Admission pulse pressure and short-term clinical outcome in patients with intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage in Inner Mongolia, China.
There are currently no data on the comparison of relationship of admission pulse pressure (PP) level with short-term clinical outcome between patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the Chinese population. We studied the association between admission PP and in-hospital death or dependency in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage in Inner Mongolia, China. ⋯ Increased PP was significantly and positively associated with poor short-term clinical outcome among patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage, but not acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, in Inner Mongolia, China.
