Coagulation Profile after Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Cohort Study

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes death or disability and the incidence increases with age. Knowledge of acute hemostatic function in patients with ICH without anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy is sparse. Increased knowledge of the coagulation profile in the acute phase of ICH could improve acute treatment and recovery. We investigated coagulation at admission and changes in coagulation during the first 24 hours after symptom onset.
