Abstract

Stroke is a life threatening condition and remains the most common neurologic cause of hospital admission. Approximately 500,000 new or recurrent strokes are recorded each year in the United States. Behind cardiovascular disease and cancer, stroke remains the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for approximately 150,000 fatalities per year. Approximately 15%-20% of strokes are hemor-rhagic. This article focuses on intracerebral hemorrhage, which accounts for approximately half of stroke-related deaths.

Keywords: intracerebral hemorrhage; mortality; stroke.
