Popis: Introduction: Hematoma volume predicts poor outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), while outcome associations with perihematomal edema (PHE) remain controversial. Prior studies using non-standardized timing of serial CT imaging reported larger ICH and PHE volumes in men than women, but worse outcome in women. Leveraging data from a cohort with early admission and time-locked follow-up imaging, we investigated the role of sex on PHE and outcomes. Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the randomized FAST (Factor VII for Acute-Hemorrhagic Stroke Treatment) trial. Participants underwent CT imaging within 3 hours of symptom onset, and at 24 and 72 hours. Lesion volumes were calculated using computerized planimetric techniques (AnalyzeDirect). Outcomes (modified Rankin Scale, mRS) were assessed at 90 days. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA tested whether changes in lesion volumes were driven by an interaction between sex and time. Multivariable logistic regression tested for associations between PHE and poor outcome (mRS 4-6). Results: Of 842 subjects, 781 with supratentorial ICH (mean age 65 years, 38% women) were included. Men (n=485) compared to women (n=296) had similar mean ICH and PHE volumes at baseline (p=0.063 and p=0.98) but larger ICH and PHE at 24 hours (p=0.002 and p=0.017) and 72 hours (p=0.002 and p=0.003). All volumes varied over CT time points according to sex (Figure 1 A-C, all three ANOVA: p Conclusions: Men had greater early lesion expansion than women. In both sexes, PHE expanded beyond 24 hours and was associated with poor outcome. While mechanisms explaining sex differences need further investigation, future ICH studies should be carefully adjusted for sex.
