Factors associated with independent ambulation at 3 months after putaminal hemorrhage : an observational study

[Purpose] This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical indicators for predicting ambulation at 3 months after putaminal hemorrhage. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 84 inpatients with putaminal hemorrhage. The patients' background characteristics and computed tomography findings at the time of the onset of putaminal hemorrhage were obtained from their medical records. Impaired consciousness, severity of hemiplegia, higher brain dysfunction, sensory impairment, activities of daily living, and ambulatory ability were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with ambulation at 3 months, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to determine the predictive value of the identified factors and the optimal cut-off values. [Results] Ventricular rupture, severity of hemiplegia (determined using the 12-grade hemiplegia function test), and Functional Independence Measure cognitive score were found to be independent predictors of prognosis. Severity of hemiplegia was the strongest predictor of ambulation, with a sensitivity of 80.4% and specificity of 100% when the cut-off was set at grade 6 (the ability for coordinated movement of the extensor and flexor muscles of the hip joint). [Conclusion] The severity of hemiplegia, Functional Independence Measure cognitive score, and ventricular rupture were independently associated with ambulation in patients with putaminal hemorrhage. The ability of the hip joint movement is one of the most important factors in ambulation prognosis.
