Temporal Evolution and Outcomes of Non-Traumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Hospitalized Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the radiographic features, temporal evolution, and outcome of patients who develop non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) while hospitalized for other causes.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed consecutive Emergency Department ICH (ED-ICH) and in-hospital ICH (IH-ICH) over an 8-year period. Variables including demographics, medical history, lab values, lead time to diagnosis, defined as time from last known well to first CT scan, and clinical characteristics, follow-up CT scan, as well as the frequency of withdrawal of life support were compared in the two groups.
