3 Introduction Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in Western society 1. The stroke syndrome is clinically defined as a rapid development of focal neurological deficits of vascular origin 2. Stroke can be distinguished in ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke 3. Ischemic stroke (infarction) is the most common type of cerebrovascular accident (80%), and occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery and interrupts the brain s blood supply, depriving the brain cells of oxygen and other nutrients. Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by rupture of a blood vessel resulting in the infiltration of blood into the surrounding tissue, either inside the brain tissue (intracerebral hemorrhage: 15%) or in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage: 5%). In the Netherlands, the incidence rate of stroke is estimated at 170 to 190 in 100,000 inhabitants per year. This incidence will increase due to ageing of the population and epidemiological transitions 4. About 120,000 to 140,000 stroke survivors are living in the Netherlands at present 5. It has been estimated that the number of stroke survivors in the Netherlands will increase with 27% over the period Functional outcome after stroke The clinical presentation of stroke varies from minor neurological symptoms to severe deficits, depending on the location and volume of the brain lesion Neurological deficits or impairments such as hemiparesis (80% 90%) 11, communication disorders and disorders in visuo-spatial perception often cause disabilities such as diminished mobility and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) 11, 12. At 6-months poststroke, 20 30% of patients have died, whereas 20 30% of stroke survivors are moderately to severely disabled, 20 25% are mildly disabled, and others have no deficits at all 13. In 2001, the World Health Organization published the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a model for the description of the components of health 12, 14 (Figure 1). This model is widely used as a theoretical framework for outcome research. Functional outcome (and recovery) can be classified into levels of body functions and structures (i.e., impairments), activities (functional impact of impairment) and participation (social impact of the disease). Patients show a more or less functional recovery in time 12, 15, 16. Functional recovery is affected by a variety of biological and environmental factors and recovery profiles are characterized by a high inter-individual variability 12, Chapter 1 11 Schiemanck_totaal_v4.indd :13:14

Schematic representation of the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Prediction of outcome Early prediction of functional outcome after stroke is an important topic in stroke management and related research 17, 20, 21. For the rehabilitation physician as well as for the neurologist, a valid early prognosis of functional outcome for the individual stroke patient is required to inform the patient and his relatives adequately, to facilitate discharge planning 19, and to initiate an optimal rehabilitation program with realistic therapeutic goals 15, 16. Over the last decade, several studies have evaluated determinants that might be used to forecast functional outcome of stroke patients early after stroke 18, 21, 22. A critical review of the literature 21 indicated that several clinical and demographic variables might be valid predictors of general functional recovery, including factors such as consciousness at onset, disorientation in time and place, sitting balance and severity of motor deficits. For example, urine continence status, initial level of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and age are valid predictors of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 6-months poststroke 18. Many prediction models for outcome of stroke patients have been proposed since, but their predictive validity appeared to be rather poor 10, 13, 18, 21, Furthermore, previous research studies have assessed functional outcome at different levels of outcome using the ICF, thereby making a comparison between these studies difficult. Ischemic lesion characteristics and functional outcome A stroke lesion is characterized by its volume and its neuro-anatomic localization in the brain. The development of new neuro-imaging methods has made it possible 12 Chapter 1 Schiemanck_totaal_v5.indd :55:57
5 to easily and accurately determine infarct volume and localization 10, 25, 27. Neuroimaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are crucial for differentiating between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. Brain CT shows the relevant infarct in 50 60% of patients with an ischemic stroke 28. However, absence of a visible infarct does not mean that the patient did not have a stroke 29. MRI more often than CT shows cortical involvement of infarctions and reveals more silent lesions 28. Neuro-imaging characteristics of the ischemic brain lesion are known to relate to the patient s neurological deficits 30, 31. The neuro-anatomic localization of the brain lesion and its volume are believed to be an important parameter reflecting the primary pathological condition, since a larger lesion volume means more destruction of brain tissue, and the extent of this pathological condition relates to neurological deficits and therefore functional outcome The modesty of the correlation between CT infarct volume and standard measures of clinical outcome suggested that CT volume could be considered a somewhat useful but imperfect auxiliary outcome marker for ischemic stroke studies 34. MRI techniques have provided better early biological markers of treatment effectiveness. For example, T2-weighted MRI measures have greater spatial resolution and sensitivity to ischemic injury than CT attenuation 35. Few studies have compared conventional MR measures of infarct volume and clinical end points, but the largest of these supported the hypothesis that MR measures correlate more closely with functional outcome 36. A better understanding of the impact of the volume and localization of the brain lesion by its disruption of neuro-anatomic structures, leading to neurological deficits and therefore to specific loss of body functions such as physical and cognitive impairments, might give the physician a tool to directly relate neurological deficits to a patient s activity limitations and to better forecast the long-term functional outcome of the individual stroke patient 34. From previous studies it was concluded that prognostic research should measure functional outcome beyond 6-months poststroke, since functional improvement may extent beyond 6 months 15, 37 after the stroke incident. In order to increase the accuracy of prediction models, prognostic studies should restrict their patient selection to more homogeneous groups in terms of lesion location and stroke subtype 20, 38. Furthermore, it has been recommended that studies should enroll sufficient numbers of patients to improve the precision of the prediction model they derive and to reveal the added value of MRI volume measurements compared with clinical determinants 34 Scope of this thesis The research in this thesis focused on gaining a better understanding of the relationship between ischemic lesion characteristics and long-term functional outcome of the stroke survivor. A homogeneous group of stroke survivors with a first-ever supratentorial middle cerebral artery infarct was investigated. Functional outcome of stroke survivors was assessed after two weeks and after 1-year poststroke. Functional outcome was Chapter 1 13 Schiemanck_totaal_v4.indd :13:15
6 evaluated at the levels of body functions, activities, participation (ICF) and quality of life 14. Neuro-imaging characteristics were obtained from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). A standardized scanning protocol using conventional MRI scanning method for all participating hospitals and a valid and reliable assessment for estimating the volume and localization of infarcts was used 27, 30. Research Questions 1) What is the methodological quality of MRI studies evaluating the predictive value of hemispheric infarct volume for neurological deficits and poststroke functional outcome? (Systematic Review, Chapter 2) 2) What is the relationship between lesion volume and functional outcome of the stroke survivor? a. In the subacute phase poststroke (i.e., second week after stroke) (Chapter 3) b. In the long-term poststroke (i.e., 1 year after stroke) (Chapter 4) 3) Does neuro-imaging information from MRI scans have an added value next to clinical variables, in predicting independency in ADL of stroke survivors at 1-year poststroke? (Chapter 5) 4) Is there a relationship between lesion localization and long-term functional recovery of the stroke survivor? a. With respect to motor deficits, i.e. isolated motor hand function (Chapter 6) b. With respect to cognitive disorders, i.e. episodic (verbal and visual) memory performance (Chapter 7) 14 Chapter 1 Schiemanck_totaal_v4.indd :13:15
