Time to hospital presentation following intracerebral haemorrhage: Proportion of patients presenting within eight hours and factors associated with delayed presentation

Prolonged time to diagnosis of primary intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) can result in delays in obtaining appropriate blood pressure control, reversal of coagulopathy or surgical intervention in select cases. We sought to characterise the time to diagnosis in a cohort of patients with ICH and identify factors associated with delayed diagnosis.
