CT-Visible Convexity Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Predicts Early Recurrence of Lobar Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) may predict an increased recurrence risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) survivors. We aimed to investigate whether cSAH detected on CT was related to early recurrence in patients with ICH related to CAA.

Methods

We analyzed data from consecutive lobar ICH patients diagnosed as probable or possible CAA according to the Boston criteria using the method of cohort study. Demographic and clinical data, ICH recurrence at discharge and within 90 days were collected. The association between cSAH detected on CT and early recurrent ICH was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.

Results

A total of 197 cases (74 [66-80] years) were included. cSAH was observed on
