Intraventricular hemorrhage expansion in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate whether delayed appearance of intraventricular hemorrhage (dIVH) represents an independent entity from intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) present on admission CT or is primarily related to the time interval between symptom onset and admission CT.

Methods

A total of 282 spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, admitted February 2009-March 2014 to the neurological intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital, were prospectively enrolled in the ICH Outcomes Project. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations with acute mortality and functional long-term outcome (modified Rankin Scale).

Results

A cohort of 282 ICH patients was retrospectively studied: 151 (53.5%) had intraventricular hemorrhage on ini
