Intracranial Haemorrhage in Patients on Antithrombotics: Clinical Presentation and Determinants of Outcome in a Prospective Multicentric Study in Italian Emergency Departments

Abstract

This study confirms the high prevalence of death or disability in OA and AP patients with ICH. As far as the determinants of mortality and disability are concerned, the results of this study might be useful in the clinical management and allocation of resources in the ED setting. The observed low use of procoagulant therapy highlights the need for ED educational programmes to heighten the awareness of available and effective haemostatic treatments.
