Article Synopsis
- Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) rates are significantly higher in patients taking anticoagulants, and a study in Spain aims to analyze trends in ICH-OAC occurrences over time.
- The research combined data from three major studies (2008-2015), including over 600 patients, to assess changes in ICH-OAC incidence.
- Findings show a 3.73-fold increase in ICH-OAC cases, with aging populations being a contributing factor to the rising rates.
Background And Purpose: Spain has been one of the countries heavily stricken by COVID-19. But this epidemic has not affected all regions equally. We analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital stroke admissions and in-hospital mortality in tertiary referral hospitals from North-West Spain.

In this study, we describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients receiving OACs who experience ICH and compare those receiving vitamin K antagonists (ICH-VKAs) with those receiving direct OACs (ICH-DOACs).
Methods: We performed a national, multicenter, descriptive, observational, retrospective study of all adult patients receiving OACs who were admitted to the neurology department with ICH over a 1-year period.
