Antihypertensive Medication Class and Functional Outcomes After Nonlobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Hypertension is the predominant pathology underlying nonlobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and antihypertensive agents have distinct biological implications for cerebral microvasculature. It is unknown if the class of antihypertensive medications initiated after ICH affects functional outcome beyond blood pressure (BP) control.

Objective

To ascertain the association between the class of antihypertensive agents initiated during hospitalization and 90-day functional outcome in nonlobar ICH.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study uses data from the Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ERICH) study, a case-control cohort study investigating ICH risk factors among Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black (hereafter Black), and non-Hispanic W
