Abstract

Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis associated with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) is a severe disease with high mortality. There are few data on sex differences in CVST-VITT. The aim of our study was to investigate the differences in presentation, treatment, clinical course, complications, and outcome of CVST-VITT between women and men.Patients and methods: We used data from an ongoing international registry on CVST-VITT. VITT was diagnosed according to the Pavord criteria. We compared the characteristics of CVST-VITT in women and men.Results: Of 133 patients with possible, probable, or definite CVST-VITT, 102 (77%) were women. Women were slightly younger [median age 42 (IQR 28–54) vs 45 (28–56)], presented more often with coma (26% vs 10%) and had a lower platelet count at presentation [median (IQR) 50x109/L (28–79) vs 68 (30–125)] than men. The nadir platelet count was lower in women [median (IQR) 34 (19–62) vs 53 (20–92)]. More women received endovascular treatment than men (15% vs 6%). Rates of treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins were similar (63% vs 66%), as were new venous thromboembolic events (14% vs 14%) and major bleeding complications (30% vs 20%). Rates of good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2, 42% vs 45%) and in-hospital death (39% vs 41%) did not differ.Discussion and conclusions: Three quarters of CVST-VITT patients in this study were women. Women were more severely affected at presentation, but clinical course and outcome did not differ between women and men. VITT-specific treatments were overall similar, but more women received endovascular treatment.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) has been reported after vaccination with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines ChAdOx1 nCov-19 (Oxford–AstraZeneca) and Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen/Johnson & Johnson). OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with and without TTS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cohort study used data from an international registry of consecutive patients with CVST within 28 days of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination included between March 29 and June 18, 2021, from 81 hospitals in 19 countries. For reference, data from patients with CVST between 2015 and 2018 were derived from an existing international registry. Clinical characteristics and mortality rate were described for adults with (1) CVST in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, (2) CVST after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination not fulling criteria for TTS, and (3) CVST unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. EXPOSURES: Patients were classified as having TTS if they had new-onset thrombocytopenia without recent exposure to heparin, in accordance with the Brighton Collaboration interim criteria. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Clinical characteristics and mortality rate. RESULTS: Of 116 patients with postvaccination CVST, 78 (67.2%) had TTS, of whom 76 had been vaccinated with ChAdOx1 nCov-19; 38 (32.8%) had no indication of TTS. The control group included 207 patients with CVST before the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 63 of 78 (81%), 30 of 38 (79%), and 145 of 207 (70.0%) patients, respectively, were female, and the mean (SD) age was 45 (14), 55 (20), and 42 (16) years, respectively. Concomitant thromboembolism occurred in 25 of 70 patients (36%) in the TTS group, 2 of 35 (6%) in the no TTS group, and 10 of 206 (4.9%) in the control group, and in-hospital mortality rates were 47% (36 of 76; 95% CI, 37-58), 5% (2 of 37; 95% CI, 1-18), and 3.9% (8 of 207; 95% CI, 2.0-7.4), respectively. The mortality rate was 61% (14 of 23) among patients in the TTS group diagnosed before the condition garnered attention in the scientific community and 42% (22 of 53) among patients diagnosed later. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study of patients with CVST, a distinct clinical profile and high mortality rate was observed in patients meeting criteria for TTS after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

9. Abstract P465: Magnitude of Blood Pressure Change and Clinical Outcomes After Thrombectomy in Ischemic Stroke Caused by Large Artery Occlusion

Author

Anadani, Mohammad, Matusevicius, Marius, Peeters, André, Paiva Nunes, Ana, De Havenon, Adam H, and Ahmed, Niaz

Abstract

Background:Extremes of both high and low systolic blood pressure (SBP) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large artery occlusion stroke are known predictors of unfavorable outcome. However, the effect of SBP change (ΔSBP) during the first 24 hour on MT outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between ΔSBP at different time intervals and thrombectomy outcomes.Methods:We analyzed thrombectomy treated patients registered in the SITS International Stroke Thrombectomy Registry from 2014-01-01 to 2019-09-03. The primary outcome was 3-month unfavorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 3-6). We defined ΔSBP as mean SBP of given time intervals after MT (0-2h, 2-4h, 4-12h, 12-24h) minus admission SBP. Multivariable mixed logistic regression models were used to adjust for known confounders and center as random effect. Subgroups analyses were included to contrast specific subpopulations. Restricted cubic splines were used to model the associations.Results:The study population consisted of 5835 patients (mean age 70 years, 51% male, median NIHSS 16). Mean ΔSBP was -12.3, -15.7, -17.2, and -16.9 for the time intervals 0-2h, 2-4h, 4-12h, 12-24h, respectively. Higher ΔSBP was associated with unfavorable outcome at all time intervals. Restricted cubic spline models suggested that increasing ΔSBP was associated with unfavorable outcomes, with higher values showing an even higher risk of unfavorable outcomes. (Figure 1). Successful reperfusion (mTICI ≥2b) retained an association between ΔSBP and outcomes, while unsuccessful reperfusion (mTICI <2b) did not.Conclusion:Up to our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relation between ΔSBP at different time intervals and the outcome of MT. BP increase after thrombectomy in large artery occlusion stroke is associated with poor functional outcome. The association between ΔSBP and poor outcome differed by reperfusion status.

10. Complications of pressure ulcers in severely ill patients: a descriptive-exploratory study.

Author

de Medeiros Dantas, Anna Lívia, Cabral Ferreira, Patrícia, Valença, Cecilia Nogueira, Dantas Diniz, Késsya, de Paiva Nunes, Jussara, and Medeiros Germano, Raimunda

Abstract

Aim: to identify the complications of pressure ulcers in severely ill patients from the perspective of the nurses. Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory study which adopts a qualitative approach involving a questionnaire to nurses working in an intensive care unit of Onofre Lopes Hospital, in Natal, Brazil. The data were submitted to the content analysis topics. Results: From the comments of the professionals, we generated a category "Complications of pressure ulcers in severely ill patients", and the subcategories "infection", "period of hospitalization", "hospital costs", "mortality" and "suffering". Discussion: Ulcers lead to infections and to an increase in microbiological resistance. They increase the period of hospitalization and the costs of treatment due to the resulting complications. Mortality is related to the worsening of clinical conditions. Suffering is a result of pain and dependency. Conclusion: For the nurses, pressure ulcers are complications that generate a worsening of clinical conditions of severely ill patients, which makes it necessary to adapt the treatment.

11. Successful Thrombolysis despite Having an Incidental Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysm

Author

Briosa e Gala, Diana, Almeida, André, Monteiro, Nadine, Paiva Nunes, Ana, Ferreira, Patrícia, Mendonça, Nuno, Amaral-Silva, Alexandre, and Alcântara, João

Abstract

Purpose. To report a case of successful thrombolysis performed in a patient with an incidental unruptured intracranial aneurysm and review the literature. Case Report. Patient admitted for ischemic stroke due to left posterior cerebral artery occlusion, with an incidental right middle cerebral artery aneurysm, who underwent treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) resulting in clinical improvement without complications. Conclusion. The presence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is considered as a contraindication to thrombolysis, due to a potentially higher hemorrhagic risk of aneurysm rupture. Patients, otherwise, eligible for thrombolysis are usually excluded from receiving this emergent treatment, despite its potential benefits. A reevaluation of the strict exclusion criteria for thrombolysis in acute stroke patients should be considered.
