Characterisation of DWI-MRI confirmed cerebral infarcts in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and their association with MMP-9 levels.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:It has been suggested that metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) could predict the onset of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoidal haemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to analyse, in patients with SAH, the difference between patients with MRI ischaemic infarcts and patients without, and to investigate the role of metalloproteases as a prognostic factor for ischaemic infarcts. METHODS:Sixty eight consecutive patients with SAH and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) done 3 weeks after SAH. We define two groups, with and without DWI-MRI infarcts. Blood samples were taken at entry, 3 days and 1 week MMP-9 was determined through ELISA method. RESULTS:Forty per cent were male, with a mean age of 54 ± 14 years. Twenty five patients, 36.8%, had DWI-MRI infarcts; in patients with MRI infarcts, SAH was more severe (Fisher = 4 52 vs 25.6%, P = 0.037), with more morbi-mortality (Rankin>3 48 vs 18.6%, P = 0.014), and more symptomatic vasospasm (28 vs 7%, P = 0.031). Levels of MMP-9 were higher than controls, but there were no significant differences between patients with and without infarcts (first determination no infarcts 39.40 ng/ml ± 35.40 vs infarcts 49.75 ng/ml ± 34.54, P > 0.005, 3 days no infarcts 72.10 ng/ml ± 70.95 vs infarcts 62.28 ± 33.84, P > 0.005, 1 week no infarcts 148.48 ng/ml ± 142.73 vs infarcts 91.5 ng/ml ± 1.20, P > 0.005). CONCLUSION:Thirty eight percent in a well-studied series of patients with SAH have DWI-MRI infarcts; the infarcts were associated to SAH severity, SAH outcome and symptomatic vasospasm. Metalloproteinase-9 was higher in SAH patients than in controls, but it could not discriminate the infarct patients.
