This meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic significance of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in 6,976 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). It found that SIRS significantly increased the risk of short-term mortality (OR 2.43) and poor functional outcomes at 3 and 12 months (OR 1.47 and OR 1.76, respectively), as well as hematoma expansion (OR 2.76).
Key findings
- Patients with acute ICH and SIRS had a 2.43-fold higher risk of short-term mortality.
- SIRS was associated with a 1.47-fold increased risk of poor functional outcome at 3 months.
- At 12 months, the risk of poor functional outcome was 1.76 times higher in patients with SIRS.
- SIRS increased the risk of hematoma expansion by 2.76 times.
Why it matters
Understanding the impact of SIRS on outcomes in acute ICH patients can help clinicians identify high-risk individuals and potentially guide management strategies to improve prognosis.
