RESEARCH PROGRESS ON CT MIXED SIGNS IN PROGNOSIS OF ATHLETIC PATIENTS WITH SPONTANEOUS INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE AND PREDICTIVE VALUE OF POSTOPERATIVE REBLEEDING ON MENTAL HEALTH

Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage stands as a significant cerebrovascular disorder, particularly impacting athletic patients, who are often associated with a unique set of risk factors due to their intense physical activities. This condition is notorious for its high disability and mortality rates, making surgical interventions crucial for reducing mortality and enhancing the quality of life in these individuals. Nevertheless, postoperative rebleeding presents a severe complication, exacerbating patient discomfort and undermining treatment outcomes. This issue is further compounded in athletes, where rebleeding can significantly deter their mental health and prospects of returning to sports. Thus, precise preoperative and postoperative risk assessments are paramount for this demographic. Recent studies have highlighted the head CT mixed sign as a critical predictive marker for hematoma expansion and adverse prognosis in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, gaining widespread attention for its diagnostic potential. The predictive value of these mixed signs for unfavorable outcomes and postoperative rebleeding has been increasingly documented, suggesting their significant role in guiding clinical decisions. Accordingly, this paper aims to meticulously evaluate and consolidate current research on CT mixed signs, focusing on their implications for athletic patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. By delving into the relationship between CT mixed signs, postoperative rebleeding, and its impact on mental health, this analysis seeks to unearth insights that could refine diagnostic and treatment strategies, offering clinicians a more nuanced understanding tailored to the athletic population. This endeavor is geared towards fostering optimized care, minimizing the risk of re-bleeding, and supporting the mental health and recovery of athletes afflicted by spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
