Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlativity between the serum calcium concentration and the hematoma volume in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods The clinical data of 185 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Pinggu Hospital from October 2012 to August 2014 were analyzed retrospectively, including the patients' sex, age, blood pressure on admission (systolic and diastolic blood pressure), blood glucose, platelet count, coagulative function, hematoma location, hematoma volume, serum calcium, serum magnesium, and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase. The factors associated with the amount of hematoma in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage were investigated. Multiple stepwise linear regression and variance analysis were used for correlation analysis. Results Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that both serum calcium and glucose were associated with the hematoma volume in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage (all P 0.05). The hematoma volume in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage was negatively correlated with the serum calcium level; it was positively correlated with the blood glucose level. Conclusions The serum calcium ion level may reflect the size of hematoma volume in cerebral hemorrhage and the severity of the disease. Key words: Cerebral hemorrhage; Serum calcium; Blood glucose; Hematoma
