European research priorities for intracerebral haemorrhage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over 2 million people are affected by intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) worldwide every year, one third of them dying within 1 month, and many survivors being left with permanent disability. Unlike most other stroke types, the incidence, morbidity and mortality of ICH have not declined over time. No standardised diagnostic workup for the detection of the various underlying causes of ICH currently exists, and the evidence for medical or surgical therapeutic interventions remains limited. A dedicated European research programme for ICH is needed to identify ways to reduce the burden of ICH-related death and disability. The European Research Network on Intracerebral Haemorrhage EURONICH is a multidisciplinary academic research collaboration that has been established to define current research priorities and to conduct large clinical studies on all aspects of ICH.

Stroke research priorities for the next decade--a supplement statement on intracranial haemorrhage.
Correspondence interest over the last years. Many agree that the advances of modern imaging tools have clearly outdated the concept of so-called 'primary' intracerebral haemorrhage. Even cerebral 'small-vessel disease' may now be categorized into more specific subtypes (am-yloid angiopathy, hypertensive arteriolopathy, genetic small-vessel disease, etc.) [2]. In an aging population, there is al...
متن کاملFactor XIII Val34Leu polymorphism in primary intracerebral haemorrhage.
INTRODUCTION Recently, the common Val34Leu polymorphism of the A-chain factor XIII gene, associated with high factor XIII activity, has been identified as a protective genetic factor against occlusive arterial and venous diseases. Moreover, this polymorphism has been suggested to be the first one to increase the risk of cerebral haemorrhage in a small number of Caucasian patients. The aim of ou...
متن کاملConsent for Brain Tissue Donation after Intracerebral Haemorrhage: A Community-Based Study
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage is a devastating form of stroke and its incidence increases with age. Obtaining brain tissue following intracerebral haemorrhage helps to understand its cause. Given declining autopsy rates worldwide, the feasibility of establishing an autopsy-based collection and its generalisability are uncertain. METHODS We used multiple overlapping sources ...
متن کاملOutcome of intracerebral haemorrhage patients pre-treated with statins.
BACKGROUND Statins treatment may have potential clinical impact in vascular disease beyond cholesterol lowering. Its benefits have been documented in cerebral ischaemia and in subarachnoid haemorrhage. In intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), experimental models in statin-treated animals have better outcome than non-treated ones, but in humans the relationship is unclear. We investigated whether pat...
متن کاملThe Edinburgh CT and genetic diagnostic criteria for lobar intracerebral haemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy: model development and diagnostic test accuracy study
BACKGROUND Identification of lobar spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is important because it is associated with a higher risk of recurrent intracerebral haemorrhage than arteriolosclerosis-associated intracerebral haemorrhage. We aimed to develop a prediction model for the identification of CAA-associated lobar intracerebral haemorrhage usin...
