Approximately 10%of the 795000 strokes per year in the United States are intracerebral hemorrhages(ICHs),defined by brain injury attributable to acute blood extravasation into the brain parenchyma from a ruptured cerebral blood vessel.The clinical impact of ICH appears disproportionately high among lower-resource populations both in the United States and internationally.In US-based studies,ICH incidence has been reported to be≈1.6-fold greater among Black than White people and 1.6-fold greater among Mexican American than nonHispanic White people.Internationally,ICH incidence is substantially higher in low-and middle-income versus high-income countries,both as a proportion of all strokes and in absolute incidence rates.
Several additional features of ICH make it a greater public health threat than conveyed by incidence numbers alone.ICH is arguably the deadliest form of acute stroke,with early-term mortality about 30%to 40%and no or minimal trend toward improvement over more recent time epochs.Incidence of ICH increases sharply with age and is therefore expected to remain substantial as the population ages,even with counterbalancing public health improvements in blood pressure(BP)control.Another growing source of ICH is more widespread use of anticoagulants,a trend likely to counterbalance the reduced ICH risk associated with increasing prescription of direct oral anticoagulants(DOACs)relative to vitamin K antagonists(VKAs).ICH thus remains in need of novel treatments and improved application of established approaches for every aspect of the disease:primary and secondary prevention,acute inpatient care,and poststroke rehabilitation and recovery.This guideline seeks to synthesize data in the ICH field into practical recommendations for clinical practice.
