ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We investigated clinical characteristics and independent outcome predictors of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) in the very elderly patients.METHODS:
From January 2001 to December 2005, we analyzed retrospectively 28 very elderly patients(> or = 80 years) with hypertensive ICH admitted to our neurosurgical department. As a control group, 200 younger patients( or = 80 years than in the control group(35.7% vs. 19.0%, respectively, p = 0.005). By multivariate analysis, in ICH patients > or = 80 years, only coma(Glasgow coma scale score < or = 8) was independently associated with 30-day mortality(odds rati[OR]25.5, 95% confidence interva[CI]2.36 - 275.74, p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Our result suggests that the very elderly patients with hypertensive ICH may present some different clinical characteristics from those in their younger counterparts.
