Objective: To determine what if any differences in presentation exist between men and women who present with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: This was an IRB approved prospective cohort study of ED patients presenting with acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Statistical analyses were performed in JMP 14.1. Non parametric methods were used for skewed variables. The study was conducted in a comprehensive stroke center. The independent variable was the ICH score, and the dependent variable of interest was ultimate disposition (death or hospice vs. home or skilled nursing facility).
Results: The cohort consisted of 129 patients (54 women and 75 men). The median age was 71 years (IQR 58-81). The baseline co-morbidities were similar between both men and women and whether or not they were independent in their activities of daily living prior to experiencing their ICH. The overall median ICH score for women was 2, IQR 1-4, and 1 for men, IQR 1-2 (P = 0.0369) . A higher ICH score was significantly associated with in-hospital death and or hospice status (P = .0095, 95% CI 0.6340 - 0.4825). Conversely, a lower ICH score was significantly associated with being discharged home (P< 0.001, 95% CI -0.1694 to -0.0759).
Conclusion: Women have higher ICH scores than men at initial ED presentation for intracerebral hemorrhage. A higher ICH score is significantly associated with the worse outcomes of death and/or hospice.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how COVID-19 affected acute stroke care and outcome in patients with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. We performed a retrospective analysis on patients who were admitted with acute ischemic (AIS) or hemorrhagic (ICH) stroke from September 2020 to May 2021 with and without COVID-19. We recorded demographic and clinical data, imaging parameters, functional outcome and mortality at one year.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the etiology, natural history, and impact of surgical intervention on outcomes of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
Methods: The authors completed a retrospective review of LVAD patients who presented with ICH at 2 centers between 2013 and 2022. Patients were reviewed for demographic, clinical, and radiographic variables.

Background/objectives: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is highly prevalent in hospitalized patients and can lead to major consequences. The prevalence of OH among patients with stroke has also been reported to be high in in-patient cohorts. However, no previous analysis has focused exclusively on patients with hemorrhagic stroke, a group that may have a different disease profile, including a greater need for blood pressure control and surgical intervention.

Background: Long-term patterns of functional outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have not been well elucidated in population-based studies from low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to define long-term functional outcomes, associated prognostic factors, and recovery patterns for patients with acute ICH.
Methods: We conducted a prospective population-based stroke incidence study in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with prospective follow-up.

The present study aims at providing reference values from the general pediatric population for the German version of the 21-item self-report post version of the Postconcussion Symptom Inventory for adolescents aged 13-17 years (PCSI-SR13) following pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI). A total of N = 950 adolescents completed an adapted version of the PCSI-SR13. Prior to establishing reference values using percentiles, psychometric properties (i.
