Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of our study was to investigate the presenting conditions of patients with hemorrhagic transformation (HT), the frequency of HT and its treatments at a rehabilitation hospital.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 165 patients with cerebral infarctions transferred to our rehabilitation hospital during the study period were enrolled. HT was diagnosed by two stroke specialists using computed tomography (CT) at the time of transfer to our rehabilitation hospital and other imaging data from previous consultations. Neurological status, activities of daily living, administered agents, patient age, duration from stroke onset to transfer and length of hospital stay were examined.

RESULTS: 30 of the 165 patients (18.2%) were diagnosed with HT. Decreased activities of daily living at admission and discharge as well as longer hospitalization stays were more prevalent in HT patients than in those without HT. We did not change antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents, but continued rehabilitation over a defined period while monitoring blood pressure; we confirmed with CT that the patients' physical conditions did not deteriorate.

CONCLUSION: With careful symptom and CT monitoring over a defined period, rehabilitation can be continued in patients who develop HT at the time of transfer to a rehabilitation hospital in the acute phase of cerebral infarction.
