Brief Summary

Stroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide, with 2%-8% of these being large hemispheric infarction (LHI) with an occupying effect and the worst prognosis. Even with medical and surgical treatment, the mortality of LHI with cerebral edema is as high as 20% to 30%. Current guidelines recommend supportive supervision, osmotic drugs, and decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) for the treatment of LHI, but not all patients with LHI are suitable for DHC, and not all of them can afford the high cost of DHC. In the real-world, the use of osmotic drugs is more common than DHC. The guideline recommends using mannitol or hypertonic saline to reduce cerebral edema and tissue displacement in patients with cerebral edema. Mannitol is the most widely used and longest-standing osmotic drug, and since 1965, hypertonic saline has been used to treat intracranial hypertension. Most of the previous studies compare the efficacy of DHC over medical therapy or compare the efficacy of mannitol with hypertonic saline, but there is an absence of clinical data on whether osmotic drug therapy can improve the clinical prognosis of patients with large hemispheric infarction at 90 days or even longer. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the osmotic drug and clinical outcomes in large hemispheric infarction, with the aim of informing clinical decisions.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Acute large hemispheric infarction: CT within 6 hours of onset showing hypointense areas \> 1/3 of the middle cerebral artery territory, or \> 50% of the middle cerebral artery territory within 6 hours to 72 hours of onset.

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Within 72 hours of onset of the stroke
  • Meets the diagnostic criteria for acute ischaemic stroke in the "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2018"
  • Meeting the diagnostic criteria for massive cerebral infarction in the "Guidelines for the Surgical Treatment of Massive Cerebral Infarction": CT within 6 hours of onset showing hypointense areas \> 1/3 of the middle cerebral artery territory, or \> 50% of the middle cerebral artery territory within 6 hours to 72 hours of onset;
  • The patient consented and signed an informed consent form.

You may not qualify if:

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • in combination with other serious comorbidities resulting in a life expectancy of less than 3 months
  • Those who are allergic or intolerant to osmotic drugs;
  • Those who have participated in other interventional clinical studies (which affecting the observation of outcomes in this cohort);
  • Those with a previous history of stroke and significant residual neurological disability (mRS ≥ 2 points)
  • Those who, in the judgment of the investigator, are not suitable for participation in this study
