Research Article: The impact of early nutritional and immune status assessment on all-cause mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in the intensive care unit: a retrospective study
Abstract:
Recent research has indicated that nutritional and immune status impact neurological outcomes. We assessed the association between the hemoglobin–albumin–lymphocyte platelet (HALP) score and all-cause mortality among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
We retrospectively collected data from patients with ICH in two cohorts. Kaplan–Meier survival curves and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis were used to analyze the association between the HALP score and both short- and long-term outcomes. We also developed a risk prediction nomogram and validated it in an external cohort.
An analysis of 925 ICH patients from the MIMIC database revealed 30-day, 90-day, and 365-day mortality rates of 29.08%, 34.49%, and 41.84%, respectively. The Q1 group (HALP?<?16.87) exhibited significantly higher short- and long-term mortality than the other groups (all p <?0.001). The RCS analysis showed that there was a non-linear correlation between the HALP score and mortality risk. These findings were confirmed in the external validation cohort. The risk model established based on nutritional assessment can effectively identify high-risk ICH patients. The nomogram showed strong sensitivity and specificity in the internal cohort, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of 0.825.
Our findings indicate that a lower HALP score is associated with increased mortality in ICH patients. Additionally, we created a straightforward risk stratification tool based on this score to assist clinicians in identifying high-risk individuals.
