International Care Bundle Evaluation in Cerebral Hemorrhage Research (I-CATCHER)
BackgroundSpontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) accounts for approximately 10-15% of all strokes but stands for 50% of stroke-related morbidity and mortality. Approximately half of all patients with ICH have a decreased level of consciousness at hospital admission.
