Early statin group patients with acute ICH did not have a higher recurrent risk of ICH and might have lower all-cause mortality during follow-up. It is concluded that statin therapy might be beneficial for patients with ICH.

In acute ischemic stroke, patients receiving late statin treatment carried a poorer clinical outcome than those with earlier statin initiation. Inhospital statin use after an acute ischemic stroke did not increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
