Purpose: To estimate the strength of association between use of antithrombotics (AT) drugs with survival after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (s-ICH) comparing oral anticoagulant (OAC) or platelet antiaggregants (PA) with no AT use and in active comparator analyses OAC vs PA, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA), and clopidogrel vs aspirin.
Patients And Methods: We identified patients ≥55 years with a first-ever s-ICH between 2015 and 2018 in Southern Denmark (population 1.2 million).
Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the stroke detection performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and additionally to identify reporting insufficiencies.
Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed. MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, and IEEE Xplore were searched for studies utilising MRI and AI for stroke detection.
Background And Objectives: Few population-based studies have assessed associations between the use of antithrombotic (platelet antiaggregant or anticoagulant) drugs and location-specific risks of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (s-ICH). In this study, we estimated associations between antithrombotic drug use and the risk of lobar vs nonlobar incident s-ICH.
Methods: Using Danish nationwide registries, we identified cases in the Southern Denmark Region of first-ever s-ICH in patients aged 50 years or older between 2009 and 2018.

Importance: Survivors of spontaneous (ie, nontraumatic and with no known structural cause) intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have an increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACEs), including recurrent ICH, ischemic stroke (IS), and myocardial infarction (MI). Only limited data are available from large, unselected population studies assessing the risk of MACEs according to index hematoma location.
Objective: To examine the risk of MACEs (ie, the composite of ICH, IS, spontaneous intracranial extra-axial hemorrhage, MI, systemic embolism, or vascular death) after ICH based on ICH location (lobar vs nonlobar).
