High haemoglobin levels and mortality in males with intracerebral haemorrhage: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine the association between high haemoglobin levels and outcomes in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in a multicentre cohort study.

Design

Prospective multicentre cohort study.

Settings

21 tertiary hospitals across mainland China.

Participants

A total of 5318 consecutive in-hospital spontaneous ICH patients were recruited between January 2012 and June 2016.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Haemoglobin levels were measured on admission. Binary or ordinary logistic regression was used to evaluate the independent relationship of haemoglobin level with clinical outcomes at 3 months, measured as death or disability. Restricted cubic spline regression was fitted to examine the potential non-linear shape of the dose-response curve between
