Higher early mortality risk in hemorrhagic stroke may guide acute monitoring; leaves open whether long-term strategies should differ from ischemic stroke.
Does hemorrhagic stroke compared to ischemic stroke affect mortality and stroke severity in hospitalized stroke patients?
Hemorrhagic strokes are generally more severe and associated with a significantly higher early mortality risk compared to ischemic strokes, though this excess risk dissipates after 3 months.
Andersen et al. (2009) studied this question.
