Incidence of Ischemic and Thrombotic Events Following Nontraumatic Intracerebral and Subarachnoid Hemorrhages

Abstract

the factors (hypertension, mellitus, atrial fibrillation, initial neurological indices (Glasgow scale, ICH and Hess and bleeding size in were evaluated 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage for the incidence of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic heart disease, and ischemic s troke. Results: 165 patients had intracerebral hemorrhage and 38 patients had subarachnoid hemorrhage. The cumulative incidence of thromboischemic events in an unselected intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage population was 31%. The overall incidence rates of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic heart disease, and ischemic s troke after 6 months of intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage onset were 10.9%, 5%, 10%, and 7.4%, respectively. The mean time to the events was 145.5 ± 5.5 days. Conclusion: Age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation were the significant independent risk factors for thromboischemic events. Age, higher ICH score, Hunt & Hess grade, and hemorrhage size >30cc have shown significant correlations with the development of deep vein thrombosis.
