Primary intraventricular hemorrhage outcomes in the CLEAR III trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraventricular hemorrhage occurs due to intracerebral hemorrhage with intraventricular extension or without apparent parenchymal involvement, known as primary intraventricular hemorrhage.

Aims

We evaluated the prognosis of primary intraventricular hemorrhage patients in the CLEAR III trial (Clot Lysis: Evaluating Accelerated Resolution of Intraventricular Hemorrhage).

Methods

In patients with primary intraventricular hemorrhage versus those with secondary intraventricular hemorrhage, we compared intraventricular alteplase response and outcomes including modified Rankin Scale, Barthel Index, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (eGOS) at 30, 180, and 365 days. Outcomes were also compared in primary intraven
