Universitätsklinikum Erlangen Cohort of Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No intervention for Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Completed, enrolled 1,076 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Intracerebral hemorrhage \[ICH\] is the most feared sub-type of stroke, associated with a high mortality rate up to 50% and thus leaving large proportions of patients in functionally dependent states. In recent years randomized trials have failed to provide an effective intervention to improve functional outcome in ICH. Therefore, evidence regarding acute therapeutic interventions as well as secondary treatment approaches is still limited. The present monocentric longitudinal study on spontaneous ICH patients is based on a prospective institutional stroke registry including all hemorrhagic stroke patients treated at a German University Hospital, Department of Neurology, over a 10 year time frame (2006-2015). The main aim of this investigation, besides analyses of epidemiological aspects, will be (i) to identify possible treatment targets influencing functional outcome, and (ii) to evaluate existing therapeutic strategies in ICH care.
