Blood pressure reduction and noncontrast CT markers of intracerebral hemorrhage expansion

Conclusions:
NCCT signs reliably identify ICH patients at high risk of hematoma growth. However, we found no evidence that patients with these markers specifically benefit from intensive BP reduction.

Clinicaltrials.gov identifier:
