Huang C, Chen J., et al. - Among successfully weaned intracranial hemorrhage prolonged mechanical ventilation patients, this retrospective analysis was performed to determine the factors impacting the one-year survival. Long-term follow-up data on 69 patients were analyzed. The estimated 1-year survival rate was 43.5%. The following factors were unrelated to the 1-year survival rate: comorbidities, intracranial hemorrhage type, spontaneous or traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, location of the intracerebral hemorrhage, presence or not of an intraventricular hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage surgery, and tracheostomy. Glasgow Coma Scale score at discharge from the respiratory care center, age ≥ 65 years, signed do-not-resuscitate and do-not-intubate orders, and the absence of comorbidity were the four factors that showed independent link with the 1-year survival rate of these patients. Overall, Glasgow Coma Scale score of the patients at discharge from the respiratory care center was identified as a crucial predictor of outcomes in this study sample.
