====== Hemorrhagic transformation ======

Large areas of hemorrhagic [[transformation]] within an ischemic [[infarct]] may be more indicative of [[cardiogenic brain embolism]] (CBE) due to [[thrombolysis]] of the [[clot]] and [[reperfusion]] of infarcted brain with the subsequent hemorrhagic conversion. Hemorrhagic transformation most often occurs within 48 hrs of a CBE stroke, and is more common with larger strokes.
----
[[Intraarterial thrombolysis]] within 6 hours of stroke onset may increase recanalization rates to 37–100% and clinical improvement to 53–94% without a significant increase in the [[hemorrhagic transformation]] when compared with intravenous thrombolytic therapy alone.

Identifying risk factors and making an early prediction of HT in acute [[cerebral infarction]] contributes not only to the selections of therapeutic regimen but also, more importantly, to the improvement of prognosis of acute cerebral infarction.

[[Decompressive craniectomy]] for a [[malignant stroke]], after [[reperfusion]], corresponding to an [[endovascular thrombectomy]] failure, increases the risk of severe [[hemorrhagic transformation]]s in a [[ischemic stroke model]] in [[mice]]. This result support the need of clinical studies to evaluate the added value of DC at the era of endovascular thrombectomy

===== Prediction =====

The purpose of a study of Wang et al. was to develop and validate a model to predict a patient's risk of Hemorrhagic transformation within 30 days of initial [[ischemic stroke]].

They utilized a retrospective multicenter observational cohort study design to develop a Lasso Logistic Regression prediction model with a large, US Electronic Health Record dataset which structured to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM). To examine clinical transportability, the model was externally validated across 10 additional real-world healthcare datasets include EHR records for patients from America, Europe and Asia.

In the database the model was developed, the target population cohort contained 621,178 patients with ischemic stroke, of which 5,624 patients had HT within 30 days following initial ischemic stroke. 612 risk predictors, including the distance a patient travels in an ambulance to get to care for a HT, were identified. An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.75 was achieved in the internal validation of the risk model. External validation was performed across 10 databases totaling 5,515,508 patients with ischemic stroke, of which 86,401 patients had HT within 30 days following initial ischemic stroke. The mean external AUC was 0.71 and ranged between 0.60-0.78.

A HT prognostic predict model was developed with Lasso Logistic Regression based on routinely collected EMR data. This model can identify patients who have a higher risk of HT than the population average with an AUC of 0.78. It shows the OMOP CDM is an appropriate data standard for EMR secondary use in clinical multicenter research for prognostic prediction model development and validation. In the future, combining this model with clinical information systems will assist clinicians to make the right therapy decision for patients with acute ischemic stroke

===== Outcome =====

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after [[cerebral infarction]] is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon in the acute stage of [[ischemic stroke]], and often results in a poor [[prognosis]].
