- Abstract
The article focuses on the treatments for improving clinical outcome for intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). It notes the doubt for treatments such as inpatient care despite it can reduce ICH mortality as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for these are simple. Meanwhile, haemostatic drugs and lowering blood pressure reduce ICH growth, but does note improve clinical outcomes. It says that haemostatic drugs are biologically plausible treatment and thus only needs further research to be useful.
