This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
Hematoma volume predicts outcome and mortality risk following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Therapies that decrease coagulability could cause enlargement of hematomas, thereby increasing the risk of mortality in patients with ICH. Saloheimo et al. studied outcomes in ICH patients regularly taking aspirin or warfarin at presentation.
