Abstract WP293: Baseline Perihematomal Edema is Greater in the Presence of a CTA Spot Sign but Does Not Predict Hematoma Expansion Independent of ICH Volume
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Similarly to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), perihematomal edema (PHE) increases with time from onset. A small degree of PHE relative to ICH may suggest a very early timepoint from onset or actively bleeding ICH and therefore predict a higher likelihood of hematoma expansion (HE). The relationship between PHE, ICH and HE has not however been established. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the link between PHE and ICH by time and their relationship with the CTA spot sign and HE. Methods: The PREDICT study was a multicentric, prospective, observational cohort study of ICH patients <6 hours. All study cohort subjects with available baseline CT scan images (n=377) were included in this analysis. Volumes and diameters of total lesion, ICH and PHE were measured systematically by two blinded investigators, respectively. Diameter measurements were taken in the axial CT slice with the largest ICH area. Significant HE was defined as ICH enlargement >33% or >6mL at 24 hours. Results: Correlation between volume and diameter measurements was strong for total lesion (r=0.9; p<0.001) and ICH (r=0.88; p<0.001), but moderate for PHE (r=0.43; p<0.001). PHE represented a half of the total lesion volume at baseline (Table). PHE volume and diameter were not related to time from onset to baseline CT, although PHE/ICH diameter (p=0.017) and volume (p=0.061) ratios were higher the later the baseline CT scan was performed. Spot-sign patients (29.7%) had more baseline PHE, ICH and total lesion than spot-negative patients (Table). HE analysis was limited to 322 patients with follow-up CT before rFVIIa or surgical intervention. HE patients (32%) presented with higher PHE, ICH and total lesion volumes (Table). Baseline PHE diameter and volume ratios however did not predict subsequent HE. Conclusion: Edema represents about half of total lesion volume in acute ICH. Edema and ICH are larger in the presence of a CTA spot sign. Edema alone does not predict subsequent hematoma expansion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
