Despite much medical progress, stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability. Physicians are faced with the task of predicting the likely outcome. The aim of our study was to analyze the frequency of various risk factors and determine predictors of in-hospital mortality among primary intracerebral hemorrhage(PICH)patients, thus providing insight in developing therapeutic strategies to improve the outcome.
