Natural history of recovery after intracerebral haemorrhage: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Clinical trials for intracerebral haemorrhage typically measure outcomes in the same way and at the same time points as trials for ischaemic stroke. However, there is growing evidence that the trajectory of recovery following intracerebral haemorrhage may differ significantly from that following ischaemic stroke. A better understanding of current approaches to outcome assessment is essential to ensure that future trials examining treatments for intracerebral haemorrhage are designed appropriately.

Objective

To determine when and how outcomes are measured in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage.

Methods and analysis

With the assistance of an information specialist, we will conduct a scoping review by searching MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register
