Abstract:
69 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) admitted within 24 hours of stroke onset. 14/69 patients (20.3%) with enlarged hematomas after the first CT was performed during 30 minutes at admission and the second within 24-36 hours of admission (33%). Multivariate analyses revealed that the following three factors were independently associated with hematoma enlargement: the time from stroke onset, prothrombin ratio, the shape of hematoma. Hematoma enlargement was an independent factor increasing the mortality rate in the HICH patients
