Genetics of Cerebral Hemorrhage with Anticoagulation (GOCHA)

ABSTRACT: This is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of spontaneous ICH. Subjects were recruited from among consecutive patients ≥ 55 years old who presented with primary hemorrhage to the Massachusetts General Hospital or one of our off-site collaborators from 1999 to 2010. Potential subjects were identified by screening lists of all admissions to the neurology and neurosurgery inpatient services. All patients underwent routine clinical evaluation, including history taking and physical examination, laboratory testing, and computed tomography of the brain.

Risk of thromboembolism following acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
Neurocritical care 20080923 1
<h4>Introduction</h4>Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared complication of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). While anticoagulated patients have increased severity of bleeding following ICH, they may also be at increased risk for thromboembolic events (TEs) given that they had been prescribed OAT prior to their ICH. We hypothesized that TEs are relatively common following ICH, and that anticoagulated patients are at higher risk for these complications.<h4>Methods</h4>Consecutive patie ...[more]
