Antithrombotic Treatment, Prehospital Blood Pressure, and Outcomes in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Background In acute intracerebral hemorrhage, both elevated blood pressure (BP) and antithrombotic treatment are associated with poor outcome. Our aim was to explore interactions between antithrombotic treatment and prehospital BP. Methods and Results This observational, retrospective study included adult patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage diagnosed by computed tomography within 24 hours, admitted to a primary stroke center during 2012 to 2019. The first recorded prehospital/ambulance systolic and diastolic BP were analyzed per 5 mm Hg increment. Clinical outcomes were in-hospital mortality, shift on the modified Rankin Scale at discharge, and mortality at 90 days. Radiological outcomes were initial hematoma volume and hematoma expansion. Antithrombotic (antiplatelet and/or
