چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to estimate the annual adult incidence and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and oral anticoagulant-associated ICH (OAC-ICH) in the Netherlands. METHODS We retrospectively selected all consecutive adult patients with a nontraumatic ICH seen in 1 of 3 hospitals in the region South-Limburg, the Netherlands, from 2007 to 2009. Crude incidences were age-adjusted to Dutch and European population. RESULTS We identified 652 ICH cases, of which 168 (25.8%) were OAC associated. The adult Dutch age-adjusted annual incidence of ICH and OAC-ICH was 34.8 (95% confidence interval, 32.0-37.8) and 8.7 (95% confidence interval, 7.3-10.3) per 100 000 person-years, respectively. The absolute risk of OAC-ICH was estimated at 0.46% per patient-year of OAC treatment. CONCLUSIONS The annual incidences of ICH and OAC-ICH are relatively high in the Netherlands when compared with international literature.

Recombinant factor VIIa for rapid reversal of anticoagulant effect in patients with intracranial hemorrhage: the Israeli experience and review of the literature.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for 4–5% of cases of acute stroke and is associated with a substantially worse prognosis than ischemic stroke. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is associated with a high mortality rate, almost 50%. Intracranial hemorrhages associated with oral anticoagulants can be divided into intracerebral, subdural/epidural, and subarachnoid. ICH constitutes ...

OBJECTIVE To define temporal trends in the incidence of anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (AAICH) during the 1990s and relate them to rates of cardioembolic ischemic stroke. METHODS We identified all patients hospitalized with first-ever intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in greater Cincinnati during 1988, from July 1993 through June 1994, and during 1999. AAICH was defined as ICH...

Hematoma growth in oral anticoagulant related intracerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limited data suggest that intracerebral hemorrhage related to oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT ICH) is associated with more hemorrhage expansion and a worse prognosis than spontaneous ICH (SICH). METHODS We examined patients enrolled in the placebo arm of the CHANT study, a prospective randomized trial of a putative neuroprotectant in patients with ICH. All patients had ...
