Relationships of Hemoglobin Concentration, Ischemic Lesions, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemoglobin concentration and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) ischemic lesions are separately known to be associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes. While hemoglobin concentrations have known relationships with ischemic stroke, it is unclear whether hemoglobin concentration is associated with DWI ischemic lesions after ICH. We sought to investigate the hypothesis that hemoglobin concentrations would associate with DWI lesions after ICH and further investigated their relationships with clinical outcomes.

Methods

Supratentorial ICH patients enrolled between 2010 and 2016 to a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study (ERICH study [Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage]) were assessed. Patients from this study with baselin
