Risk of Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage After Stroke: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke and traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (tICH) are major causes of disability worldwide, with stroke exerting significant negative effects on the brain, potentially elevating tICH risk. In this study, we investigated tICH risk in stroke survivors.

Methods and results

Using relevant data (2017-2019) from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study. Patients were categorized into stroke and nonstroke groups, and tICH risk was compared using a Cox proportional-hazards model. Among 164 628 patients with stroke, 1004 experienced tICH. Patients with stroke had a higher tICH risk than nonstroke counterparts (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 3.49 [95% CI, 3.17-3.84]). Subgroup analysis by stroke type rev
