The potential for minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation in routine healthcare: applicability of the ENRICH trial criteria to an unselected cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Following the favorable outcomes demonstrated by the Early MiNimally-invasive Removal of IntraCerebral Hemorrhage (ENRICH) trial in supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and considering the increasing interest in MIS, we aimed to assess the potential eligibility rate for ICH patients in Sweden.

Methods

All patients with spontaneous ICH in the Swedish Stroke Register (RS) during 2017-2020 in Skane county (1.37 million) were assessed. Baseline imaging was used for radiological characterization. Clinical data were obtained from RS. MIS eligibility in the total ICH population meeting ENRICH criteria were estimated and extrapolated to the Swedish population (10.5 million).

Results

Of 1,314 ICH patien
