〈 i 〉 Objective: 〈 /i 〉 The aim of this investigation was to determine the factors influencing acute intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission and clinical outcomes at discharge. 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 Sixty acute stroke hospitals throughout Japan participated in the Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study (JSSRS), documenting the in-hospital course of 16,630 consecutive patients with acute stroke from January 2001 to March 2004. We identified 2,840 adult patients from the JSSRS who had intracerebral hemorrhage. 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 Intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission was strongly related to age, previous stroke history, and hemorrhage size in a monotone fashion [χ 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 (9) = 374.5, p 〈 0.0001]. Drinking history was also predictive of intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission, but the association was not monotone. Interestingly, intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission was increased in nondrinking and heavy drinking compared to mild drinking (p 〈 0.05). Unsuccessful outcome (modified Rankin scale score = 3–6) was related to age, previous stroke history, hemorrhage size, and intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission [χ 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 (9) = 830.4, p 〈 0.0001]. Mortality was related to hemorrhage size, intraventricular hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage severity on admission, and surgical operation [χ 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 (7) = 540.4, p 〈 0.0001]. 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 We could find four varied factors associated with intracerebral hemorrhage severity and its outcomes. Interestingly, intracerebral hemorrhage severity tended to be greater in nondrinking and heavy drinking than mild drinking. Additionally, surgical operation decreased intracerebral hemorrhage mortality.
