Abstract:
Objective To analyze the correlative factors and cause of death within short-term in initially lucid patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods 441 patients with spontaneous ICH admitted within 24 hours of onset and with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score more than 9 on admission were enrolled. The demographic characteristics, clinical features at onset, CT, electrocardiograph (ECG) and laboratory findings, medical complications and 27 days outcome were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed.Results 24 (5.4%) patients died winthin 27 days after onset, 14 (58.3%) died of brain herniation and central respiratory failure, another 10 (41.7%) of systemic complications. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age was 75 years old or more, urinary incontinence at onset, peripheral white blood cell count more than 10.0?10 9/L on admission, blood glucose more than 7.0 mmol/L and abnormal ECG were independent correlative factors of death.Conclusions The short-term outcome of initially lucid patients with ICH is favorable in general, albeit with a relatively low mortality. Brain herniation and central respiratory failure were main cause of death, and they have independent correlative risk factors.
