Incidence and prognosis of first-ever intracerebral hemorrhage on antiplatelet therapy over 10 years in a population-based stroke registry.

The use of antiplatelet therapy (APT) is prevalent among the general population, sometimes without clear indications. We provided updated figures on the incidence and prognosis of first-ever intracerebral hemorrhage occurring on APT (APT-ICH) over 10 years in a population-based stroke registry and investigated the rates of inappropriate APT prescription. We included all cases of first-ever ICH not on anticoagulants from January 2011 to December 2020 in the district of L'Aquila (Southern Italy).

Sex Differences in the Epidemiology of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Over 10 Years in a Population-Based Stroke Registry.

Background: We investigated incidence and outcome of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in a population-based stroke registry and provided data to inform on the figures of the disease in women and in men.

Methods And Results: Our prospective population-based registry included patients with first-ever ICH occurring from January 2011 to December 2020. Incidence rates were standardized to the 2011 Italian and European population, and incidence rate ratios were calculated.

Epidemiology and outcomes of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with oral anticoagulation over 10 years in a population-based stroke registry.

Background: Recent years have seen a change in the use of anticoagulants in the general population due to the availability of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as an alternative to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and increased detection of atrial fibrillation. It is important to have updated epidemiological data to understand how this change is impacting on the occurrence and outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Patients And Methods: Our prospective population-based registry included patients with first-ever ICH occurring from January 2011 to December 2020.

Epidemiology and treatment of atraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage over 10 years in a population-based registry.

Introduction: Incidence of atraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is decreasing over time and its treatment is changing. We reported epidemiologic data on aneurysmal (a-) and non-aneurysmal (na-) SAH over 10 years.

Patients And Methods: Our prospective population-based registry included patients with first-ever SAH occurring from January 2011 to December 2020.

Donor Site Wound Healing in Radial Forearm Flap: A Comparative Study Between Dermal Substitute and Split-Thickness Skin Graft Versus Full-Thickness Skin Graft Primary Coverage.

Radial forearm flap (RFF) is one of the most used flaps in reconstructive surgery. Despite its versatility and effectiveness, the donor site is affected by aesthetic and functional issues. In the group of techniques described to improve the donor site morbidity, dermal substitutes offer a valid approach in the wound management.
