Article Synopsis
- Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) poses significant risks during and after pregnancy, with a study examining its characteristics in pregnant individuals compared to nonpregnant adults.
- Among 134 young adults analyzed, 19% experienced pregnancy-associated ICH (P-ICH), primarily occurring in the postpartum period, and P-ICH showed a higher likelihood of being primary (spontaneous) compared to nonpregnant women.
- Despite lower in-hospital mortality rates for P-ICH patients (4%) versus nonpregnant women (13%) and men (24%), a quarter of P-ICH patients were left bedbound or dependent upon discharge, indicating serious functional impairments.
