Objectives:
To identify and compare published models that use related factors to predict the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving intravenous alteplase treatment.
Methods:
Risk prediction models for ICH in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving intravenous alteplase treatment were collected from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to April 7, 2023. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 13.0, and the included models were evaluated using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST).
Results:
A total of 656 references were screened, resulting in 13 studies being included. Among these, one was a prospective cohort study. Ten studies used internal validation; five studies used external validation, with two of them using both. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for subjects reported in the models ranged from 0.68 to 0.985. Common predictors in the prediction models include National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.09-1.25, p < 0.0001), glucose (OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.09-2.17, p < 0.05), and advanced age (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.15-1.94, p < 0.05), and the meta-analysis shows that these are independent risk factors. After PROBAST evaluation, all studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias but a low risk of applicability concerns.
Conclusion:
This study systematically reviews available evidence on risk prediction models for ICH in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving intravenous alteplase treatment. Few models have been externally validated, while the majority demonstrate significant discriminative power.
