Prevalence and Outcomes of Orthostatic Hypotension in Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients During Hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is highly prevalent in hospitalized patients and can lead to major consequences. The prevalence of OH among patients with stroke has also been reported to be high in in-patient cohorts. However, no previous analysis has focused exclusively on patients with hemorrhagic stroke, a group that may have a different disease profile, including a greater need for blood pressure control and surgical intervention. This study aims to examine the prevalence of OH, its risk factors, and potential impact in patients who were hospitalized due to hemorrhagic stroke.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of in-patient records between 1 January 2021 and 30 April 2023 was conducted for patients with stroke due to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or su
