Abstract：
Background: The prognostic value of the fibrinogen to albumin ratio on intrahospital mortality has been investigated in patients with cardiovascular disease, cancer, sepsis, and ischemic stroke; however, it has not been investigated for neurosurgical patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The present study investigates the impact of the fibrinogen to albumin ratio upon admission for intrahospital mortality in neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients with spontaneous ICH. Methods: A total of 198 patients with diagnosis of spontaneous ICH treated from 10/2008 to 12/2017 at our ICU were retrospectively analyzed. Blood samples were drawn upon admission, and the patients’ demographic, medical data, and cranial imaging were collected. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors for intrahospital mortality. Results: The total rate of intrahospital mortality was 35.4% (n = 70). In the multivariate regression analysis, higher fibrinogen to albumin ratio (OR = 1.16, CI = 1.02−1.31, p = 0.03) upon admission was an independent predictor of intrahospital mortality in neurosurgical ICU patients with ICH. Moreover, a fibrinogen to albumin ratio cut-off level of >0.075 was related to increased intrahospital mortality (Youden’s index = 0.26, sensitivity = 0.51, specificity = 0.77). Conclusion: A fibrinogen to albumin ratio > 0.075 was significantly associated with increased intrahospital mortality in ICH patients.
