Leukoaraiosis is Associated with Short- and Long-term Mortality in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage

In unselected patients in Southern Norway with first-ever ICH, severe leukoaraiosis is independently associated with both 30-day and long-term mortality in 30-day survivors. Warfarin is independently associated with 30-day mortality and coronary heart disease with long-term mortality in 30-day survivors. Recurrent ICH is more frequent after lobar ICH than after ICH in other locations.
