Long-term prognosis after intracerebral haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to determine the risk of recurrent intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), ischaemic stroke, all stroke, any vascular event and all-cause mortality in 30-day survivors of ICH, according to age and sex.

Patients and methods

We linked national hospital discharge, population and cause of death registers to obtain a cohort of Dutch 30-day survivors of ICH from 1998 to 2010. We calculated cumulative incidences of recurrent ICH, ischaemic stroke, all stroke and composite vascular outcome, adjusted for competing risk of death and all-cause mortality. Additionally, we compared survival with the general population.

Results

We included 19,444 ICH-survivors (52% male; median age 72 years, interquartile range 61-79; 78,654 patient-years of follow-u
