Multicenter Study Observational StudyRelative systolic blood pressure reduction and clinical outcomes in hyperacute intracerebral hemorrhage: the SAMURAI-ICH observational study.
Blood pressure lowering is often performed as a part of general acute management in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The relationship between relative blood pressure reduction and clinical outcomes is not fully known. ⋯ Insufficient relative SBP reduction after standardized antihypertensive therapy in hyperacute ICH was independently associated with poor clinical outcomes. Aggressive antihypertensive treatment may improve clinical outcomes.
