Race/ethnicity and response to blood pressure lowering treatment after intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is unknown if race/ethnicity modifies the response to blood pressure (BP) lowering treatment after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to examine the race/ethnicity differences in the response to BP lowering treatment after ICH.

Methods

This is a post hoc analysis of the Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage II (ATACH-2) trial. The primary outcome is good outcome, defined as 90-day modified Rankin Scale 0-3. The primary predictor is race/ethnicity for which we included non-Hispanic categories of White, Black, Asian, and the category of Hispanic. We fit adjusted logistic regression models with the predictor of race/ethnicity and models with the interaction term of treatment*race/ethnicity.

Results

We included a total of 953 patients
