One hundred four consecutive cases of primary intracerebral hemorrhage hospitalized at the time of stroke were followed until death or for 1 year. All were treated nonsurgically.

Abstract

One hundred four consecutive cases of primary intracerebral hemorrhage hospitalized at the time of stroke were followed until death or for 1 year. All were treated nonsurgically. The 30-day mortality rate was 30\%. Good clinical outcome and complete resolution of the lesion on computed tomography were observed in 49 and 13\% of patients, respectively. Age, state of consciousness, and size of the hemorrhage on computed tomography scan were reliable prognostic indicators. The long-term survival rate, 66\%, was higher than that previously reported and should be considered in future trials evaluating medical and surgical treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
