Large Relative Surface Area of Hematomas Predict a Poor Outcome in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of relative surface area of hematoma on poor prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients with sICH who met the inclusion criteria, attending to Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2019 to September 2020. Cranial CT within 6 h of onset was completed and repeated in 24 h.

Impact of COVID-19 on Acute Stroke Presentation in a Designated COVID-19 Hospital.

Thousands of designated COVID-19 hospitals have been set up in China to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Anecdotal reports indicate a falling rate of acute stroke diagnoses in these hospitals during the COVID-19 period. We conducted an exploratory single-center analysis to estimate the change in acute stroke presentation at the designated COVID-19 hospitals.
