Review Meta Analysis
Cognitive impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The present systematic review and meta-analysis analyzes the available clinical literature on post-intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) cognitive impairment. ⋯ The prevalence of post-ICH cognitive impairment is high. Despite the heterogeneity among studies, the present study identified cognitive domains most commonly affected and predictors of cognitive impairment after ICH. In future, prospective cohort studies with larger sample sizes and standardized cognitive domains testing could more accurately determine prevalence and prognostic factors of post-ICH cognitive decline.
