Protocol Deviations before and after Treatment with Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Community Hospitals
We examined predictors of protocol deviations and the effects of protocol violations on symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).

Hospital Readmission after Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe form of stroke, but limited literature exists on readmission after ICH. We aimed to assess frequencies, causes, and predictors of early and late readmissions within 1 year after ICH.

Sulfonylurea Pretreatment and In-Hospital Use Does Not Impact Acute Ischemic Strokes (AIS) Outcomes Following Intravenous Thrombolysis
Preliminary studies have indicated that sulfonylurea drugs (SUD) may confer protection against cerebral swelling and hemorrhagic transformation in severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We sought to determine whether pretreatment and in-hospital use of SUD may be associated with better outcomes in diabetic AIS patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Comments on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We were interested to read the paper by Nzwalo et  al that was published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases in 2018.1 The study was conducted to determine the predictors of 30-day in-hospital spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage mortality in Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal. It is clear that an interesting study has been conducted, but some methodological issues need to be taken into account.

Response to Commentary on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We appreciate the correspondence by Safiri and Ashrafi-Asgarabad regarding our article “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study” recently published in Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.1 It appears as if the methods and objectives of our study were misinterpreted. The main objective was to ide ntify the 30-day in-hospital predictors of death based on demographic, clinical, and radiological variables and for that, multivariate analysis was performed.

Alcohol-Related Hospital Encounters Trigger Thrombotic and Hemorrhagic Vascular Events
We investigated the associations between alcohol-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations and vascular events including acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

A Triage Model for Interhospital Transfers of Low Risk Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has an annual incidence of about 30 per 100,000 adults in the US and continues to carry a high morbidity and mortality.1,2 ICH is a dynamic condition with up to one-third of patients having neurologic deterioration after presentation.3,4 Despite paucity of ICH-specific therapies to improve outcomes, some data suggest that management in specialized neurocritical care units reduces mortality.5 Further, the 2015 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend acute treatment of ICH at tertiary care centers with “neurology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, and critical care facil...

National Trends in Transfer of Patients with Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage: An Analysis of 12-Year Nationwide Data
In this study, we explored the national trends in transferred intracerebral hemorrhage hospitalizations, as well as evaluated the differences, in terms of demographic characteristics, co-morbidity, resource utilization, and outcomes, between transferred intracerebral hemorrhage hospitalizations and directly admitted hospitalizations.

Whole-Brain Permeability Analysis on Admission Improves Prediction of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with significant morbidity and mortality.1 Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), one of the most feared complications of aSAH, mostly occurs within 4-14 days (termed the DCI time window, DCITW) in approximately 30-40% of survivors of initial aneurysmal rupture and is a major contributor to subsequent death, poor function outcome, and prolonged stay in the intensive care unit and hospital,2,3 Prediction of the occurrence of DCI as early and precisely as possible is essential to improving the outcome of patients with aSAH.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts in-Hospital Mortality in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the world's three most lethal and disabling diseases, which is the second most common kind of stroke and imposes enormous health, economic and social burdens.1-3 Although clinical examination and neuroimaging are available to assess the severity and progression of intracerebral hemorrhage, more reliable indicators are needed to predict the outcome.4,5 Due to the essential role of inflammatory factors in the development of intracerebral hemorrhage, it has attracted increasing attention as a peripheral biomarker for predicting early mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Using the ICH score during acute telestroke consults to triage transfer to tertiary centers
Constrained resources at tertiary centers indicate a need for re-exploration of the practice of routinely transferring all community hospital patients with complex conditions such as hemorrhagic stroke (ICH). We addressed the clinical question of whether information available during acute care telestroke consults could identify ICH patients not requiring specialty services or neurosurgical intervention who could safely remain at the local center for care.
