Major Cardiovascular Events After Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Hematoma Location.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Survivors of spontaneous (ie, nontraumatic and with no known structural cause) intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have an increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACEs), including recurrent ICH, ischemic stroke (IS), and myocardial infarction (MI). Only limited data are available from large, unselected population studies assessing the risk of MACEs according to index hematoma location.

Objective

To examine the risk of MACEs (ie, the composite of ICH, IS, spontaneous intracranial extra-axial hemorrhage, MI, systemic embolism, or vascular death) after ICH based on ICH location (lobar vs nonlobar).

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study identified 2819 patients in southern Denmark (population of 1.2 million) 50 years or older hospitalized with
