Risk of Mortality After an Arterial Ischemic Event Among Intracerebral Hemorrhage Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The impact of arterial ischemic events after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on outcomes is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of death among ICH survivors with and without an incident arterial ischemic event.

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study using claims data from Medicare beneficiaries with a non-traumatic ICH from January 2008 to October 2015. Our exposure was an arterial ischemic event, a composite of acute ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction (MI), identified using validated ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. The outcome was mortality. We used marginal structural models to analyze the risk of death among ICH patients with and without an arterial ischemic event, after adjusting for confounders as time-varying covariates.
