Clinical characteristics of spontaneous intracranial basal ganglia hemorrhage and risk factors for hematoma expansion in the plateaus of China.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The clinical features of intracranial cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the risk factors for hematoma expansion (HE) have been extensively studied. However, few studies have been performed in patients who live on a plateau. The natural habituation and genetic adaptation have resulted in differences in disease characteristics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences and consistency of clinical and imaging characteristics of patients in the plateaus of China compared with the plains, and to analyze the risk factors for HE of intracranial hemorrhage in the plateau patients.

Methods

From January 2020 to August 2022, we undertook a retrospective analysis of 479 patients with first-episode spontaneous intracranial basal ganglia hemorrhage in
