Projecting US Population Eligibility for Minimally Invasive Surgical Evacuation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimally invasive surgical evacuation improved outcomes for patients with acute, spontaneous, lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the ENRICH trial (Early Minimally Invasive Removal of ICH). We determined the percentage of patients with ICH in a US population-based study eligible for minimally invasive surgical evacuation and projected the annual number of patients with ICH in the United States in 2020 eligible for this therapy.
