Blood Pressure and Outcomes in Patients With Different Etiologies of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Multicenter Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background We aimed to investigate the association between blood pressure (BP) and outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) subtypes with different etiologies. Methods and Results A total of 5656 in-hospital patients with spontaneous ICH were included between January 2012 and December 2016 in a prospective multicenter cohort study. Etiological subtypes of ICH were assigned using SMASH-U (structural lesion, medication, amyloid angiopathy, systemic/other disease, hypertension, undetermined) classification. Elevated systolic BP was defined as ≥140 mm Hg. Hypertension was defined as elevated BP for >1 month before the onset of ICH. The primary outcomes were measured as 1-month survival rate and 3-month mortality. A total of 5380 patients with ICH were analyzed, of whom 4052 (75.3%) had eleva
