Disability-Adjusted Life-Years Associated With Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Secondary Injury

Abstract

These findings suggest that there is a high burden of disability associated with ICH and secondary injuries, and the findings may guide public health strategies. The study findings further suggest that IVH and PHE may be relevant for the overall outcome of patients with ICH, that DALYs may represent a viable outcome parameter for studies to evaluate treatment outcomes in ICH research, and that IVH and PHE may represent potential treatment targets.
