Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Following an intracerebral hemorrhage, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate correlated with poor outcomes, according to study results published in Neurology.

Total 1-year costs associated with intracerebral hemorrhage exceeded $120 million per year, according to results of a retrospective cohort study among adult patients in Ontario, Canada that were published in Neurology.

Intracerebral hemorrhage correlated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, according to results from an analysis of four population-based, U.S. cohort studies that was published in JAMA Neurology.

An analysis of more than 900 patients demonstrated significant differences in cerebral small vessel disease subtypes and severity among white and minority patients who survived a primary intracerebral hemorrhage.

A novel risk prediction score identified which patients with intracerebral hemorrhage are at low risk for critical care with a high degree of specificity, according to findings from a retrospective cohort study published in Neurology.

Acute stroke case fatality decreased substantially between 2003 and 2017 at the same time that discharge to home or rehabilitation increased and long-term care admissions decreased, according to a Canadian study.

Ideal American Heart Association CV health scores were associated with substantially lower risks for stroke, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and unspecified stroke, but not subarachnoid hemorrhage, researchers reported.

A biomarker panel with retinol binding protein 4, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide and glial fibrillary acid protein discerned ischemic stroke from intracerebral hemorrhage with modest accuracy, researchers reported in Neurology.

Rates of ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage remained steady in adults aged 18 to 49 years while decreasing in older adults, particularly in those aged 70 years and older, according to results from a 13-year study.

Preceding hospitalization for acute COPD exacerbation was associated with increased risk for 90-day and overall mortality of cardiovascular events, according to a study published in CHEST.
