Race/ethnicity influences outcomes in young adults with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We investigated the predictors of functional outcome in young patients enrolled in a multiethnic study of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods

The Ethnic/Racial Variations in Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ERICH) study is a prospective multicenter study of ICH among adult (age ≥18 years) non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic participants. The study recruited 1,000 participants per racial/ethnic group. The present study utilized the subset of ERICH participants aged <50 years with supratentorial ICH. Functional outcome was ascertained using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with poor outcome (mRS 4-6), and analyses were compared by race/ethnicity to identify differences across these
