Recent advance in prediction of spontaneous hemorrhagic transformation after acute ischemic stroke / 中华神经医学杂志

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a serious complication after acute ischemic stroke, leading to increased adverse outcomes and mortality. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies in predicting HT occurrence, but most of the existing studies have focused on patients accepted reperfusion therapy, and few studies have predicted spontaneous HT. This article provides a review of epidemiology, risk factors, and available prediction models for prediction of spontaneous HT after acute ischemic stroke.
