Association Between Anatomical Location and Hematoma Expansion in Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To establish the relationship between hematoma sites of involvement and hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with deep intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods

Eligible patients with deep ICH admitted to hospital within 6 hours of onset between 2018 and 2020 were included in this retrospective multi-center study. Individuals with secondary ICH were excluded. The volume of HE was evaluated based on admission and follow-up computed tomography scans. Associations between deep ICH sites of involvement and HE were examined using multivariable logistic regression analysis while adjusting for confounding covariates of HE.

Results

We enrolled 583 individuals from three stroke centers. Data from a final total of 460 patients were used in the analysis; of these patients
