Admission anemia and 90-day outcomes after supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage: a township-level cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anemia is associated with worse stroke outcomes, but prior studies seldom focus on patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treated in township-level primary hospitals.

Methods

We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of consecutive adults with spontaneous supratentorial ICH and available 90-day outcomes. Anemia was defined by prespecified sex-specific hemoglobin thresholds at admission. The primary outcome was the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS 0-6) analyzed with a partial proportional-odds model. Secondary outcomes were mRS 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, and 90-day all-cause mortality. Prespecified covariates were adjusted in all models. Exploratory mediation analyses assessed whether baseline hematoma volume mediated the associa
