This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing neuroendoscopic hematoma removal to craniotomy in the treatment of large intracerebral hemorrhage.
Previous retrospective studies have demonstrated that neuroendoscopic surgery, compared to conventional craniotomy, significantly reduces operative duration and intraoperative blood loss, enhances hematoma evacuation rates, and improves postoperative outcomes, including neurological recovery, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with large cerebral hemorrhage. However, there is a paucity of prospective randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of different surgical techniques for intracerebral hemorrhage. To address this gap, the investigators propose a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial to compare the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopic surgery versus craniotomy, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making in cerebral hemorrhage management.

RECRUITINGThe proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-3
Functional outcome (comparing the intervention group to the control), assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months.The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.
Time frame: 180 days
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score
The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.
Time frame: 180 days
mortality
All cause mortality from onset to 180 days
Time frame: 30 days, 90 days and 180 days
Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)
GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.
Time frame: 180 days
Assessment of cognitive function with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
The MMSE is a screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language); the total score can range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better function.
Time frame: 90 days and 180 days
Quality of life measured with the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L)
The EQ-5D-5L is a standard measure of health-related quality of life.EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and a visual analog scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. The 5D-5L systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where a higher score indicates a better health state. The VAS records the participant's health on a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with 0 indicating "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicating "the best health you can imagine". Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.
Time frame: 30 days and 180 days
