====== Intracerebral hemorrhage outcome ======

[[Intracerebral hemorrhage]] (ICH) carries the highest [[mortality]] and [[morbidity]] of all [[stroke]] types.

[[Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage outcome]].

[[Traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage outcome]].
----
Whereas younger patients show an excellent outcome, the elderly population of the traumatic cases demonstrates a poor outcome similar to that of the nontraumatic cohort. Intracerebral hemorrhage expansion under  novel [[oral anticoagulant]]s (NOACs) rather than under [[vitamin K antagonist]]s (VKAs) is more likely in the elderly after TBI. Larger prospective trials are warranted to elucidate the potential individual underlying molecular mechanisms for the development of an [[intracerebral hemorrhage]] and [[hematoma expansion]] in these diseases
