Increasing evidence has shown the importance of erythrocytes in hemostasis, with lower hemoglobin levels associated with coagulopathy and bleeding. The role of lower hemoglobin levels in HE after ICH is unknown.
We sought to investigate whether lower hemoglobin concentrations are associated with hematoma expansion (HE) after primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and its effect on outcome.
Consecutive ICH patients admitted to a tertiary referral academic center between 2009 and 2016 with admission hemoglobin levels and available neuroimaging to calculate HE were enrolled in an ICH cohort study. Secondary ICH, non-medication related coagulopathy, and patients presenting 24 hours after symptom onset were excluded. HE was defined as >33% or >6mL growth on follow-up CT scan. The association of admission hemoglobin with HE and poor 3-month outcomes (modified Rankin Scale 4-6) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression models. Mediation analysis investigated causal relationships between hemoglobin, HE, and outcome.
Of 256 ICH patients, 63 (25%) had HE. Patients with HE had significantly more antiplatelet and anticoagulant medication use and faster symptom onset to admission CT times (median: 3.5 vs. 6.9 hours) compared to those without. There was a significant association of lower hemoglobin and increased odds of HE (OR 0.80 per 1g/dL hemoglobin change; 95%CI: 0.67-0.97) adjusting for age, sex, race, and covariates of HE. Lower hemoglobin was also associated with poor 3-month outcomes (OR 0.76; 95%CI: 0.62-0.94) adjusting for ICH score. Mediation analysis revealed that associations of low hemoglobin levels with poor outcomes were mediated by HE (p=0.01).

We identified independent associations of lower admission hemoglobin levels with HE and poor outcomes following ICH with HE mediating these worse outcomes.
