Abstract | OBJECT: METHODS: The authors assessed the 3-month mortality rate in patients with spontaneous ICH (453 individuals) who were admitted to the stroke unit of Oulu University Hospital within a period of 11 years (1993-2004). RESULTS: The 3-month mortality rate for the 453 patients was 28%. The corresponding mortality rates were 42% for the patients who had ischemic heart disease and 61% for those with atrial fibrillation on admission. The following independent predictors of death emerged after adjustment for sex and the use of warfarin or aspirin at the onset of ICH: 1) ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio [HR] 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-2.48, p < 0.02); 2) atrial fibrillation on admission (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.12-2.86, p < 0.02); 3) the Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission (HR 0.82 per unit, 95% CI 0.79-0.87, p < 0.01); 4) size of hematoma (HR 1.11 per 10 ml, 95% CI 1.07-1.16, p < 0.01); 5) intraventricular hemorrhage (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.71-4.02, p < 0.01); 6) age (HR 1.04 per year, 95% CI 1.02-1.06, p < 0.01); and 7) infratentorial location of the hematoma (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.26-2.97, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS:
