Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in a Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: A Retrospective Analysis.

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) carries a high mortality and morbidity burden, with multiple factors influencing outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of in-hospital outcomes for patients with sICH at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. METHODS: , and logistic and Cox regression to identify predictors of mortality and time to mortality. RESULTS: < .001). CONCLUSION: Predictors of in-hospital mortality included intraventricular extension, management complications, changes in GCS, and increasing SBP. Identifying and mitigating these factors, along with implementing rapid intervention protocols, are essential for improving outcomes in patients with sICH.
