Relation between the increase of bleeding volume and the outcome in patients with cerebral hemorrhage at the early stage

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the increase of bleeding volume in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at the early stage and the outcome. Methods: The clinical data of 132 patients with ICH were divided into two groups:the group with increased bleeding volume and the group with unchanged bleeding volume. Results: Twenty-six of the 64 cases died in the increased hemorrhage group and 11 of 68 cases died in the unchanged hemorrhage volume group (P<0.005). Conclusions: The death rate is high in the early stage of ICH. The reason for death is the increase of bleeding volume, which is relevant to hypertension, regular administration of aspirin and so on.
