Intracerebral haemorrhage is a serious complication after carotid endarterectomy. We tried to identify predictors of this event. Two-hundred-and-thirty-three operations were selected from a total of 280 because of reliable intraoperative transcranial Doppler data with regards to the increase of peak blood flow velocities and pulsatility indices in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery after release of the internal carotid artery cross-clamp. We also recorded the occurrence of unilateral throbbing headache or hypertension after the operation. Five patients developed an intracerebral haemorrhage after the operation. Seventeen patients developed headache or hypertension after surgery, four of whom developed an intracerebral haemorrhage (p < 0.001; Fisher's exact test). The positive predictive value of headache, hypertension, or both, for intracerebral haemorrhage was 24% (diagnostic gain 22%). The negative predictive value, sensitivity and specificity were 99, 80 and 94%, respectively. The increase of peak blood flow velocities and pulsatility indices in patients who developed intracerebral haemorrhage was significantly higher than in patients who did not (p < 10(-5); one-way ANOVA). With appropriate cut-off levels for the increase of peak blood flow velocities (> or = 175% increase) or pulsatility indices (> or = 100% increase) after release of the cross-clamps, the positive predictive value of intraoperative transcranial Doppler for intracerebral haemorrhage was 100% (diagnostic gain 98%). The negative predictive value, sensitivity and specificity were 99, 80 and 100%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
