Objective. To study whether gender influences outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods. Cohort study of 245 consecutive adults presenting to the emergency department with spontaneous ICH from January 2006 to December 2008. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, extradural hemorrhage, and recurrence of hemorrhage were excluded. Results. There were no differences noted between gender...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine 30-day mortality and 6-month functional recovery rates in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (S-ICH) patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and to compare the outcomes of these patients and S-ICH patients without ESRD. METHODS The medical records of 1943 S-ICH patients from January 2000 to December 2011...

Intraventricular hemorrhage is associated with poor functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to investigate the association between intraventricular hemorrhage and early hematoma expansion in patients with ICH. Patients with ICH who underwent a baseline CT scan within six hours after onset of symptoms were included. The follow-up CT scan was performed within...

eonatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is observed less frequently in full-term infants compared to preterm infants. However, the ICH in full-term infants has characteristics different from those in preterm infants. It has been suggested that the ICH in full-term infants is closely related to mechanical damage such as birth injury and perinatal hypoxic events, while in preterm infants they are a...

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the deadliest, most disabling and least treatable form of stroke despite progression in medical science. The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency, risk factors, localization and 30-day prognosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. We analyzed 352 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) hospitalized at the Department of Neurology Tuzla during a th...

BACKGROUND The prognosis in acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is related to hematoma volume, where >30 mL is commonly used to define large ICH as a threshold for neurosurgical decompression but without clear supporting evidence. OBJECTIVES To determine the factors associated with large ICH and neurosurgical intervention among participants of the Intensive Blood Pressure Reducti...

Introduction Advances in brain imaging have dramatically changed our understanding of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In the pre-CT era, many small ICHs were misclassified as ischemic strokes and patients with massive ICH or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were often difficult to correctly classify. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of non-traumatic ICH in light of modern neuroimaging and inc...

OF LOW DOSE ASPIRIN : DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in the fetus and newborn is a rare phenomenon with intra periventricular hemorrhage (IVH-PVH) being the most common type. The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage is higher in premature infants, occurring in approximately 25 45% of less than 32 weeks gestation or with a birth weight of less than 1,500g (Ref: 1, 2). Alt...

Recent advances in the evaluation and management of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include: the identification of molecular markers that correlate with events in its early course, complications, and outcome; the impact of previous treatment with antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents on the outcome after ICH; the analysis of the results of the large international STICH (Surgical Trial in Intracer...
