vs 24 %, p = 0.635), there significant increase poor (59 31 0.009) (OR 1.8; 95 % CI; 1.2–2.8). Similar other diseases, associated functional This will need confirmed larger studies before adopting therapeutic preventive strategies future.
