Prediction of short-term prognosis in elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Key summary points AbstractSection Aim Identification of predictors of short-term death after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) in the elderly. AbstractSection Findings The short-term case fatality (38.7%) after SICH is high in the elderly. Hematoma volume, decreased level of consciousness and functional reserve, but not age per se, increase the risk of short-term death. AbstractSection Message Age per se should not justify any decision of withholding best treatment in elderly SICH patients. Offering the best acute treatment can potentially improve the clinical outcome.
