Item type:Publication, Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in intracerebral hemorrhage: Relevance as prognostic markers for quantification of the edema volume(Wiley, 2023-03); ;Aleksovski, Boris ;Mihajlovska Rendevska, Ana; We aimed to analyze the inflammatory and oxidative stress (OS) markers after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and their temporal changes, interaction effects, and prognostic values as biomarkers for the prediction of the edema volume. Our prospective, longitudinal study included a cohort group of 73 conservatively treated patients with ICH, without hematoma expansion or intraventricular bleeding, which were initialized with the same treatment and provided with the same in-hospital care during the disease course. Study procedures included multilevel comprehensive analyses of clinical and neuroimaging data, aligned with the exploration of 19 inflammatory and five OS markers. White blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), neutrophilia, and lymphopenia peaked 3 days post-ICH, and they showed much stronger correlations with clinical and neuroimaging variables, when compared to the admission values. An intricate interplay among inflammatory (WBC, CRP, neutrophils, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10) and OS mechanisms (catalase activity and advanced oxidation protein products [AOPP]) was detected operating 3-days post-ICH, being assessed as relevant for prediction of the edema. The overall results suggested complex pathology of formation of post-ICH edema, via: (A) Not additive, but statistically significant synergistic interactions between CRP-ESR, neutrophils-CRP, and neutrophils-IL-6 as drivers for the edema formation; (B) Significant antagonistic effect of high protein oxidation on the CRP-edema dependence, suggesting a mechanism of potential OS-CRP negative feedback loop and redox inactivation of CRP. The final multiple regression model separated the third-day variables NLR, CRP × AOPP, and WBC, as significant prognostic biomarkers for the prediction of the edema volume, with NLR being associated with the highest effect size. Our developed mathematical equation with 3D modeling for prediction and quantification of the edema volume might be beneficial for taking timely adequate strategies for prevention of delayed neurological deteriorations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, SARS-CoV-2 infection and venous thromboembolism after surgery: an international prospective cohort study(Wiley, 2022-01) ;COVIDSurg Collaborative* and GlobalSurg Collaborative*; ; ; Chokleska, NSARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis from an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency patients undergoing surgery during October 2020. Patients from all surgical specialties were included. The primary outcome measure was venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) within 30 days of surgery. SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was defined as peri-operative (7 days before to 30 days after surgery); recent (1-6 weeks before surgery); previous (≥7 weeks before surgery); or none. Information on prophylaxis regimens or pre-operative anti-coagulation for baseline comorbidities was not available. Postoperative venous thromboembolism rate was 0.5% (666/123,591) in patients without SARS-CoV-2; 2.2% (50/2317) in patients with peri-operative SARS-CoV-2; 1.6% (15/953) in patients with recent SARS-CoV-2; and 1.0% (11/1148) in patients with previous SARS-CoV-2. After adjustment for confounding factors, patients with peri-operative (adjusted odds ratio 1.5 (95%CI 1.1-2.0)) and recent SARS-CoV-2 (1.9 (95%CI 1.2-3.3)) remained at higher risk of venous thromboembolism, with a borderline finding in previous SARS-CoV-2 (1.7 (95%CI 0.9-3.0)). Overall, venous thromboembolism was independently associated with 30-day mortality (5.4 (95%CI 4.3-6.7)). In patients with SARS-CoV-2, mortality without venous thromboembolism was 7.4% (319/4342) and with venous thromboembolism was 40.8% (31/76). Patients undergoing surgery with peri-operative or recent SARS-CoV-2 appear to be at increased risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism compared with patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Optimal venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and treatment are unknown in this cohort of patients, and these data should be interpreted accordingly. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Timing of surgery following SARS ‐ CoV ‐ 2 infection: an international prospective cohort study(Association of Anaesthetists, 2021-03) ;COVIDSurg Collaborative GlobalSurg Collaborative; ; Peri‐operative SARS‐CoV‐2 infection increases postoperative mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of planned delay before surgery in patients who have had SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study included patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery during October 2020. Surgical patients with pre‐operative SARS‐CoV‐2 infection were compared with those without previous SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. The primary outcome measure was 30‐day postoperative mortality. Logistic regression models were used to calculate adjusted 30‐day mortality rates stratified by time from diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection to surgery. Among 140,231 patients (116 countries), 3127 patients (2.2%) had a pre‐operative SARS‐CoV‐2 diagnosis. Adjusted 30‐day mortality in patients without SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was 1.5% (95%CI 1.4–1.5). In patients with a pre‐operative SARS‐CoV‐2 diagnosis, mortality was increased in patients having surgery within 0–2 weeks, 3–4 weeks and 5–6 weeks of the diagnosis (odds ratio (95%CI) 4.1 (3.3–4.8), 3.9 (2.6–5.1) and 3.6 (2.0–5.2), respectively). Surgery performed ≥ 7 weeks after SARS‐CoV‐2 diagnosis was associated with a similar mortality risk to baseline (odds ratio (95%CI) 1.5 (0.9–2.1)). After a ≥ 7 week delay in undertaking surgery following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, patients with ongoing symptoms had a higher mortality than patients whose symptoms had resolved or who had been asymptomatic (6.0% (95%CI 3.2–8.7) vs. 2.4% (95%CI 1.4–3.4) vs. 1.3% (95%CI 0.6–2.0), respectively). Where possible, surgery should be delayed for at least 7 weeks following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Patients with ongoing symptoms ≥ 7 weeks from diagnosis may benefit from further delay. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Modeling prognostic factors for poor neurological outcome in conservatively treated patients with intracerebral hemorrhage: A focus on TNF-α(Elsevier BV, 2018-09); ;Aleksovski, Boris ;Stojanov, Dragan ;Mihajlovska Rendevska, AnaAleksovski, VaskoPrognostic models for Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), mainly based on clinical evaluation, have remained inherently confounded by subjective scoring assessments and limited accuracy. In this study, we aimed at assessing the risk for poor outcome after ICH based on peripheral biochemical markers (TNF-α, glutamate and glucose) and radiological variables (both at admission and five days after patient's care), for modeling purposes of prognostication. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Role of the radiological variables, clinical picture and values of C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocytes in the brain edema development and eary intrahospital mortality in patients with hemorrhagic cerebrovascular insult(Macedonian Association of Physiologists and Antropologists, 2020) ;Mihajlovska Rendevska, A ;Aleksovski, B; ;Aleksovski, VStojanov, DIntroduction: The development of brain edema is one of the key factors that cause early neurological deterioration in patients with hemorrhagic cerebrovascular insult (H-CVI). In this study we analyzed the impact of: radiological variables (initial volume and volume of the 5th day of the intracerebral hematoma (IH), clinical state at admission (scored on appropriate scale), as well as nonspecific inflammatory markers (leukocyte count and C-reactive protein - CRP). on the development of brain edema and early in-hospital mortality, in patients with H-CVI. Material and methods: 26 conservatively treated patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage treated at the University Clinics of Neurosurgery and Neurology in Skopje. Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate radiological variables, the Canadian Stroke Scale (CSS) for neurological status scoring, as well as biochemical analysis of blood taken in the first 24 hours, to measure leukocyte counts and CRP level. Results: 8 of 26 patients (30.8%) were with lethal outcome. Initial volume of IH had the strongest effect on the development of perifocal edema, with less impact but statistically significant were: clinical status on admission and age of the patients. The strongest effect on early in-hospital mortality had all radiological variables (hematoma volume at admission and after 5 days, as well as volume of perifocal edema measured after 5 days). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Surgical Outcome in Patients with Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-12-01); ;Stojanov, Dragan ;Aleksovski, Boris ;Mihajlovska Rendevska, Ana<jats:title>Summary</jats:title> <jats:p>The aim of the paper was to evaluate the surgical outcome in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after surgical intervention, in respect to the initial clinical conditions, age, sex, hemispheric side and anatomic localization of ICH. Thirty-eight surgically treated patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage were included in the study. The surgical outcome was evaluated three months after the initial admission, according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). The surgical treatment was successful in 14 patients (37%), whereas it was unsuccessful in 24 patients (63%). We have detected a significant negative correlation between the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores on admission and the GOS scores after three months, suggesting worse neurological outcome in patients with initially lower GCS scores. The surgical outcome in patients with ICH was not affected by the sex, the hemispheric side and the anatomic localization of ICH, but the age of the patients was estimated as a significant factor for their functional outcome, with younger patients being more likely to be treated successfully. The surgical outcome is affected from the initial clinical state of the patients and their age. The treatment of ICH is still an unsolved clinical problem and the development of new surgical techniques with larger efficiency in the evacuation of the hematoma is necessary, thus making a minimal damage to the normal brain tissue, as well as decreasing the possibility of postoperative bleeding.</jats:p> - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Effects of data transformation on multivariate analyses in intracerebral hemorrhage(Macedonian Pharmaceutical Association, 2016); ;Aleksovski, Boris ;Kolevska, Milena ;Stojanov, Dragan<jats:p>Multivariate statistical approaches have been increasingly applied in hemorrhagic stroke data analysis. Nevertheless, several aspects regarding their relevance and validity in respect of the application of data transformations have not been studied in details. This paper examines the effects of different data transformations in the standard statistical methods of the multivariate analysis of the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) parameters in small group samples. Two different methods for data transformations (log transformation (log(Xi )), square root transformation (√Xi ))have been carried out. The initial volume of the ICH have been studied using several test for skewness, kurtosis, histogram distribution method and different quartile-quartile (Q-Q) and probability-probability (P-P) plots as criteria for normal distribution. Multivariate analyses for the prediction of the perifocal edema was performed using raw and transformed data. Our results indicate that the data transformation operations should be performed very carefully because different analytical outputs lead to different scientific conclusions.</jats:p>
