背景
2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 的高凝状态导致深静脉血栓形成和肺栓塞,需要全身抗凝。通气的 COVID-19 患者脑内出血的病例报告需要采取预防措施。然而,目前尚不清楚是否与其他 ARDS 患者相比,患有急性呼吸窘迫综合征 (ARDS) 的 COVID-19 患者在接受或不接受静脉-静脉体外膜肺氧合治疗 (VV-ECMO) 的情况下发生更多的脑出血 (ICH)。
方法
我们进行了一项回顾性观察性单中心研究,从 01/2018 到 05/2020 招募了所有 ARDS 患者。患有 ARDS 的 PCR 阳性 SARS-CoV-2 患者被分配到 COVID-19 组。对年龄、VV-ECMO 和出血风险进行倾向评分匹配。
结果
共确定了 163 名中度或重度 ARDS 患者,其中 COVID-19 组 47 人(28.8%),非 COVID-19 组 116 人(71.2%)。在 63/163 例 (38.7%) 中,需要 VV-ECMO 治疗。ICU生存率为52.8%。COVID-19 患者年龄较大,男性较多,SOFA 评分较低,但两组患者的 VV-ECMO 治疗率相似。 在 COVID-19 患者中,抗血小板药物 ( p = 0.043) 和治疗性抗凝剂 ( p = 0.028) 的治疗频率明显更高。在 22 名患者 (13.5%) 中检测到 ICH,两组之间没有统计学差异(分别为 11.2% 和 19.1%,有和没有 SARS-CoV-2,p = 0.21)。倾向评分匹配证实了两组的 ICH 发生率相似(在有和没有 SARS-CoV-2 的情况下分别为 12.8% 和 19.1%,p = 0.57),从而消除了可能的混杂因素。
结论
每 10 名 ARDS 患者检测到脑出血。尽管 COVID-19 患者的抗血小板治疗和治疗性抗凝治疗率在统计学上更高,但我们发现与其他原因导致的 ARDS 相比,COVID-19 导致的 ARDS 患者的 ICH 发生率相似。

Intracerebral Hemorrhage in COVID-19 Patients with Pulmonary Failure: A Propensity Score-Matched Registry Study
Background
Hypercoagulability in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism necessitating systemic anticoagulation. Case reports of intracerebral hemorrhages in ventilated COVID-19 patients warrant precaution. It is unclear, however, if COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with or without veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (VV-ECMO) have more intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) compared to other ARDS patients.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective observational single-center study enrolling all patients with ARDS from 01/2018 to 05/2020. PCR-positive SARS-CoV-2 patients with ARDS were allocated to the COVID-19 group. Propensity score matching was performed for age, VV-ECMO, and bleeding risk.
Results
A total of 163 patients with moderate or severe ARDS were identified, 47 (28.8%) in the COVID-19 group, and 116 (71.2%) in the non-COVID-19 group. In 63/163 cases (38.7%), VV-ECMO therapy was required. The ICU survival was 52.8%. COVID-19 patients were older, more often male, and exhibited a lower SOFA score, but the groups showed similar rates of VV-ECMO therapy. Treatments with antiplatelet agents (p = 0.043) and therapeutic anticoagulation (p = 0.028) were significantly more frequent in the COVID-19 patients. ICH was detected in 22 patients (13.5%) with no statistical difference between the groups (11.2 vs. 19.1% with and without SARS-CoV-2, respectively, p = 0.21). Propensity score matching confirmed similar rates of ICH in both groups (12.8 vs. 19.1% with and without SARS-CoV-2, respectively, p = 0.57), thus leveling out possible confounders.
Conclusions
Intracerebral hemorrhage was detected in every tenth patient with ARDS. Despite statistically higher rates of antiplatelet therapy and therapeutic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients, we found a similar rate of ICH in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 compared to other causes of ARDS.
