Key result
Electrocardiographic abnormalities frequently occurred in patients with intracranial hemorrhage but were not significantly associated with clinical outcomes such as death or discharge.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to improve understanding of the association between electrocardiographic abnormalities and clinical outcomes in patients with all types of intracranial hemorrhage.
Are electrocardiographic abnormalities associated with clinical outcomes in patients with intracranial hemorrhage?
Population
291 patients (228 adults and 63 children) with ICH without cardiac disease or dialysis-requiring renal disease
Design
Retrospective cohort study with blinded ECG interpretation

ECG abnormalities in ICH lack prognostic value; leaves open whether routine monitoring affects management.

Significant ECG changes frequently occur in patients with intracranial hemorrhage but do not consistently predict clinical outcomes.
Yaghmoor et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Intracranial hemorrhage (n=291). Electrocardiographic abnormalities vs. Normal electrocardiogram was evaluated on Clinical outcomes (death vs discharge) (p=0.616). Electrocardiographic abnormalities frequently occurred in patients with intracranial hemorrhage but were not significantly associated with clinical outcomes such as death or discharge.
