Overview

OAC-related ICH associated with higher mortality; leaves open whether reversal protocols improve outcomes in prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does oral anticoagulant use prior to intracranial haemorrhage increase in-hospital mortality compared to non-use?

P
Population
Patients admitted with intracranial haemorrhages over a six-year period to a tertiary care centre in the North of Scotland, including 68 patients treated with oral anticoagulants.
I
Intervention
Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy at the time of intracranial haemorrhage
C
Comparator
No oral anticoagulant therapy at the time of intracranial haemorrhage
O
Outcome
In-hospital mortality, clinical course, and radiological features (haematoma size)hard clinical

Oral anticoagulant-related intracranial haemorrhages are associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to non-OAC-related haemorrhages, despite similar haematoma sizes.
