Overview

In an exploratory analysis of patients who received red blood cell transfusions, patients who underwent transfusion with red blood cells from donors who later developed multiple spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs), were at significantly increased risk of spontaneous ICH themselves.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a medical condition characterized by bleeding within the brain's tissue. This bleeding occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and leaks blood into the surrounding brain tissue. ICH is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to neurological deficits, coma, or even death.
