Long-term prognosis of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract: The diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has become precise with the advent of computerized tomography (CT). Little, however, is known concerning the long-term prognosis. Seventy consecutive patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (all known etiologies except hypertension excluded) proven by CT scan were studied. Follow up, averaging 2 1/2 years, was successful in all cases. The status of alertness, EKG, and clinical impression on admission were significant prognostic factors. As expected, mortal… Show more

“…In addition, relatively short follow-up and a small patient population make difficult any determination as to whether the lack of observed recurrence reflected a real difference between hypertension-related ICH and the play of chance. 11 An additional study did not report the relationship between hypertension and lobar or nonlobar hemorrhage, neither at index event nor with recurrence. However, these authors also conclude that lobar ICH is more likely to recur.…”

“…2 Lobar location of the index ICH appeared to confer a higher risk of recurrent ICH compared with deep, hemispheric ICH (table 3; rate ratio 2.2; p ϭ 0.002) based on data from four studies. 6,8,9,11 The aggregate rate of recurrent ICH in the 192 patients with initial lobar ICH was 4.4% per patient-year (95% CI, 3.1% to 6.3%) versus 2.1% per patient-year (95% CI, 1.6% to 2.7%) among the 823 patients whose index event was a deep, hemispheric ICH. When data from an additional trial that was restricted to survivors of primary lobar ICH were added to the analysis, the rate of ICH recurrence in patients surviving primary lobar ICH was 5.4% per patient-year (95% CI, 4.1% to 7.1%).…”

“…Several prognostic factors have been identified in previous studies of ICH, including the level of consciousness at presentation, 42 hematoma size, 43 and intraventricular extension. 44 In the present series, the prognosis was poor in a univariate analysis that included hypertension as cause of ICH and ventricular extension, which was associated with the ICH located in the basal ganglia.…”

“…'6'7 For the assessment of outcome after one year, the Rankin scale was contracted into two categories: functionally independent (corresponding to grades zero, one or two) and functionally dependent (corresponding to grades three, four or five). The severity of the hemiparesis was estimated according to the Medical Research Council scale, in the most severely affected muscle groups and dichotomised in severe (0-2) versus moderate to no hemiparesis or normal power (3)(4)(5). Blood glucose levels could be obtained in all but 19 patients.…”
