Clinical Study Of Hematoma Growth In Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Objective: Hematoma growth in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with early neurological deterioration, and seriously influences patients'prognosis, so it is increasingly concerned in cerebrovascular diseases. We conducted this prospective study to determine the possible mechanisms of hematoma growth and identify potential predictors and risk factors related with hematoma growth through contrast analyses between patients with and without hematoma growth. In order to make some guidances on causes of clinical deterioration and selecting efficiently therapy to prevent hematoma growth in time, the clinical features, biochemical parameters, hemodynamic measurement, platelet function, coagulation function, neuroimaging and so on were analyzed in patients with ICH. It might be possible to reduce the brain injury in a less degree and decrease the disabling rate and mortality and improve the patients'life qualities through performing the study.Methods: Seventy-one patients with ICH who were admitted to our hospital within 3 hours after ictus from April, 2004 to December, 2005 were studied. All of the patients with ICH were matched with diagnosis by clinical standards referred...
