Risk Factors for Mortality and Neurologic Disability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

A new study validates two commonly used prognostic scores for neurologic disability or death after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and identifies several additional factors associated with poor outcomes. The researchers screened individual characteristics for their association with 90-day outcome of neurologic disability or mortality, A notable absence" as a risk factor for poor outcomes was anticoagulant use at time of admission.
