Abstract：Objective To longitudinally analyze the changes in perioperative nutritional indicators in elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)and their correlation with the score of modified Rankin scale(mRS)score.Methods A total of 295 elderly ICH patients ad-mitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit of North China University of Science and Technolo-gy Affiliated Hospital from June 2022 to November 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this study.The levels of relevant nutritional indicators were measured before(T1),and in 1(T2),3(T3),5(T4)and 7 d(T5)after surgery.According to the mRS score in 90 d after onset of the disease,they were divided into a good prognosis group(mRS score≤ 2,114 cases)and a poor prognosis group(mRS score≥3,181 cases).The general data and levels of nutritional indicators at above time points were compared between the two groups.Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to study the relationship between the perioperative nutritional indicator levels and the prognosis in elderly patients with spontaneous ICH.Results The poor prognosis group had significantly higher SBP,larger proportions of stroke history,hemorrhage in the brainstem and midline dis-placement,and increased NIHSS score than the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Obvi-ously lower BMI(56.48±9.54 kg vs 66.62±8.12 kg),decreased serum levels of albumin[40.24(39.10,41.16)g/L vs 43.30(40.65,45.50)g/L],prealbumin[203.00(164.00,261.00)mg/L vs 229.00(180.00,282.00)mg/L]and TC[4.68(4.11,5.39)mmol/L vs 4.91(4.47,5.66)mmol/L],reduced lymphocyte count[1.58(0.95,2.03)× 109/L vs 1.77(1.99,1.91)× 109/L],and reduced GCS[7.00(5.00,10.00)vs 9.00(7.00,13.00)]and Barthel[55.00(43.00,64.00)vs 61.00(52.00,69.00)]scores at admission were observed in the poor prognosis group than the good prognosis group(all P＜0.01).At all different time points,the poor prognosis group also got notably higher Controlling Nutritional Status(CONUT)scores(reaching the highest levels at 3 d after opera-tion),and lower Prognostic Nutritional Index(PNI)score and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index(GNRI)score(both declining the lowest levels at same time)when compared with the poor prog-nosis group(all P＜0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that COUNT scores,PNI scores and GNRI scores before(T1)and at 1(T2),3(T3),5(T4)and 7 d(T5)after operation were independent risk factors for 90-day poor prognosis in elderly patients with spontaneous ICH.Conclusion The fluctuations of 3 nutritional indicators at different time points in the periopera-tive period are closely associated with the 90-day prognosis of elderly ICH patients.Monitoring the changes in the nutritional indicators can quickly and conveniently predict the prognosis of the pa-tients,which has high clinical application value.
