The study aims to explore the role of inflammatory parameters in predicting acute hemorrhage in cerebral cavernous malformations.
Retrospective analysis of 87 patients with cerebral cavernous malformations who underwent resection from 2008 to 2021.
Patients were divided into those with acute hemorrhage and a control group without acute hemorrhage.
Inflammatory parameters like white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and others were evaluated.
White blood cell count ≥6.595 G/L predicted acute hemorrhage with a diagnostic accuracy AUC of 0.74.
A higher white blood cell count was confirmed as an independent predictor for acute hemorrhage with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.5.
Leukocytosis highlights the role of neuroinflammation in acute hemorrhage of cerebral cavernous malformations.
